Activate Roundcube Plugin

Plugins need to be allowed in the main.config.php of roundcube, you can also write options in this file. If you want to modify options you have to modify the template in /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20plugin

Please add all plugins you want to activate in the command line below :

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('plugin1','plugin2','plugin3');

where "plugin*" is a valid name of plugin and a valid folder name in /opt/roundcube/plugins

see the file 20plugin for example

nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20plugin

save by ctrl+x

expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php

Your personal settings

For special needs you should create your personal template file if you want your config file will not be overwritten by the smeserver-roundcube templates.

For example do

nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/21plugin-personal

with all your special options you want and perform this CL to expand templates

expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php 

You can read the file below to know further options you can activate

less /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php.dist

All plugins in /opt/roundcube/plugins/ comes with their own config.inc.php.dist which you can use to set default options.

       local-pw         => Local network  (password required)
       global           => Entire Internet(no password required)
       global-pw        => Entire Internet(password required)
       global-pw-remote => Entire Internet(password required outside local network)

	Note:
	the global option is already the default option to control access to this contribs

config setprop roundcube PublicAccess global

To enable your changes run these commands

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

Add a different URL

by example

http://yourserver.net/webmail 

or

http://yourserver.net/mail

	Warning:
	This URL of /webmail is used by the horde webmail, so you have to deactivated the webmail in the server-manager

	Note:
	this adds another url, it doesn't remove the default

config setprop roundcube URL webmail

or

config setprop roundcube URL mail

To enable your changes run these commands

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

• If you want to remove completely the new url

config delprop roundcube URL

then

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

Local Settings

The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment

• eg. /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20local

check which setting you want to change with

cat /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php.dist

then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old

expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php

If you think your setting should be the SME default raise a bug

Options

Activate Roundcube Plugins

the major change is the roundcube plugin repository, however there are not too much available now, but with time there will be more.

if you need more plugins, you can see http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/ and you have to add the package name in composer.json. Take attention to the coma (,) it is really important.

# nano /opt/roundcube/composer.json

 "require": {
      	"php": ">=5.3.0",
      	"roundcube/plugin-installer": ">=0.1.3",
      	"johndoh/markasjunk2": "dev-release-1.0",
      	"johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
      	"johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
      	"johndoh/copymessage": "dev-release-1.0"
    },

after each modification launch

rcplugin_update.sh

Answer yes or not to the question. Once done, if you want to activate plugin, you need to use the db command (need to be activated only one time) Add them to the db command (Here are the plugins that come by default with the program)

   PluginsList=globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist

in order to modify, you must add your plugin list with coma

config setprop roundcube PluginsList globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,copymessage 
signal-event conf-roundcube

Now when you want to update your plugin list, you can issue simply

 rcplugin_update.sh

Local Settings

• The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment

# ll /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php/
10default_host           15Ldap_addressbook       20plugins_configuration  template-begin           template-end             

• check which setting you want to change with

cat /opt/roundcube/config/defaults.inc.php

or for a plugin managesieve

cat /opt/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php.dist

• Add the new setting in a new file

vim /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php/30my_custom_settings

• Now you have to expand

signal-event conf-roundcube

	Note:
	If you think your setting should be the SME default raise a bug
