Request for Unknown helpdesk ticket system

Submitted by captlogic on September 19, 2007 - 1:10pm

I'm not posting this to the requested apps section, because I don't have a specific appliction name.

What I'm wondering, does anyone know of an open source, help desk ticketing system?

I'd love to take on the 'programming/conversion' task of converting to a portable application. I've found several freeware applications but they all seem to require a web server. I know you could 'probably' setup one of these to work with xampp, but I was hoping for a more self-contained solution.

Is it possible for Seamonkey 2.0 to be made portable?

Submitted by Trel on September 19, 2007 - 10:59am

Since from what I understand, it'll be based on the same backend as firefox, is it concievable that it could be made portable? Actually, with the alpha version as it is now, is it able to be made portable?

(I realize the seamonkey question has come up a number of times, but I also saw that most topic that asked about the Suiterunner the topic kinda died there before an answer was given.)

Offline Browsing - Saving web pages

Submitted by StephenQ on September 19, 2007 - 5:49am

Hey there,
Does anyone know how i can save a website as html + all images + flash etc into a folder to go along with it?
IE6 had an 'offline favorite' option to save websites a certain amount of links deep. I want to do this but not as a favorite, and with multiple links deep.
Any tools to do this seem to have their own cache for it, and i just want a standalone folder with the files in it.
Anyone have an idea of how to do this?

PA launched as a novell script

Submitted by phalkon30 on September 18, 2007 - 6:38pm

My school has a student drive that is unique to each student where we can securely place files. I installed portable apps on my student drive, installed the programs I wanted, and it works awesome.

For anybody out there that has access to a mapped drive and uses novell to login, here's a little trick I figured out. You can have novell launch portableapps upon login, so you don't have to browse around for it every time you login, and you don't have to carry around a flash drive.
