Agent Assignment Predictability

    Great plugin guys. We were looking forward to using this as a method of support. However, the auto-assignment of tickets led us to find another solution for now.

    We have a number of super admins in our MU install, and it’s pulling the super with the less tickets and auto-assigning.

    This isn’t ideal. We have one person that is in charge of support, and I just need to assign that person as the default assignee. I do see an option to choose the default assignee, but that doesn’t work because the auto-assign is choosing the person with the less tickets.

    I tried to filter the available agent with ‘wpas_find_available_agent and passing a user id as the first param and that isn’t working either.

    In the end I think we’ll come back to this again at a later point in time, but the issue above prevented us from using this for real.

    Hi Nick,

    Weird that wpas_find_available_agent doesn’t work. I’ll check this out. What I did is I added a new constant WPAS_DISABLE_AUTO_ASSIGN. If this constant is defined and is true, then the default agent will be used for all assignments (see 7fb1f52).

    This will be pushed with version 3.1.3 and it should be coming in the upcoming days.

    Hi Julien,
    Any progress on this? I’m having the same problem as Nick. I looked at the code and it’s almost identical to what you have in your example, but it’s still not assigning new tickets to the default assignee. Is there a way to change this, manually or otherwise? It’s important to our client that all tickets go through their administrator before being assigned to individual agents, so I need to find a way to turn off the auto-assign.

    The current code in my file is as follows:

    function wpas_find_agent( $ticket_id = false ) {

    if ( defined( ‘WPAS_DISABLE_AUTO_ASSIGN’ ) && true === WPAS_DISABLE_AUTO_ASSIGN ) {
    return apply_filters( ‘wpas_find_available_agent’, wpas_get_option( ‘assignee_default’ ), $ticket_id );
    }

    So, first of all, you made me realize there was a bug in the agent lookup function. I just fixed that. It’s not related to your problem though.

    I have just ran a lot of tests and using the constant works fine on my side. Could you please try adding it in your wp-config.php file directly as follows:

    define( 'WPAS_DISABLE_AUTO_ASSIGN', true );

    Works like a charm!
