hello Roundcube Devs
WOW, Rouncube is realy cool! Yes, its just what I need for my home
server.
What I miss is a more felxible LDAP Addressbook.
I allready started to hack RC for my needs, but I am not sure if my
changes are wellcome since I have seen that it is planed to rewrite the
addressbook in further releases... isnt it?
And my changes are still verry personal and not that good configurable
like it sould be at a commit.
And another problem is, that I have setup my LDAP server my own, thus I
am not sure about "standars" on that side.
Features I implemented allredy:
- more fields like address, phone nubers, notes, and the flexibility to
add more in the config file.
- the "name" field is redundant, it is just "surname lastname", thus it
must not be shown and editable.
- it must be able to let the "email" field empty, because a lot of my
addresses just have an address or phone number (used on the cell phone)
-> the only field that is necessarry for the LDAP DN is the surname.
- adding new fields out of the E-Mail tool improved: email address is
now read as:
"firstname surname em...@bla" or
"surname, firstname em...@bla" or
"surname em...@bla" or
"[email protected]" or
"[email protected]"
even mor sensefull syntaxes can be added.
- if the "name" allready exists, the entry can not be added, but the
email can be added if empty (for my cellphone adresses i like to
compleet with email in RC)
Features I have planed to implement soon:
- group management: read groups out of the LDAP, create and remove
groups. (I still looking for a "standard- like" LDAP implementation of
address groups, I tried allready to use the "o:" attribute, but I think
it is better to use seperate LDAP subdirectories for each group)
The question is now: is it welcome if I prepare this to commit once? or
is it even allready done in the latest SVN? (I use the stable 4.2 as
base)
thanks for feedback
Andreas
