admin cp plugin idea

(1/5) > >>

igeoffi:
im thinking of coding an admin cp for roundcube but im not sure if its gonna go well

backend:
what you do is you create the user/pass in cpanel
then you go to the admin cp and you add the user, the IMAP pass, and then a login pass
in the admin cp side you will be able to get a user list and mass mail to your users

frontend:
upon the first login, the new user must change their password and create/answer a secret question
in the preferences area, there will be a new tab to change pass and your secret question

login:
forgot your pass feature with secret question/answer verification

how this will allow users to change pass:
you never change the pass you made in cpanel
you only change the login pass

so flame on :D
cuz im sure someone is gonna flame

No! Why should RC manage users passwords? The passwords are managed by Plesk / cPanel.

The important thing is simplicity! The only thing what would be nice is a configurator with whom you can configure main.inc.php and db.inc.php.

As far as I know, Brett was working on it.

im using this for a public high school email system so it does need a forgot your pass
(teachers are really forgetful at times)

Well they are able. Via Plesk or cPanel. There is no way to change a PW via an IMAP Command. Or have you ever seen a eMail client which can do this?

No dude!
its truly pointless... although i would stop you..
but you see i loved roundcube so very much cuz it has that unique essense of simplicity and a crystal clear clean and appealing interface.
so trying to expand a project doesnt work by creating complications.
passwords can be managed by any website contol panel like cpanel (as flosoft mentioned) so its truly really not necessary.

Take for example, a forum script.
Now theres so much that a forum script can have.
Different scripts have different features.
Not one can have them all.
But each has something unique and thats what matters.
So many requests for forum features are turned down even if they are very good suggestions.
Then mods are made, but they dont become default features of the script.

So you see, the cleaner and simpler, the better....
