Hi

This script I can use only when I have CPanel?

[dumle]

Hello all!

First of all i just want to thank you for a great plugin!

I installed it this morning, and it seems to be working great!

Some thoughts for future releases though:

• Image verification on the registration progress.
• Multilingual support. Perhaps by placing a separate file with languages.
• Im a bit uneasy, giving away my cPanel password in the installations process as it is stored plaintext in a file.
• The INSTALL.TXT says to chmod the folder to 777. But i think you should chmod it back after installing. Maybe the install script itself could handle this?

I could help out with most of the points above, but maybe there should be some kind of structure as how to set the different parts up? Or perhaps you tuney could put the stuff together before a release?

And the bugs ive found so far:

• The INSTALL.TXT says to chmod the folder to 777. But i think you should chmod it back after installing. Maybe the install script itself could handle this?
• Then deleting a user under Firefox, you can't return to the admin window without closing it first and clicking the admin button in the mail box. The error returned when deleting a user is:

YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS THIS AREA

Thanks Tuney for the great work. Just curious if you
have a possible ETA on the vbulletin plugin/integration.

I'll be more than happy to send you a little donation for your hard work.

after very extensive research, i've come to realize that there seems to be nothing out there that does what i was looking for. hivemail almost did it, but then the project died before they could fix the load problems it created on sites with heavy traffic (over a couple thousand members).

then i stumble across roundcube, and i'm blown away by the elegance of it. judged on it's own, it seems to be leagues ahead of whats out there. however, the drawback (in my situation) is the vB integration. i'd love to see it go beyond just a simple authentication and also allow for groups to be created within roundcube that allow for predefined quotas and privileges...

ie:

group 1: 25mb quota, up to 3 custom defined storage folders.
group 2: 100mb quota, up to 5 custom defined storage folders.
group 3: unlimited quota, unlimted custom defined storage folders.

then have it possible to link these groups to user levels in vB...

ie:

regular vB member is entitled to roundcube group1.
senior vB member is entitled to roundcube group 2.
paid (premium) vB member is entitled to roundcube group 3.

as a standard option it would be hoped that a new vB registrant would be presented (or old member have an option to be grandfathered in) with a dialogue offering them to sign up for webmail. (bonus would be if they couls also be presented with an offer to immediately pay to upgrade to a premium account).

further, (and this is crucial for us at least), would be an admin panel of some sort to be able to...

first see some basic stats: how many outgoing/incoming emails (hourly/weekly/monthly/yeat to date/yearly). average disc usage per roundcube group. view/contact members per roundcube group. the next feature, and this one is huge (in our case at least) would be to have an admin panel to define footer ads for outgoing emails. again they would be able to be activated by roundcube group, and allow for text or html ads. flexibility would also be nice, like being able to define campaigns, start and end dates, etc.

anyhow, these are only my opinions on what we'd would love to have. judging from the beautiful job so far on developing roundcube, i can only imagine what a graceful approach to the above we'd see if the developer(s) were interested in pursuing this. i hope i don't offend anyone by saying that for the above options, i'd be willing to pay generously (as well as contribute the code back), despite the direction of the project remaining opensource and free.

It's an interesting idea, but sounds a bit more of a major mod than what tuney's got planned for his next release (requiring a bit of tinkering in RC and vB's files I would think as email quotas would have to be changed if user changes groups).

On the plus side though it also sounds, from what I can gather, quite possible that the next version (tuney's extra additions, not RC) could be extended further to achieve this.

Thank you again for the support, encouragement and comments.

Sorry it's been a while since I replied but work has been keeping me busy. Finally I have a chance to start really working on this again!

So, here's a quick update on progress and plans.....

Features planned to add...
Image verification for signup

Better INSTALL.TXT

Integration - for Vbulletin, and some CMS's (so far planned for Xoops, Joomla, php-Nuke). Integration would include auto signup and auto login/logout.

Use with other systems other than CPanel.

Features already added and being tested....
Invite email - enter an email address, name and expiration date. The recipient is then sent an email with a unique link and a date of when that link will expire.
On the admin side, a list of invites are visible, showing the email address that has been invited, name, date invite was sent, date of expiration, valid days reamaining and the invite status.
The invite status is either, active, expired or completed.
If a user signups from an invite the status in admin is automatically set to completed and that particular link is no longer valid.
If the expiry date passes and the user visits the link they are informed that the invite is expired.

Basic stats on the main admin page - Total number of accounts, total quota used.

Mass Email - an email can be sent to all or any users by ticking a box by their email address.
Clicking on the send mail button then taps into Roundcube, opens up a window ready to compose an email with the address selected already entered into the address field.

I am sure there are other things that I have planned for it or have already done, I will need to look back through the post and my little bits of paper!!

However, the above is a quick update on things and to let you all know that the project is still active.

I really like misteraven's idea and it sounds like it would be fun to do although it will most likely be a 'seperate' project once this next release is out.

Thanks

[misteraven]

thanks for the acknowledgement.

i'm considering funding the private development of the featureset i suggested in my first post. if so, i'll definitely make sure changes and code are carefully commented and logged, and contribute the results back to you with the hopes, that it'll somehow be supported by future versions of the project.

if there's anything you suggest moving forward, please contact me.

thanks again.

Hey man i wanted to thank you for these add ons you have made for roundcube and how easy you have made it to install/configure.. and how much i have learned thanx to your read me files/install instructions..

I'm am VERY new to Linux / open source software... and to tell you the truth opensource software is the BEST things i have ever discovered. At this point in time the only thing i have ever installed has been Joomla and Roundcube ( roundcube i had the help of my hosting company ) i also had to get some help with the 'useraccounts' database's but configuring has been a breeze..

 I'm still having some problems but i think it has something to do with cpanel. The problems I'm having i haven't seen any one else post about so i really don t think its a code problem, but my hosting company has and is helping me more then i could have ever expected (liquidweb.com) but i just wanted to express how much i appreciate everything your doing and have done... And to thank you for making it so easy for someone with as little experience as my self to do things on Linux..

Keep up the good work man


On another note I'm not rich but do have some money i would like to invest on getting some other
features added and think your the right man for the job.. and to show my gratitude to open source and the makers of Roundcube i have no problems posting w/e i pay for to make life a little better to anyone who thinks open source software makes life better... LIKE MYSELF...

I hope this plugin will work with Plesk 8 soon

[yada]

man no matter wut i do i cant get this to work : /

[yada]

got working now thanx to some else lol

[tuney]

Thanks for everyones support and patience!!

As we all know, one thing that can be relied on in life is that bills will keep coming so I have had most of my time just lately taken up with some Ecommerce sites to keep the wolves happy !! lol

Work is still continuing, at present I am adding the code validation.

Over the next few days I will looking back over these posts to see what other features people wanted and try and incorporate them all into this release.

Once completed, I will also most likely be looking for a ' willing volunteer ' who would let me do a fresh install of the plugin on their server to check for install bugs. Then the realease will be available.

After the release I will mainly be working on RoundCube integration. Both with bulletin boards/forums and CMS's. Just a simple Auto signup/login type thing.

[ptwmedia]

I would love joomla integration! I might be your willing volunteer as well...

Hey Tuney,

I run a small webhosting company, you have a free acount if you want it. RC is an a amazing script and you have just made it so much better, So you are very welcome to a free hosting account for both testing of your scripts, or even if you have a personal site you want to host.
