Threaded message listing implementation
by Chris January 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello, I have written an implementation of message threading for RoundCube. You can find it here: http://www.atomice.com/blog/?page_id=34 I have split it into a number of separate patches to make it easier to apply. The patches are against yesterday's SVN trunk. I hope it can be committed, but I appreciate a few things may need tweaking first. Please review it.

reduce network requests by consolidating icon images
by Nathan Kinkade 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

I've been spending a lot of time in Firebug with RoundCube the past few weeks. One thing I've noticed is that there are quite a lot of network requests to freshly load the front page. With the default theme there are around 45 separate requests for a little less than 250K. I was asking myself how to reduce the number of requests and was reminded of something interesting that I had noticed Gmail doing, and that is to consolidate many icons into a single image and then use CSS to position the image as the background of a fixed width/height block-level element. As I went to implement this, I began to realize that not only does this approach reduce the number of network requests, but it also seems to simplify the code a bit. With this method the code doesn't have to worry at all about images or file names, but becomes somewhat image-agnostic by only specifying the *type* of behavior it would like to see in a given location. How that bahavior is implemented then becomes a simple matter of CSS. Here is the consolidated image with not all but most of the usual icons: https://natha.nkinka.de/devmail/skins/default/images/icons/rc_icons.png And here are the patches to implement this: http://code.nkinka.de/gitweb?p=roundcube.git;a=commitdiff;h=84a7acd0f42e3c3… I found that doing this reduced the number of requests on a clean load of the main mailbox view from 45 to 35, which is fairly significant. It does add about 5K to the page size because it brings along a number of unneeded icons for that page. 10 less requests may not be perceptible for many people running on a fast machine with broadband Internet to a server that isn't very loaded. However, for a busy machine, perhaps an installation of RoundCube serving webmail for a university, for example, 10 less requests per fresh page load could make a noticeable difference. 10 less requests will probably also make a noticeable difference for those on a high latency connection, where 5K extra is less of a problem than 10 more network requests. I have no idea whether this is of any use or interest to anyone else, but I thought I'd share my experiment with the list.

Testing with MySQL I found it's very slow to cache the threads and was faster simply calling IMAP THREADS again each time.

Plugin API - the next steps
by Thomas Bruederli 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi devs and list lurkers The plugin API is making good progress and I really have fun when developing some sample plugins. I think that we'll be ready soon to merge the development branch back into trunk and publish a new beta with the plugin API. I kindly ask you to try out the current branch (devel-api) and find out what you can do with it. There's a basic description about how to write and install plugins at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Doc_Plugins. There are only a few hooks implemented so far (http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_Hooks) and you're welcome to share your needs for further hooks with us. Have fun and let us know what you think or what's missing. Thomas _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Hi, I've made some amendments to the Portuguese (Standard) dictionary. Also, I'd like to recommend renaming Portuguese (Standard) to either, in order of preference: 1. Portuguese 2.

Small patch to make fix bug resulting from Chris January's threading patches
by Nathan Kinkade 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Relative to the threading patches, a small bug was discovered as a result of the differences in the way a given message list <tr> was constructed in a message list. This difference was causing the subjects of selected and dragged messages to not display in the generated <div> that follows the mouse pointer while the messages are being dragged. Upon inspection, I found that the code for making this happen wasn't very robust in terms of even very slight changes to the structure of a given <td> within each message row. Here is a proposed patch that I believe rather simplifies it and should also make it tolerant of changes to the structure of reach <tr> and <td> in a message list, for example, as occurred with the threading patches. If follows this basic logic, which I believe should be fairly safe (unless some browser doesn't support node.textContent): 1) Is obj.childNodes[i].nodeName = 'TD' 2) AND is obj.childNodes[i].className = 'subject' 3) At this point I'm satisfied we're looking at the subject <td>, so just grab every bit of text contained within it. http://code.nkinka.de/gitweb?p=roundcube.git;a=commitdiff;h=89320766d84786d… Nathan _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

__autoload-Function
by Eduard Krieger 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi, i track the developing of Roundcube. In the moment i study the code of drupal and found a function i never knew before: spl_autoload_register. This Page in German explains the usage of this function very well: http://aktuell.de.selfhtml.org/weblog/php-autoload However, some time ago i saw that Thomas has to move some includes forward for making some plugins to work with some plugins, but can't find it right now. Maybe wrong reminder. However, since Roundcube uses Classes, this functions seems to fit well in Roundcube. All the Requires and Includes could be removed and the Includes would only happen then when they are really needed. Any thoughts? BTW: Have you plans when to merge the different dev-trees to the main-trunk? Best Regards Eduard _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

contect menu plugin
by Phil Weir 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi, I have been experimenting with the devel_api branch, turning my patches into plugins mostly; I thought I would try making a context menu for the message list. At the moment there are 2 problems that I can see and I was wondering if any one had any suggestions… I have tried to make the context menu take as much of its look from the skin as possible but I am not certain how well it will play with anything other than the default skin. A more serious problem is the attachment of the event listener to the rows in the message table. I can do it no problem when the page loads but I can’t find a way to do with when switching between folders or when a new message arrives. Thanks very much, Phil Ps. So far I have tested it in FF3, Safari, IE6+7 all on window and it works fine, it wont work in Opera since JavaScript right click stuff is disabled by default. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Vc/eizvgS9y/contextmenu.tar.gz Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
