|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Pro Tips
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start Conservative:** Use default settings first, then adjust based on your ticket volume
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Monitor Logs:** Watch for "Auto-close enabled" and "Reminders enabled" on startup
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Test in Staging:** Test auto-close with a low hour value first (e.g., 1 hour)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Backup data:** Back up MongoDB if migrating or changing schema
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Customize Gradually:** Change one setting at a time to see the impact
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Use Placeholders:** `{staff_name}` in claim message, `{hours}` in reminder message
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Auto-close not working?**
|
||||
- Check `AUTO_CLOSE_ENABLED=true` in .env
|
||||
- Verify console shows "Auto-close enabled" on startup
|
||||
- Check `last_activity` in database is being set
|
||||
|
||||
**Reminders not sent?**
|
||||
- Check `REMINDER_ENABLED=true` in .env
|
||||
- Verify console shows "Reminders enabled" on startup
|
||||
- Ensure `last_activity` is older than REMINDER_AFTER_HOURS
|
||||
|
||||
**Ticket limit not enforced?**
|
||||
- Check `GLOBAL_TICKET_LIMIT` is set and > 0
|
||||
- Verify function `checkTicketLimits()` is being called
|
||||
- Check logs for "Ticket limit reached" messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Colors not changing?**
|
||||
- Use hex format: `0x00FF00` (not `#00FF00`)
|
||||
- Restart bot after changing .env
|
||||
- Check for typos in variable names
|
||||
|
||||
**Buttons not customized?**
|
||||
- Restart bot after .env changes
|
||||
- Check emoji format (unicode or custom emoji ID)
|
||||
- Verify button variables start with `BUTTON_`
|
||||
|
||||
