global addressbook plugin

[yannickarens]

Hello all,

I'm totally new with roundcube. But I have installed it on my server to provide webmail for the users.

I have now a problem with the global addressbook plugin. The installation is went well en i see by my addressbook a addressbook named: Global addresses. But when i typed by reciepents global addresses the group is not found by roundcube. Is this correct or have i done something wrong?

I hope someone can help me!

Yannick

do you have $rcmail_config['globaladdressbook_autocomplete'] = true; set in the globaladdressbook config?

Hi.  I just started using RoundCube and it is excellent.  For me, the two biggest issues are (1) lack of grouping e-mail addresses under one group name and (2) defaulting the response reply text to follow the original message.

I found globaladdressbook.zip but do not have the technological sophistication to make changes to the configuration file.  Can you point me where directions for "dummies" might be?  Is there a planned date when this will be part of the standard release?

Is there a way to default the response reply text (and signature) to insert before the original quoted message?

Thank you.

What version of RC are you using? Address book groups are avaiable in 0.4b. I'm not sure if top posting was in 0.3.1 but its definalty in 0.4b under Personal Settings > Composing Messages.

There is a readme that comes with the globaladdressbook plugin have you read that? There are lots of posts on the forum about how to install plugins.

I have access to 0.3.1 through our internet service provider, Bluehost.  It does not look like I can get access to later versions using that host provider.

I did not unzip the plug-in.  I will now and will read the readme file.  Will that have the instructions how to plug-in this enhancement?

I'm also new to these discussion boards and clear succinct directions for novices are hard for novices to find.  I appreciate your response and direction.

Thank you.

I looked at the ReadMe file and the instructions are bit above my head to add globaladdressbook.

Is there a way to default reply text so it appears before the quoted text, rather than afterward?

Thanks again,
Steve

In order to install plugins or use top posting you will need access to your own install of RoundCube.

[slevine]

Thanks.  I have done that.  What comes next?

[JohnDoh]

may be this will help with the installation Doc_Plugins ? Roundcube Webmail

[slevine]

Thanks.  That does help.

I have downloaded globaladdressbook.zip and extracted the files to the roundcube/plug-ins sub-directory.

I have opened the README file.  The first section is about Install:

Install
=======
* Place this plugin folder into plugins directory of RoundCube
* Add globaladdressbook to $rcmail_config['plugins'] in your RoundCube config
NB: When downloading the plugin from GitHub you will need to create a directory called globaladdressbook and place the files in there, ignoring the root directory in the downloaded archive

I completed the first *  but do not understand the directions in the second *.  Please explain.  Thanks.

In your /config/main.inc.php find:

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['plugins']
and add globaladdressbook to the array:

Code Select Expand

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

[slevine]

main.inc.php did not include $rcmail_config['plugins'].

I did add the line $rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('globaladdressbook');

What's my next step?

What version on RoundCube are you using?

[slevine]

Where do I see the version setting on the program?  There is no Help or About hyperlink.

In /index.php on about the 5 line there is a version number.
