Hello,

Here are the changes I would like to propose to the address book:

1. Have an address book factory Class which will return the list of

address

books ( for column that appears with ldap ) 2. Create an interface class for working with address book - Each Address Book class will have a method to report it's capability ( predictive

text,

list, search etc... ) 3. The factory will load the correct class for called address book, and return the object.

Roundcube will work with the interface defined by the interface class.

These are the changes I would like to perform to the address book and

they

will not be PHP4 compatible.

What do you guys think?

Hey,

The goal is to make a fully pluggable address book. So that if I want to use something other than LDAP or the native roundcube address book, I can quickly integrate a new address book using the interface I want to make.

So to the end user, there won't be any changes. But it'll open up the address book to easier development of third party address books.

Hey David,

this sounds all good. PHP4 is of no concern anymore. Though 0.1.1 bugfix release will likely support it, the rest of RoundCube will move to PHP5. I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, so if you don't feel like doing it anyway, maybe send some class skeletons to the list. I am sure though this is heading in the right direction!

Thanks, Till

Sounds good to me then. :) And thanks for your elaboration! (is that even a noun)
