What I want to do is have RoundCube sync with my custom PHP application also hosted on the same server. Both have separate MySQL databases, but are on the same local machine. I was curious if anyone had found a way to transfer contacts from one database to the other. I am hosted on Dreamhost, so I do have the ability to run cron jobs, say every hour or so.
The question is - do you want to sync in one way or both ways? If it's just Roundcube -> CRM or CRM -> Roundcube this can be done quite easily by using mysqldump, mysql and some Shell or Perl scripting. But if you want to really sync the data that is much more complicated and involves a lot of custom code.
But it's open source and if both use MySQL it should be quite simple to code.
On a related note, are there any other fields being added to the contact form in roundcube? It isn't very important as my application sync's with my users address book (on OSX) with all of the details they need.
Not yet, but this is a feature I would also like to see, maybe just ~5 text-fields that can be named in the config.
