Re: New addressbook backend (and sorting problem)

Hi,

> Can you display it as three different address books?
>
> Personal, Shared, Global.

The problem would be mostly the same, the sorting would be mixing up the
contacts originating from different folders. Let me give a few example
nicks that could appear in this backend:

apersonalcontact
someothercontact
user/annasecretary/companyxyz
user/peterboss/sales
user/peterboss/marketing
shared/ITAdministrators/somecontact
shared/ITDepartment/somecontact

(Note that the "user/" and "shared/" prefixes can be changed by a setting
should the need arise.)

So basically this would mean that I'd somehow need to find a way to
spawn/emulate an addressbook on the fly for each "prefix/source" pair to
get the sorting right. And things will prolly start to get messy for the
users aswell. Example: To create an entry in say..
"shared/BrandNewSharedFolder/..." they'd need to tell Squirrel to actually
create it in an existing (selectable) addressbook, only to have it appear
under a new different addressbook once it's read in. A tad confusing to
the enduser I think.

call folder 'a group' and patch squirrelmail address book backends to
support groups. 6th field in file based backend, group field in db
backend, ou attribute in ldap backend.

Soon I'll send the updated (for version 1.4.4) patched, as the plugin
contains a patch which is almost a year old.

Hopefully I'll upload today my LDAP based personal Address Book, so it
may also help for PAB developers ;)

Bye,

That sounds like a good allround solution. I'll see if I can change the
Addressbook class to support an optional group field in its sorting.

Hmm, ok. I'll just have the hook function throw out every localbackend if
the user enabled a certain plugin option.

Great.

Thanks for all the hints.

patch to control if empty subjects should be allowed

Hi,

I'm new at this, so please bear with me :)

My company has been running squirrelmail for some time now and we
made some small mods that may be useful. Here's one that will give
you control over whether or not to allow empty subject lines. I made
it because my users were beginning to act like hotmail users :) I
made the default to not accept empty subjects, but that's of course
open for discussion.

The diff is attached, hope that's ok.

[Fwd: bug causes wrong messages to be deleted]

Can anyone confirm this?

It is hard to believe that no one cares about a bug that deletes messages
the user didn't select.

---------------------------- Original Message ----------------------------
Subject: [SM-DEVEL] bug causes wrong messages to be deleted
From:    "Nick" <newsgroups <at> 2thebatcave.com>
Date:    Thu, March 24, 2005 7:06 am

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears I have found a bug.

When I am in a folder that has multiple pages of messages, and sort by the
'From' field, and go to a page greater than 1, messages that I try to
delete do not always get deleted, and sometimes they delete the wrong
messages.

I tried a test case with a new folder, and noticed the same results.

To reproduce you can create a folder with multiple pages, go to a page
other than one, sort by from, and then try to delete a message on that
page.

Note that sometimes the message does get deleted (this may just be when it
is the last message), but most of the time it does not.

I know that sometimes messages that were not selected can be deleted,
because I had a folder with 70 pages, and when I selected an entire page

Please use diff -u.  Also, this can be done as a plugin.  Read 
doc/plugin.txt and we'll be very happy to host the plugin when you're 
finished!

Thanks much!

This is completely off topic, but do sf mailinglists normally
replace single quotes with double ones? That's what it did in the
online archive, imo it is /weird/

If someone should decide to use the patch in squirrelmail, please
let me know, I'll mail it directly (with correct quoting :)

I will have a look at it in a few days. Glad I can make a
contribution! :)
