Hi users,
I've enjoyed using roundcube for over a year now, and it's been a great tool. If you're like me, with 1000+ contacts, adding contacts manually to an address book was not something I was up for.
So here's a quick patch I've made, to handle .csv uploads, and adding contacts to the database
*This patch is based on 0.1rc1 not the newer 0.2 version (released Nov/07). I cannot guarantee it'll work on the new version.*
The patch creates a new directory csv_upload in the root of the RC installation - I know this is not common practice, but it makes updating the rest of the program much easier.
I noticed a recent post on here for uploading .csv files server-side and doing one-off address book updates, but here's a glorified version, which will do the following:
- Handles file upload
- Checks columns for correct data
- Adds NEW contacts to the database
- Old (already inserted) contacts are ignored
- Interface is all via one additional link on the 'address book' page
Todo:
- Use RC-approved methods of including files
- Change add-on's folder structure
- Secure the uploading of .csv files. Temp files are currently held
one at a time, at $_server_root/imported.csv
- Link to the uploading interface via one of the buttons, as opposed
to a static link
