Changing logout button text in plugin's php file
by Rahul Amaram 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi, I am writing a plugin so that the logout button text changes to "Logout <username>". Currently the way I am doing it is by creating a html span element with content $_SESSION["username"] (using html::span) in .php and then later making this html span element child of logout button in the .js file. However, I would like to know whether it is possible to change the logout button text in the .php file itself? Regards, Rahul.

Roundcube 0.8-beta with new skin ready for testing
by Thomas Bruederli 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hello folks With the just published version 0.8-beta we proudly release the all new user interface design of Roundcube, codename "Larry" out into the wild. It isn't enabled by default but you can easily enable and test the new look by setting $rcmail_config['skin'] = 'larry'; in your local config/main.inc.php file. Many thanks again to our volunteer designer at http://bueroflint.com for the great work! Some plugins may not yet provide templates and styles for the new skin, so expect certain things to appear broken. We hereby kindly invite all plugin developers to adapt their plugins to the new skin. The idea is to run the new skin under the name "larry" until all the plugins with UI components are ready and then rename it to "default" just before releasing 0.8-stable. The current default skin will then be renamed to "legacy" and shall remain in the package for at least one more major release. We'd also like to mention that Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported from this version on. Roundcube itself still works with IE6 but the new skin doesn't and we'll officially drop IE6 support anytime soon. It has just been around for too long... Beside the new UI, this version also contains some bugfixes and improvements (see http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog) as well as some code refactorings. These can potentially break some plugins if they use calls to renamed or refactored functions. Please watch your logs and in case you should notice any errors, please report them to the according plugin developers. We'll come up with a complete list of renamed functions soon but for now you can get it from the following thread on this list: http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2012-01/0000002.html and http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2012-01/0000029.html In addition to the technical and visual changes, starting with this release, Roundcube is now licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3 or later (with exceptions for skins & plugins) as we recently announced on our website: http://roundcube.net/license. Please note that this is a beta release and we recommend to test it in a separate environment. The new skin most likely requires some more CSS hacking until we're ready for the 0.8 stable release. As usual, you are kindly requested to report all problems to our bug tracking system at http://trac.roundcube.net Have fun!

Re: [RCD] Forces behind the Reloads

Could you comlpete it for commercial use? Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Lewis Sent: 03/13/12 10:33 AM To: dev(a)lists.roundcube.net Subject: Re: [RCD] Forces behind the Reloads If you're going to 'program', anything is possible, but you would move off the standard Roundcube build. How's your PHP and Javascript? If you're asking 'is there a settings checkbox that does what you want', then no. I am developing on Roundcube as a base, to have three multi-purpose panes that are more persistent - "contacts/folders", "email list" and "preview/edit", with each pane updating without a page reload. Compose, addressbook and inbox functionality are combined on the same "page". Roundcube is a pretty good base but there's no way this could be done without modifying the main code. The techique is definitely possible but my code is just a personal experiment.

Serious complaints about roundcubeforum.net
by Rosali 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

