PHP (which Roundcube is written in) is usually distributed in source form. It makes little sense to have LGPL PHP code.

Re: [RCD] login into 2 accounts with out logging out the first

I don't think an additional ID is going to make multiple session cookies work. Lets say you have two session cookies. In each tab of your browser, both cookies are available, and so when you make a request to the roundcube server, the server won't know which session to serve. To make multiple cookies work you'd have to ask the user on each request which session to use, which is not a reasonable user experience. The other way to make this work is to make each session cookie available only to a specific tab, and this is what using private browsing mode/using different browsers achieves.

I think there is no straightforward, secure way of doing this. This is not specific to roundcube, but applies to any website that uses browser cookies to keep track of user sessions (pretty much any website that lets you log in). There's no way to allow multiple sessions per browser because the same cookies are available throughout all tabs of the browser. The only workarounds are to use multiple browsers or private browsing modes, which allows different sets of cookies to be used in different tabs/browsers.

could also use diff browsers, but really these are work arounds-- how can we do this in roundcube config... in addition to myself others request it-- On Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:21:21 -0500, S c o t t K r a m e r wrote: could also use diff browsers, but really these are work arounds-- how can we do this in roundcube config... in addition to myself others request it-- On Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:01:17 -0500, Alex Leigh wrote: If your browser support private browsing mode (incognito window in Chrome, etc), open a new tab in the private mode will allow you to log in a second account in that tab.

I use two different domain names to achieve that: http://mail.mydomain.com/ [2] and http://mail2.mydomain.com/ [3] But a config setting would be great… _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/ [4] Links: ------ [1] mailto:me@djib.fr [2] http://mail.mydomain.com/ [3] http://mail2.mydomain.com/ [4] http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/ _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

dkimverified plugin
by Julien Vehent 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hello Roundcube folks, I made a quick modification of Vladimir Mach's DKIM plugin to use it with SpamAssassin. It's available here: http://jve.linuxwall.info/blog/index.php?pages/DKIM-VERIFIED-plugin-for-Rou… I'm using it with Roundcube 0.3.1 without any problem so far.

Folder name abbreviation in folder list
by White 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Dear folks, I want to share my thoughts about the folder name abbreviation in the folder list. I am new out here, so bear with me. I really dislike the abbreviation of folder names. I also don't understand why abbreviation is necessary. I can understand the abbreviation if the folder list has a fixed width. But since you can move the splitter at your convenience to show more of the folder names, I don't see why the folder names are abbreviated. Could it be a remnant of the past? If I understand the information from http://trac.roundcube.net/ correctly the abbreviation was added as early as changeset 38 in October 2005. The vertical splitter seems to be added with changeset 1766 in September 2008. Doesn't the vertical splitter make abbreviation unnecessary? 1) I suggest to remove the abbreviation of folder names in the folder list. At least make it optional for people who really dislike it (like me). Looking at the tracker site I noticed some things I want to share also. 2) Changeset 1792 increased the maximum length of folder names in the folder list from 16 to 25. But only for "Message mode" (when an e-mail was opened)! When you go back to the message list you will see the folder names get shortened! It seems like it was forgotten to change the maximum length in skins\default\templates\mail.html also. 3) The abbreviation routine "abbreviate_string" seems to be added as early as changeset 37. The used algorithm has not changed since then but it is totally bogus! The function does not shorten the string in the exact middle and the function makes the string two characters longer than the allowed maximum length! The algorithm would only work if the place holder for the removed part is only one character. I suggest to change the function into something like this (untested!): function abbreviate_string($str, $maxlength, $place_holder='...') { $length = mb_strlen($str); if ($length > $maxlength) { $place_holder_length = mb_strlen($place_holder); $first_part_length = floor(($maxlength - $place_holder_length) / 2); $second_starting_location = $length - $maxlength + $first_part_length + $place_holder_length; $str = mb_substr($str, 0, $first_part_length) . $place_holder . mb_substr($str, $second_starting_location); } return $str; } I also wonder if the place holder "..." is a candidate for localization. Thanks for your attention. White _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Chrome quirks in defaul theme
by Andres Sulleiro 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi all, I searched the tickets but didn't see this anywhere so I thought I bring it up. Using RC 0.3.1 and Google Chrome 4.0.249.43 there are a couple display bugs I've noticed. 1. When first loading the login screen the gray background doesn't paint the entire widow. But if I adjust the window size, it seems to correct itself. 2. In the compose view (and reply/forward), the main text area for the body of the email doesn't extend to the bottom of the window, as it would in other browsers. I know, not huge defects, but given that Chrome now has stepped up to third place in the browser wars (bypassing Safari for the first time) I figured it would be worth looking into. I'm attaching screenshots for both of these. // Andres. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Hx/ke4YtPdX/chrome_compose.jpg http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Hx/ke4YtPdX/chrome_login.jpg Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
