Attached is a patch to RoundCube 0.3.1 modify the LDAP search behavior in the address book. The patch has been tested with Cyrus IMAP.
The patch consists of two independent parts.
- Wildcard searches
PROBLEM Currently, there is no way to do a wildcard search. For example, neither "j smith" nor "j*smith" performs wildcard searches, rather they search for names containing a space or an asterisk.
SOLUTION The patch treats "j smith" as a wildcard search. It substitutes all spaces for asterisks that LDAP then interprets as the wildcard character.
CONFIG This config parameter 'ldap_blank_as_wildcard' turns this behavior on; thus this patch does not change the default behavior.
- Intitial LDAP search
PROBLEM When an LDAP address book is configured in main.inc.php and the user first selects it - before they even enter a search string - a number of seemingly random addresses are displayed, which typically are useless to the user.
SOLUTION Suppress searches with empty search strings.
CONFIG This patch changes the default behavior - the new default is to NOT do empty LDAP searches. Set 'ldap_allow_search_all' to TRUE to reproduce the original default behavior.
Thanks. Hope this is useful.
