Can I say that you are one of the best programmers I've seen around! You're making Roundcube into one of the best e-mail systems around and I really like your signup mod and I'm really really excited about your admin panel! God I need one! LOL! ;D Cant wait for it! *gets giddy* ;D

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement and for visiting the site!

The admin section and install script is finished.
Tomorow I will install roundcube beta2, backup database and do a fresh install of the signup and admin using the install script and test all functions.

Once any bugs have been fixed, it will be ready for release.

Very interesting. Thank you for this great module.

I have a request and willing to pay for this (on behalf of everyone
else interested, call me the sponsor if you wish).

Can you have this integrated into vbulletin 3.6? Basically,
a vbulletin hack that asks in registration form if user wishes
to create an email or not. If they click yes, it will show the required
fields (sort of opens up ajax style per se) and bingo, auto vbulletin
account creation as usual plus auto email creation if requested.

:) Thanks again.

I can't see vbulletin integration being a problem.

Doing final testing and ironing out some bugs, should be available some time tomorow then I will look into the vbulletin integration.

I've just finished testing the install script and admin functions on beta2.
I'm pleased to say all is working well here after ironing out a few bugs.

I'm going to get a cup of tea and then write out INSTALL.txt and README.txt then release Version 2.0 Beta1

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but final checks reveled a possible security threat whereby users without admin access could may be able to access the admin panel.

Therefore there will be a hopefully short delay in release while this is investigated and fixed.

Thanks for your patience.

Fixed the posible security issue. The admin section now uses double authentication and encryption.

Release V2.0 Beta 1......
Some minor bug fixes ('Back' links added to some pages and CPanel skin set in db.inc.php to name 2)

There is also an install script bundled with V2.0
This should ease setup.
Run the install script, enter your details and hit 'Install'.
This will then create db.inc.php for you with all your details and optionally create the database tables needed.
The install script will also create a 'default' admin email account which you can then use to login to RoundCube and then enter the Admin area. (Please make sure that the default admin address you specify is not taken and enter username only ie. everything before the '@')

As with the previous release users are able to signup and recover lost passwords.
On signup the user is sent a welcome email to their newly created email address and the alternate address that they specified at signup.




Admin are also notified that a new account has been created.


Password Recover Email


(Details are automatically generated from information given on install and user details given)


The Admin Panel is only accessable to those users who have been given admin rights.
If a user has rights they will see and extra link 'Admin'. If they do not have rights they will see no link.
To prevent anyone trying to just go to the admin landing page, the landing page itself will also authenticate the user again and check they have admin rights before allowing them access.



From here admins can control individual accounts with....
Create accounts
Delete accounts
Change quota
Send password
Change password
Give/Take admin rights
Some user information is also given (email, current quota, name, alternate email, date account was created, IP at account creation)

Whenever a user is given/taken admin rights both the address set for admin notification at install and the user are emailed. This is to help keep track of other admins giving admin rights.



I think that about sums it all up or at least I hope, it took me nearly as long to write this post!!

I hope that the bugs are gone and installation and use will be trouble free, of course I cannot guarantee it!

Please test this out and let me know your suggestions, ideas, comments (good or bad) and if there are any problems with installation or use just post your problem and I will resolve the issue as soon as is possible.

Have fun and thank you for everyones support and patience.

ive noticed a few bugs!!!

1) In Firefox when I change my own quota afterwards it says im not authorised to view the admin area until i re-sign in.
2) pngbehaviour.htc cant be found when i access it via IE and the administation icon is massive. Theres also a blue border around add account aswell. it also cant fit in the headers for the table. like account created etc.
3) In IE it seems to think some of the skin files are in the emsu folder as my servers error log says:

[Fri Sep 1 14:24:04 2006] [error] [client 213.78.117.219] File does not exist: /home/simplist/public_html/email/emsu/admin/skins/default/pngbehavior.htc

Ill post more if i find any.

This is going to come in really useful for me. When designing and setting up websites for clients I was going to have to face the fact that I'd have to set up as many email accounts as they needed. Now I can let them do this themselves!
