Thread: Admin page for Roundcube and WYSIWYG

Now here some more info on what features i would like to see in the admin page:

• Adding mail accounts
• User management
• Set global settings like 30 posts per page or something
• Set database type and information (like mysql, mysqli, postgresql, sqlite etc)
• option to enable a registration form on the main page (so i also miss a registration form)

Roundcube is a Webmail client not a complete Control Panel system... (Do you see there options within Horder for e.g. )

there is alot more.. but these are the basic ones
Good luck and once this script is finally in version 1.0 it will most likely be THE replacement for horde and those types of clients because they have a poor user interface.. (yes the interface does mather if the script wants to be a success)

Thanx.

Horde is also working on a new client with AJAX its called DIMP, take a look....
( http://janschneider.de/news/25/252 & http://www.horde.org/dimp/ )

Roundcube will win the battle because it's a very fast webmail client, but it will only
stay quick without the things that aren't supposed to be on a webmail client.

Greetz,

I agree. RC does not need an Admin Panel. It is the simplicity of the entire system which is nice. Anyway, RC wouldn't be able to setup account as there are thousand of different ways to create an account depending on mailserver and environement.
For example: Plesk and Courier IMAP / Qmail use a MySQL Database to manage the accounts.
You can also let Qmail and Courier use your local Linux accounts etc.

i saw some shots of dimp and this MUST get in roundedcube if you ask me
(the rightmouse click thing)

yes, rightclick would be nice.

I'm with the topic creator in regards to an Admin Page being a nice feature. I wouldn't need it to create the actual accounts on the mail server, but a separate page for creating the users inside of the MySQL database would be a plus. Also, modifying settings in some of the files like db.inc.php and main.inc.php and that type of deal would be pretty handy.

If this was added I definitely think it should be on separate pages rather than being accessed as another area within the main RC client. Those that wanted to use it could...those that didn't could just ignore it.

As far as WYSIWYG goes I'm indifferent. If I had a lot of email users I could see it being a common request from certain people, but since I don't it doesn't really affect me much one way or the other.

Again, read this on the main RC page:
"RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. "
If you want to create users, use a 3d party script...

I can't think of a single reason I would need/use an admin page in any webmail client. I think the direction that RC is going is the best one.

If you need to add users to your mail server then log in to the mail server and add them...

As far as WYSIWYG goes, see:

I too think that RC does what it does well and should work to do even better at it.

With that said, I would at least like a nice seperate admin interface that carried the "look and feel" of RoundCube.

:-P Anyone interested in a project/plugin for administration of diff IMAP backends using an AJAX app that looks and feels like RC?

:-D
