Hi,
I'm new to this list, so please excuse me if this topic has been discussed
to death already, but in a quick search of the list archives, it doesnt
appear to have come up recently.
I'm currently starting out with using Drupal as a base for some web site
installs and like the way its functionality can be extended with modules to
drawn in and embed functionality from other packages such as Gallery2.
Apart from http://drupal.org/node/58466 (which seems to have stagnated and
in fact no longer works with Drupal6) there doesnt appear to have been much
activity in embedding RoundCubeMail functionality within the Drupal
framework. Is anyone else currently looking into this, and would I be
wasting my time / duplicating effort if I was to attempt something ?
My initial thoughts would be to integrate the authentication, so
authenticated users in drupal can click a single link and go straight into
their mailbox in webmail (spawning a new tab/window in the short term).
Looking at
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_Hooks I wonder if this
could be achieved by using the
authenticate hook rather than by patching the roundcube code like the
previous attempt did ?
Longer term, I would like to see embedded functionality like Gallery2
does, so that for example, when viewing a user's mailbox their folder list
appears as an expandable menu list within the standard Drupal navigation
menu, the message list / message view / compose etc appears in the main
page body, and elements such as the "E-Mail", "Address Book" and "Personal
Settings" can either be presented in a Drupal 'Block' which could be
presented in any of the standard header / left/right sidebar locations etc.
Does this all sound sensible / achievable ? Anyone else looking into
something similar ?
I am a fairly confident Perl / PHP coder, less so with Javascript and AJAX
technologies, though am willing to contribute to this project if I can. If
noone else is currently looking into Drupal integration,
could anyone
suggest a good place for me to start ?
Many thanks,
Rob Coward
