[0.1 stable] - Display IMAP username

[btcentral]

I don't know about you, but I used to like this modification that allowed you to display the current user when you logged in.

So, I tried what they said again for 0.1 stable (I'd previously been using SVN releases) and noticed it didn't work properly. First of all the CSS wasn't working, and secondly some buttons that shouldn't be greyed-out were, javascript functionality was broken, etc.

So I played around with the code for a bit. And got it working again... here's what you need to do.



1. Open program/include/main.inc and search for 'username' => 'rcmail_current_username',

You should see:

 // register common UI objects
 $OUTPUT->add_handlers(array(
  'loginform' => 'rcmail_login_form',
  'username' => 'rcmail_current_username',
  'message' => 'rcmail_message_container',
  'charsetselector' => 'rcmail_charset_selector',
 ));

Change it to this:

 // register common UI objects
 $OUTPUT->add_handlers(array(
  'loginform' => 'rcmail_login_form',
  'username' => 'rcmail_current_username',
  'userdisplay' => 'rcmail_user_display',
  'message' => 'rcmail_message_container',
  'charsetselector' => 'rcmail_charset_selector',
 ));

2. Scroll to the bottom of the same file and find ?>

Above it add:

/***** display user information *****/

function rcmail_user_display($attrib)
 {
 if (!$attrib['id'])
  $attrib['id'] = 'rcmuserdisplay';

 // allow the following attributes to be added to the <span> tag
 $attrib_str = create_attrib_string($attrib, array('style', 'class', 'id'));

 $out = '<span' . $attrib_str . '>';
 $out .= '<b>User:</b>&nbsp;';
 $out .= $_SESSION['username'];
 $out .= '</span>';
 return $out;
}

3. Edit skins/default/common.css, search for #taskbar

Above it, add:

.mailuser
{
 position: absolute;
 top: 12px;
 left: 200px;
 height: 8px;
 width: 120px;
 color: #333333;
 text-decoration: none;
 font-size: 10px;
 font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 z-index: 10;
}

4. Open skins/default/includes/taskbar.html, and add at the top of the file:

<div id="mailuser">
<roundcube:object name="userdisplay" class="mailuser" />
</div>

That's all folks.

Enjoy,

Thats a very nice mod and it works perfectly, this kind of thing should be included in releases by default, because you see this kind of thing in GMail and Yahoo and Hotmail... So why not roundcube?

Thanks.

Hi.
Nice mod, works just fine.
It would be even more fun if the text "User" followed the selected language.
Would be in program/localization/labeles.inc i think.
Yes, a lot off file to edit if You want all languages.
I made i even more simple, I removed the "User:" text.......

Have a nice day

That's pretty awesome. Unfortunately it only shows IMAP User name. And that is something like web1p*. Nonetheless nice plugin.

[softdel]

Ahh, yeah I noticed that... But none the less it works fine, you dont really need the "User:" but anyway...

i get the foll error :

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rcmail_user_display() (previously declared in /home/clubturz/public_html/email/program/include/main.inc:1642) in /home/clubturz/public_html/email/program/include/main.inc on line 1987

Yeah, that's the easiest way to do it, at the end of the day this is a pretty "quick n' dirty" hack, if the developers were to end up implementing the feature, then obviously it would be worth their trouble to translate the tag, for now simply remove it, or change it yourself.

Ouch, that's a shame. I guess the IMAP server my host provides uses the username@domain.com as the IMAP username format. This will obviously vary for different IMAP servers/configurations - I've changed the topic title to reflect this change.

I prefer this version of the mod since it works better for me. The one that starts this thread is good but on my layout (which is standard) it puts the User: xxxx@yyyy beneath the RoundCube logo. Must be something weird in the css code.
