1. Introduction Zammad is an open-source, web-based helpdesk/ticketing system written in Ruby on Rails. Unlike many monolithic helpdesks, Zammad is designed for extensibility. Its plugin system allows developers and system administrators to modify behavior, add features, integrate with third-party services, and override core functionality without altering the core codebase.
Run plugin tests:
test 'custom method works' do ticket = Ticket.first assert_equal "Extended #ticket.number", ticket.custom_method end end zammad plugins
cd /opt/zammad bundle exec rails db:migrate:plugins In lib/core_extensions/ticket_patch.rb : 1. Introduction Zammad is an open-source