We have serious complaints about roundcubeforum.net. Please read the message below. I know that Devs are not responsible for the forum in any way, but we all should care about the reputation of the Roundcube Project. ----------------- Dear Dev Team, It is with the hope that something is done in the future to correct what I'll be sharing here today. I do not pretend to criticize something that I'm not familiar with and I just want to share my honest opinion regarding the Forums hosted at roundcubeforums.net for Roundcube Project. In one word, the forum is deterring for the Roundcube Project. While many of you spend countless hours working hard and coding what I believe is the best ajax front-end webmail for the masses out there, there are people not concerned about it and in fact profiting at any cost from your work by hosting a site that it is constantly redirecting users to porn sites, advertisement and anything that could bring a profit to god knows who's pockets. Not only I have experienced this myself but I have also received comments from co-workers and friends who I have enticed them to give Roundcube a try. They have opted for not registering an account due to the great concern that these inconsistencies bring to their peace of mind. Specially, because they consider that open source projects tend to be very careful and strict with the distribution and support of their data. Some have actually asked me if there is the possibility that the Roundcube installation could be either infected or coded to behave similar to their end-users. I'm certainly sure that your work is done with the main propose of delivering a quality product and I can only imagine how much energy you have put into this project over the years. I have no words to thank you enough for your great job and dedication. Please, consider to either get things straight up with the host or the person in charge of your Forum or move it elsewhere to a place in which profits is not the main and sole propose of hosting such site. Since every suggestion in the open source community should be made with a possible solution, I'm open to offer free hosting myself. I have 120GB of space on a shared server with 250GB of monthly bandwidth that I'll put at your disposition. We can have up to 500 subdomains, 50 ftp accounts, 1200 e-mail accounts plus few other things. Alternatively, I can offer my own personal server to host it but I'm concerned about the performance of the board as I have never put any heavy load on my own server before. I can install, manage and run IPB boards myself. I can also make it simpler for others of you to be part of the board administration so you can change things around yourself as needed and I might not have plenty of time to fully dedicate myself to the 24/7 administration position of the board so having a Team working together is obviously the best option. In the mean time, for consideration, I will invite you to visit http://unlockforus.com/forums/ (not active community there at the moment) I'm just offering what I have and it doesn't have to be taken into account. http://roundcubeforum.net has been either compromised and there are exploits running in the site or there are things set up to profit at any cost, even if it jeopardizes the reputation of the project. Not welcome in my opinion. Wish you luck and I look forward to hear from you to at least know that my e-mail was once read and discarded or taken into account. Keep up the outstanding work. -- Yoni

I also saw in Changelog, but haven't nothing about who did what, and questions about translations updates or adds. Exist some place with all contributions and volunteers? How is recognized the efforts of who helps in this project? Bests, Claudio

Contact-centric email
by Ian Lewis 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

In case anyone has any interest or useful comment, I'm working on a personal project to present an additional more 'contact-centric' view of email using Roundcube/Larry as a base. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H8yT_pEawmw/T1yDxEfpwvI/AAAAAAAAACM/iuV9pWESuO4/s… If the user keeps the 'folder view' in the left pane then the behaviour is the same as existing Roundcube, i.e. the list of emails appears in top pane and emails are previewed in the bottom pane. But clicking on a 'contact' gives the view in the screenshot above. It's a personal research experiment and partially implemented so far (the 'mail' view includes tabbed folders/contacts, and selecting a contact populates the 'preview' pane, but I haven't yet implemented the contact-centric view of the email list which I'm assuming should be possible using a pre-canned email search). Nearly all email effort seems to be folder/email/thread based, with 'contact' just an attribute of an email that could be sorted/searched the same as subject or date. 'Contact-centric' email would have 'contact' as a primary object as is an 'email' today, i.e. where you see a reference to one, you can click on it and go to the corresponding item. The contact-centric approach looks like it has some possibilities and if you've read this far and have any interest, particularly if you're aware of related work elsewhere, then my thoughts-so-far are discussed more fully in a blog: http://collabtools.blogspot.com/ Cheers Ian

file names with final '.inc'
by Claudio Filho 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Hi A newbie(?) question: is correct use ".inc" at final of files for php? I saw some pages and tried in my server this question. I found it inside a thread copied bellow.

Is it wrong to do that? ..php (by default) is the normal extension for files. ..inc was (/ still is?) used normally for files being used in include() or require() calls that reside on a remote server. Including a .php file from a remote server causes problems as it's retrieved as a parsed file, so you only retrieve the HTML output, rather than the PHP code you really want. As .inc isn't normally assigned in the server configuration, this will normally return as a text/plain file, meaning that all the PHP code is available when included. I've never needed to use .inc files personally for remote retrieval, some seemed to use it in the earlier days for files include()d regardles of them being local or remote.. personally I prefer .php wherever I can to prevent accidental viewing of code. Regards, Ian
