Plaxo integration (Ticket #1449767)

[awhitby]

Hi,

Like the user who raised this ticket, I store my addresses in Plaxo (synchronised with Outlook). Plaxo has produced an address book widget that integrates with other web pages to return addresses stored in Plaxo (or AOL, Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc). The Plaxo instructions are really simple, so I had a go at integrating it into roundcube (the version hosted by Westhost, which appears to be 0.1-20060914).

To do this I created a directory in the root roundcube directory called plaxo and added the following file plaxo_cb.html (make sure all the permissions are right):

[~/www/roundcube/plaxo]$ cat plaxo_cb.html






[~/www/roundcube/plaxo]$

In addition, in skins/default/templates I made the following diffs:

[~/www/roundcube/skins/default/templates]$ diff compose.html.backup compose.html

> > '/roundcube/plaxo/plaxo_cb.html'); return false">[Add]
>
[~/www/roundcube/skins/default/templates]$

Replace '/roundcube/plaxo/plaxo_cb.html' with whatever the absolute path to the first file above is on the webserver.

Apologies for the fairly crappy description - I mainly did this for myself but thought someone else might be able to use it. Perhaps someone can develop this up into a proper plugin or whatever, if others find it useful.

Andrew.

What a great idea. This works perfectly. Thanks for posting this. In addition to your Plaxo address book, this widget allows you to import addresses from AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, and Outlook.

Wow, that's utterly fantastic.  Have you created a Trac ticket for this with these exact directions (or a link to these) so that it could possibly be added to 0.1.2?

[rosali]

Yes, I submitted a feature request ticket.

BTW, you can use Plaxo widget also to import various addressbooks into RC ... That's on my TODO's for later on.

Here is a hack if you run RoundCube not on SSL (avoid annoying browser unsecure warning):

#1-config/main.inc.php (add at very bottom)

Code Select Expand


require_once "config_check.php";

#2-config/config_check.php (new file)

Code Select Expand



// disable ads on SSL connections
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == TRUE){
  $rcmail_config['google_ads'] = FALSE;
  $rcmail_config['ssl_append'] = "s";
}
else{
  $rcmail_config['ssl_append'] = "";
}
?>

#3-skins/default/template/compse.html (between head tags)

Code Select Expand

















NOTICE: If you use this hack you have to look frequently about updates of http://www.plaxo.com/css/m/js/abc_launcher.js !!!
