I have been asked to add department names into the results generated by
searches and autocompletion against our LDAP directory.
This solves problems with common names: I am one of at least four people
named "David Carter" in the University.
The following hack solves our requirement: it generates results of the
form "David Carter [University Computing Service] dpc22@cam.ac.uk". The
"[]" part gets stripped out by the onclick handler for autocompletion.
It is however playing games with strings passed from rcube_addressbook.php
to app.js.src and relies on the fact that our directory never generates
entries which contain '[' or ']' characters. The correct solution would be
to pass objects around instead. If I had a go at the correct approach
would there be any interest in merging the change upstream?
