Hello all,

I have a webmail-lite version that has been modified to use multiple databases based on a secure
cookie hash.

Everything, including settings and saving settings and all is working great.

However, the flash uploader does not work properly. I am figuring the settings.xml directory is hard
coded in the action script or something. Is there any way around this, for the uploader to accept a
directory to settings as a parameter in the object or something? Im not a flash enthusiast..

Can actionscript be modified to do what the PHP code is doing elsewhere and connect to database and
get the account of the logged in user and replace the settings.xml directory with the account settings
directory?

I hope I have explained well enough.

FlashDisabled works great, but I would prefer the flash uploader if at all possible.

I know this is outside of what the system is meant to do, and you can't really vouch for performance
here. But it is extremely useful handling multiple databases and I think it could be enjoyed by others as
well.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't think I can offer much help here. We didn't develop that Flash uploader ourselves but took one of
existing solutions. However, we've had multiple reports regarding the Flash-based file uploader, and thus
we decided to replace it with AJAX-based one. We've done so in our recent WebMail Pro 6 release, and since
then there were almost no complaints, and those we had were connected with write permissions.

WebMail Pro 6.1 is planned for release at the end of this month, and we'll probably update MailSuite Pro
and WebMail Lite to 6.* branch then. Till that time, you could get a free WebMail Pro license and maybe
port AJAX uploader to WebMail Lite 5, it might be less tricky compared to dealing with ActionScript.

That sounds GREAT, I really don't come across Flash and AS anymore.. but I use AJAX constantly. I will
probably just wait it out until the new release is available. I would get a license for Pro, but I don't need the
extra features (built my own) and I have many users..

Could you point me toward a public (or email me) change log or planned changes for WebMail Lite 6?

Was I correct with my assumption, that the uploader requests the settings/settings.xml file? If not, I
may have a problem elsewhere.. I have sniffed out all requests to that particular file in the source, which
led me to my conclusion.. But I don't know for certain. Again, I know you can't fully support this cause I
edited the source, but any ideas would be appreciated!

We don't have such a changelog now unfortunately. Anyway, WebMail Lite will be built on core of WebMail Pro 6,
so it will inherit most of the features excluding things like calendar.

According to the developer in charge of UI, this file is only requested by server-side scripts responsible for
handling file uploads, not by the Flash-based client-side script.

Is this a function in the command_creator code? Where would I look for those particular methods?

Thanks a lot for the help!
