Title: Installing plug-ins only
Post by: Mfitz67 on November 30, 2009, 12:39:57 AM

Hi, I already have a working RC 0.3.1 Do I need to change any of the base files or can I just copy the plugin files to the plugin's folder. The reason I'm asking is that I had to modify quite a few files of the RC application to work with IIS 5

Also, I have this post http://www.roundcubeforum.net/general-discussion/5869-hmail-plugins-rosalis-dsn-connection-help.html (http://www.roundcubeforum.net/general-discussion/5869-hmail-plugins-rosalis-dsn-connection-help.html) about installing specifically the password plugin for hMail and the accounts plugin.

I haven't tried to install any of the MyRoundCube plugins yet but I hope to once I figure out what to enter in the connection string for the hMail db.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Win2000 Server
hMail 5.3 w/phpwebadmin
RC 0.3.1
PHP
Mysql

MyRoundCube is a collection of plugins you don't need to edit any of the base files. All you need to do to use a plugin is put its folder in the [RC root]/plugins folder then add the plugin name (same as the plugin folder name) to the plugins array in the [RC root]/config/main.inc.php like:

Code Select

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('plugin1', 'pugin2', 'etc');

Okay, thanks. I thouht so but wanted to make sure. Anyone have any ideas on the connection string for MSSQLCE? I guess I should have used the MySql db that was already installed instead of hMail's built-in db.

Edit: I suppose the password update query will be different too.

See this post :

I don't know if there is anyone have sloved the problem.

Change database backend to Mysql seems to be the most directly method.

Thanks gemini. I'm going to try to reconfigue the hMailserver to use Mysql. I only have a handful of accounts on there anyway so if I lose them and have to start over, no big deal. Seems it would be better to start off with the Mysql db and save myself a lot of headaches with future updates and such. Thanks again.
