Could you elaborate? What do you mean by re-arrange?
I can actually get this to work, if I let my 7 plugins hook into both the
preferences_sections_list, and my own plugin section list. Then I see the
plugins on my own tab, and I can click on them, and if my new tab plugin
javascript calls the normal edit-prefs action with my own section it all seems
to work and I see the edit screen in my iframe.
Only issue now is, i see these 7 plugins on the general tab as well. I could
hide this with css maybe, but you seem to suggest I could do something else. I
dont quite see what yet :) It seems the plugins have to be listed in
preferences_section_list, else edit_prefs.inc doesnt actually find the plugin.
$CURR_SECTION = get_input_value('_section', RCUBE_INPUT_GPC);
list($SECTIONS,) = rcmail_user_prefs($CURR_SECTION); <-- my plugin doesnt end
up in this array if I dont hook my plugin into preferences_sections_list.
