Plugins - Address Group Plugin
Category: Addressbook

This simple plugin works on an additional table (addressgroup) containing references to the nicknames from either the personal address book ie. the user will form the address group with entries in his address book.

To configure the plugin:

1. Firstly, you must have your address books stored in a database, one
which PEAR DB can connect to. You must configure the db DSN in the
config.php (in config folder).

$addrbook_dsn = 'connection string';

As to how to configure the DSN (from PEAR DB Manual):

* phptype: Database backend used in PHP (mysql, odbc etc.)
* dbsyntax: Database used with regards to SQL syntax etc.
* protocol: Communication protocol to use (tcp, unix etc.)
* hostspec: Host specification (hostname[:port])
* database: Database to use on the DBMS server
* username: User name for login
* password: Password for login
*
* The format of the supplied DSN is in its fullest form:
*
* phptype(dbsyntax)://username:password@protocol+hostspec/database
*

The Databases currently supported (the phptype DSN part) are:

mysql -> MySQL
pgsql -> PostgreSQL
ibase -> InterBase
msql -> Mini SQL
mssql -> Microsoft SQL Server
oci8 -> Oracle 7/8/8i
odbc -> ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
sybase -> SyBase
ifx -> Informix
fbsql -> FrontBase

2. To set up an address book for your users, refer to the following
documetnation. You need to have a table like "address"
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/AddressbookDatabase

3. To store the addressgroups, create the following table:

create table addressgroups(
owner varchar(50),
nickname varchar(50),
addressgroup varchar(50),
type varchar(50)
);

The lengths and datatype of the fields are suggested. Modify them to suit
your needs, especially if you use a different database. You could give the
table another name, just remember to change the table name wherever you see:

$myparams = array();
$myparams['dsn'] = $addrbook_dsn;
// change this table name if you named it differently
$myparams['table'] = 'addressgroups';

Thats all folks :)

Version 0.51
by Tomas Kuliavas on Oct 7, 2006
[ abook_group-0.51-1.4.2.tar.gz tarball (6159 d/l) Help ]
Requires: SquirrelMail 1.4.2 or later

Description:

This is intermediate plugin release before making big changes in plugin code. Planned changes are not backwards compatible with current address book data format.

Known issues:

  • remote backends (LDAP) are not enabled.
  • plugin does not work correctly in mixed environments with file based and db based address books.
  • plugin does not work with two flat file address books correctly.

Changes:

  • fixed warnings in flatfile functions
  • added functions that block use of plugin in mixed address book environment. (I don't have plans to fix it until code rewrite in 0.60).
  • $javascript_on variable is used instead of soupNazi().
  • Added Italian translation by Roberto Piola .
  • Converted Russian translation from KOI to UTF-8.
  • Cleaned unused translation directories in po. Removed message.mo files.
  • Added COPYING file and cleaned README.
  • added phpdoc blocks and copyrights.
  • fixed corruption of some variables with recent sqgetGlobalVar() function.
  • disabled use of remote backends.
  • removed some unneeded gettext domain switches.
  • Use function arguments to submit addresses. (sm-bugtracker #1048059, #957157). Fix by Randy Berdan (randum6 at users.sourceforge.net)


Version 0.50
by Jon Nelson on Jul 22, 2004
[ abook_group.0.50-1.4.2.tar.gz tarball (13406 d/l) Help ]
Requires: >=SquirrelMail 1.4.0 (other versions untested), PEAR db.php + Database. Currently no LDAP support!

Description: Jon Nelson ceases to be the maintainer due to work/class load. The plugin is now stored at http://www.sf.net/projects/sm-plugins. This version hasn't been extensively tested. Added Brazilian Portuguese translation with help from Fabio Marcos Pedroso Filho. Applied name patch to reflect Bryan Loniewski comments: "Just a small patch for the text displayed next to the search box, since the search is not performed on 'address' but on 'name'." Modified by Jason Naughton essentially cleaned up a few files junk files left around. Changed the group_database.php file so that based on the $addrbook_dsn variable set by the config.php (ie configure) was set to "" we were then using flat file format. If it was set to anything else then we're back to using databases... Modified by Jason Naughton noticed there wasn't a close button available after you clicked on the groups button and pulled up the groups window so I simply added it. Modified by Jason Naughton added Flat file support.
