config file location
by Amitai Schlair 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hello! RoundCube places its config files within its directory hierarchy. This is a fine default, but for packages it's important to be able to override the default. Why? Many sysadmins (and packagers, and package systems) expect all binaries and data installed under the root of the package tree to be read-only once they've been installed; think NFS sharing, or package tools throwing warnings on delete/update when files don't match the checksums recorded when they were installed. Config files aren't read-only, and therefore it's important to be able to place them elsewhere if desired (/etc, for instance.) I've patched roundcubemail-0.1.1-dep's main.inc:rcmail_load_config() to inspect the environment and prefix $RCMAIL_CONFIG_DIR if set, rather than "config", when reading the config files. The default behavior remains unchanged, of course! http://netbsd.schmonz.com/patches/roundcube-config-dir.diff To take advantage of the patch, I added "SetEnv RCMAIL_CONFIG_DIR /etc/ roundcube" to the RoundCube section of my Apache config, and placed {db,main}.inc.php in /etc/roundcube where I like them. :-) Sorry this is against an old version, but there's nothing at all clever about the changes so they should be straightforward to bring up to date. The installer would need similar help as well. - Amitai _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Folder collapsing (#1267231)
by Robin Elfrink 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi, I fully implemented collapsing folders. Collapsed/expanded state of a folder is saved in the user's preferences. Please test. I'd like specific feedback on the following: - the structure of the 'string' I use to save the state of collapsed/expanded folders - the place where I save the preferences (now in steps/mail/func.php).

Plugin-Architecture
by Florian Lagg 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Dear Developers! I am using RC in my hosting offers and I want to implement two things: * a kind of plugin-mechanism: It should be possible to "register" some external plugins to events (User login, handling contact data, ...) * a Funambol-Plugin (as seperate open source project): Funambol is a server capable of syncing contacts/calendar items between native Clients (Outlook, Thunderbird), various Devices (many mobile phones, PDA's, ...) and other webmail-applications and groupwares. I talked to A.L.E.C. some days ago because he had plans for the plugin infrastructure. According to his mails he has no time to develop this in the near future and I asked him if I can do the work. He answered it would be ok, so I'll ask you how it should be done: So here are my questions: * How should a plugin-architecture be implemented in RoundCube? Maybe my approach is completely wrong, just tell me if you think so... I'm thinking of a PluginHooks singleton class which is called from various points in the existing source code. This class reads a config file if there is a plugin registered for the specific event. This config contains a line for each event like this: $rcmail_config['pluginevent_userlogin'] = array('Funambol'); //registers a single plugin called "funambol" for the event "userlogin" $rcmail_config['pluginevent_nextEvent'] = array('Funambol', 'AnotherPlugin); //call two plugins in the given order PluginHooks then initates a class Funambol (located in RC_Home/plugins/Funambol) and calls a method pluginevent_userlogin. Because PluginHooks is a singleton, it could provide methods to the plugins to get or manipulate data from the rest of RC. so anything is handled over this class. I hope I discribed it well. Please bring your own ideas if you have better once. * Is anyone interested in teaming up? * Is anyone willing to implement plugins in near future? If so - please talk to me to discuss your requirements to make this project as useful as possible. You can send me a CC so I can answer your mails quicker.

I've submitted a new patch. It now uses a drop-down menu. It also adds a configuration option ("pagejump_dropdown_threshold") which determines the number of pages, over which the drop-down is replaced by a text box (it defaults to 20). If an installation wants to always use the text box, they can set the value of pagejump_dropdown_threshold to zero. If they want to use only drop-downs, they can set the value to something extremely high. -kris -- Kris Steinhoff Web Application Developer Web/DB Team, Information Technology Central Services The University of Michigan --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/ra/bTM7Ja4d/UTF-8_27_27text_bo.png http://detached.gigo.com/rc/ra/bTM7Ja4d/UTF-8_27_27drop-do.png Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Isn't open source great ;-) OK, I think we got a good idea of how it should be implemented. I hope I could code a small prototype this weekend, but I do not guarantee. I will ask the list to test it afterwards.

Extended Search
by Till Krüss 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Roundcube needs as every good mail client does a search feature. The user should be able to search for user-specified criteria in user-specified (sub)folders. The request can take a few secounds, but if you have more than 1 folder, it is annoying to select each folder one by one and re-type your search string every time.

A few patches for LDAP and identities
by Gokdeniz Karadag 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

While I was trying to integrate and customize roundcube to our department's system, I submitted some small patches to trac. I think they will be useful for some setups, the forum and tracker has some requests for these features. 1. The first one presents the "edit identity" screen when the user is recorded in roundcube database for the first time. In our system, the user's name was not correctly pulled from ldap while auto creating, so I added this to send the user to edit identity screen. If users are not auto created, the administrator probably entered correct info in the first place, so depending on auto user creation is reasonable. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1291605#comment:9 This patch is obsoleted by the following patch in our system but it can be useful on other places. Having the user double check the name and email is never bad, and can help catching typos or other errors in the system :) 2. Then for LDAP integration. I modified Gerald Schneider's old patches at the following address. http://www.gerald-online.de/misc/roundcube/ The patch adds a new configuration option, and searches LDAP for user's real name and uses it as identity. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485203 3. This third one is very site-specific IMO. But It has no side effects, so it can be safely included. adds '@' + 'mail_domain' if the e-mail address from LDAP does not include '@' sign. Our emails are of the form "ldap_uid@mail_domain" and there is not a seperate field for e-mail in LDAP, so they are autogenerated by this patch. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485201 -- Gokdeniz Karadag _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
