Thread: [Update] Squirrelmail usercopy - database support

thanks for this

i think many users need this to port users from old unstylish Squirrelmail to great RoundCube !!!

You're welcome.

Hopefully someone will review and test my work and commit it to svn.

I am just about to migrate thousands of accounts from Squirrelmail to Roundcube and did some testing with the script.
It works fine with RC 0.4b after removing line 122 from the script. The field "note" no longer exists in RC.

The note field is missing due to very limited adressbook of RC.

I use this extended addressbook patch:
#1486377 (extended addressbook patch) ? Roundcube Webmail

Also an updated version of the squirrelmail_usercopy is at:
#1486517 (squirrelmail_usercopy plugin - multiple identity and Database support) ? Roundcube Webmail

erm... quite inconsistent! Would be nice to know whether an extended address book will find it's way into official releases of Roundcube or not. I'd like to have more fields, you can leave them empty if unused. And when one knows about the extended address book the squirrelmail_usercopy-plugin could easily be adopted. The current state is neither fish nor fowl.

I'm quite sure an extended address book will find it's way. The question is when and which.

See the Roadmap ? Roundcube Webmail.

I would very much like the RC to at least have identical addressbook with squirrelmail by 0.4-stable. Further extension can wait until 0.5 or later.

I just want to be sure to not have to edit the code of an existing plugin (here: squirrelmail_usercopy) to get it to work with whatever version of RC we use. Setting the correct variables in the according config file must do the job right.
The current version of squirrelmail_usercopy does not run out of the box ...

Good point. Please put your comments on this issue in the bugreport.
#1486517 (squirrelmail_usercopy plugin - multiple identity and Database support) ? Roundcube Webmail

Hopefully the squirrelmail_usercopy update will be ready for 0.4-stable.

Edit: Actually looking at the code, the squirrelmail plugin should work even if not using an extended addressbook. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test it at the moment.

A better address book should be part of RoundCube 0.5 beta as part of the "VCard data for rich contact information".
