Thread: Download folder messages as zip/tar plugin

The extra 2 bytes at the start of the file sound like they could be a UTF8 BOM. Most likely its in the localisation file. Could you check please your selected localisation files for the core and for any plugins you have active and make sure none of them have either a UTF8 BOM at the start or a blank line at the end.

Hi,

I reedited the array of plugins used by my version of RC and now zipdownload plugin works just fine

Now I have another problem. When I tried to download an entire folder (by selecting "Download folder" from the context menu displayed on the left bottom corner of the page), that "archive.zip" that was created contains ONLY the messages that was displayed on the current page NOT ALL the messages that that folder contains(as I expected). This works just like selecting all messages from the current current page and then archive them. Was I wrong somewhere in the settings? (I set the variable $rcmail_config['zipdownload_folder'] = true into the config.inc.php);
Thank you.

thats a bug, its been fixed in the repo.

Now all is fine.
Thanks.

Hi JohnDoh,

are there any plans to extend the plugin by an upload feature:

- Upload zip
- unzip
- finally move to appropriate folder

Hi Rosali,

I don't have any plans to do that at the moment, TBH I never even thought about it until you said. I'm not sure if it would be better to extend zipdownload or to make a seperate "message importing" plugin.

It would be a nice feature to have, I backup my emails using zipdownload it would be nice to be able to import easily if needed.

I would make a separate plugin. I asked for this feature for the same reason than skaero.

JohnDoh, are you going to do the job?

Sure, I'll see what I can do.
