basic questions... no info found...
« on: July 16, 2011, 11:06:01 PM »
I have many basic questions and with all my reading, I'm not getting very far.  Is there a dummies tutorial for roundcube available?  I installed and am using a custom theme called groupvice4.  Its the closest one to a theme that looks like outlook and yahoo mail.  this is a basic list of the things I'd like to know.  I'm sorry about my earlier emails but I figured Id post all on one thread:

- how do you attach email addresses from the "compose email" window?  There doesnt seem to be an icon/wording like you have on all the other email programs to click on so that you can attach email addresses.  I found that you can start typing part of their name and it will flood you with a list but there has to be a way you can select multiple emails by clicking the mouse.  I'd like to be able to take a look at all my contacts so I can determine who I'd like to add to the email.

- what plugins would people recommend using?  I'm going thru the entire plugin database to see what looks good.

- after I complete my install, what should I delete in terms of files for security issues?

- does roundcube have encryption plugin to encrypt the emails and info on my acct? (I think I found a ton of them.  spending forever trying to understand the plugins.

- where does one install the roundcube plugins?

This is a good start.

Thanks

in terms of the plugins, I did what the wiki told me to activate the plugins. I uploaded all the plugins to the /plugins folder.  Then I went to the main.inc.php file.   I edited the following:




/*

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('vcard_attachments');
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file');
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_query');
// ----------------------------------


I added all those plugins.  to the file and when I re-upload it to the server I dont see any changes.  Supposedly by editing the main.inc.php file like shown above, it should show all my plugins but I dont see the plugins in my email.  Im using the theme groupvice4 and am trying to get these plugins to work.  Should I be removing the ; at the end of each line?  If not, what else should I be doing to activate the plugins?

...

this is incorrect, all you have done there is set `$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('archive');`, each time you are simply overwritting the value of $rcmail_config['plugins'] with the one after it. what you want is like this:

Code: [Select]
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('additional_message_headers', 'antiBruteForce', 'archive', ...)

you cant delete the SQL and installer folders and even the contents of the bin folder if you are not using any of the scripts.

There is a plugin named 'compose_addressbook' which gives you the ability tot add addresses from the address book into the to, cc or bcc fields.

well I THINK I did the plugin right:

*/

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('additional_message_headers', 'antiBruteForce', 'archive', 'autologon', 'bhuisgen-rc-vacation-b4101fc', 'compose_newwindow', 'contextmenu', 'custom_from', 'database_attachments', 'debug_logger', 'dennylin93-rcguard-f61dae3', 'download_all', 'emoticons', 'example_addressbook', 'filesystem_attachments', 'global_address_book', 'google_contacts', 'help', 'JohnDoh-Roundcube-Plugin-Message-Size-00f21ec', 'managesieve', 'managesieve', 'markasjunk', 'markasjunk2', 'new_user_dialog', 'new_user_identity', 'password', 'recipient_to_address_book', 'saas-dev-roundcube-forgot_password-8a206ed', 'sauserprefs', 'show_additional_headers', 'sieverules', 'special_folders', 'squirrelmail_usercopy', 'subscriptions_option', 'thomasysliu-Roundcube-Plugin-Drag-and-Upload-8e56394', 'userinfo', 'vacation', 'vcard_attachments', 'vcard_attachments', 'virtuser_file', 'virtuser_query');

// ----------------------------------
// LOGGING/DEBUGGING
// ----------------------------------

yet nothing changed.  I'm not editing any other file then main.inc.php in the config folder corrrect?  I uploaded all the plugins (UNZIPPED) into the plugins folder and edited main.inc.php in the config folder. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

I can tell that some of the plugins have the wrong names which is most likely causing errors, I'm also going to guess that you didn't configure all of those plugins which is most likely causing even more errors. Why don't you start out with 1 or 2 plugins and add more after you confirm the first ones are working.

EDIT
Also did you put the plugin line at the top of the main.inc.php? If you did its getting overwritten by the $rcmail_config['plugins'] line further down the file.

.........

Everything past this point is the original.  I am removing all the plugins and doing what you recommended.  Let me know if I should edit any other lines.

I removed the installation and reinstalled it.  

I only added the compose_addressbook plugin

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('compose_addressbook');

$rcmail_config['log_date_format'] = 'd-M-Y H:i:s O';


I also uploaded the jqueryui into the plugins folder cause the compose_addressbook said I had to.    I still get nothing.......   :(

Don't add the plugin line at the top of the config file. Find the default plugin line farther down in the config file and edit it.

Almost every plug-in has it's own config file. Just check for this file and rename and modify it to your environment and/or needs.
