While we strive to make sure that functionality available in WebMail Pro (PHP) is implemented in a way convenient for most users, some of them might want to modify the product, add a feature they need, integrate WebMail with other products they use, and so on.

We'd like all our users to know: if you've made something other people can use, please feel free to share it! Even if it's some very basic modification, it might still come in really handy for others!

You can post your modifications, or links to articles posted elsewhere, in this forum thread. Subsequently, we're going to maintain a special documentation section which will include user-contributed docs. Of course, product developers will be notified of such modifications, and if particular modification is found extremely useful it can even become a part of product itself, either as a solid feature or a plugin.

Nice

We did something (big) in WebMail PHP Pro (V4, V5, and V6) "we didn't start working in V7 yet" but I don't know if I can share it.

I will discuss it with my boss,

If he agree I will send it to you to add it in the core if you like it, and I am sure you will.

Hi


Sorry for the delay, after my last post I went for a long vacation

Now I am back and I discussed it with my boss, and he agreed for Sharing it.

So lets get started



The problem:
If you install (AfterLogic WebMail Pro) in a shared hosting server, you can't give the site users an access to the (admin panel) because each user will be able to view and modify the rest of the accounts as he will be able to see your license code!



The Idea:
Create a sub (control panel) for the users so they can manage their email accounts.


Key Features:
We started with the key features pointed on the basic idea above.
Then we added many features over the past years to make email management easier.


Features list:
here are the main features

Login page:
just go to yourdomain.com/webmail pro installation folder/cp
and use you hosting username and password to login

Domain list page:
This page will list all the domains added under your hosting account.
click on the domain you want and you will be taken to the List All Email Accounts Under this Domain page where you can (add edit delete) unlimited email accounts depending on your host limitation.

Email Accounts list:
You will see all your emails with details: (ID, User Email, Last login, city, group, Section and Quota)
You can filter the list by groups, cities and sections.
You can rearrange the list by ID, User Email, Last login, city, group, Section and Quota.

Synchronize E-mails
let say you already have some email accounts add before you install this control panel or you add an email account from your host panel.
No problem, just hit the (synchronize mails) and let the magic begin.

Add new Email
User Email
Password
Confirm password
Name
Job
Section
Telephone number
city
group
Qutoa

Edit new Email
User Email
Password
Confirm password
Name
Job
Section
Telephone number
city
group
Qutoa
[delete permanently>: Delete the account permanently from the server
[Soft Delete>: Delete account from the Reader only. This will remove all contacts list , but the account will still Exist in the Server


Groups Management:
(add edit delete) unlimited users groups

Cities Management:
(add edit delete) unlimited cities

Sections Management:
(add edit delete) unlimited sections and sub sections

Settings:
Set control panel interface language
Set the number of emails per Page
Set Visitor message (WYSIWYG) this massage will show in the end user login page (see the screenshot)

Known issues

We use DirectAdmin all the time so we never test this on Cpanel
last DirectAdmin update brake the user login (we did not check that out yet) because our programer resigned 2 months ago.



Please note:

We are willing to give it to (afterlogic) to include it in the core project

thank you

Looks awesome, but I didn't find any download links or something like that in your post. How exactly are you sharing it?

BTW, which WebMail Pro version it's based on? From the screenshot, it looks like version 5 or around that - while to be included into current release, it has to be based on version 7. But regardless of that, any modifications are welcome of course

Yes, there is no public download link!

This is been made only for our needs and to serve a group of our clients.
There was no intention to distribute it what so ever (free or paid)

We don't do software or scripting for public and so on
We had one programer do work for us only

Distribute a script must be with support, (free or paid)

But when I saw your topic I say way not?

And as I told you that I do not have a programmer currently and I am not intend of hiring at the moment so it did not do it for V7 and didnot upgrade to v7 yet ether so no problem

I will send you download links for all versions if you like it and AfterLogic include it to WebMail Pro (PHP)


you can upgrade it to V7 in no time I know, trust me on that


I am not at office right know but from my laptop svn (and i cant log to svn server from home but I think this is full list) I can give download for this:

cp_1.1.0 (don't remember for what )
cp_1.1.3_for_webmail_4.9.2_to_5.1.7
cp_1.2.0_for_webmail_6.0.0
cp_1.2.1_for_webmail_6.0.0_to_6.3.7
cp_1.2.2_for_webmail_6.0.0_to_6.3.7
cp_1.3.0_for_webmail_6.0.0_to_6.3.9
cp_1.3.1_for_webmail_6.3.10_to_6.4.3
cp_1.3.2_for_webmail_6.5.x_to_6.6.0
cp_1.3.3_for_webmail_6.5.x_to_6.6.0
cp_1.3.4_for_webmail_6.5.x_to_6.6.0
cp_1.3.5_for_webmail_6.5.x_to_6.6.0


Before that we make our own style for WebMail Pro (PHP) based on the BLUE style provided in early Version of WebMail Pro (PHP), So when we develop web mail user cp we simply use a separated style located in cp/style/style.css based on our style based on your style
* Our style and cp style are update separately on every new release of webmail and cp. (missing few webmail sub versions)

Sorry no public link Because I can't give support for it at the moment.

If AfterLogic Corp willing to take over, please considers it as a thanks for all the good work that have been done and contribution to the Community.

Thanks and keep up the good work

There's a misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. The idea behind this initiative is to allow users to share their modification between each other. Per our understanding, public download link is something that just has to be here, since you're sharing things with other users, not with us. This has nothing to do with inclusion to main codebase of the product (we just can't guarantee that), or with offering support (we're talking about using things on "AS IS" basis). Don't get me wrong, we really appreciate your posts here, I just wanted to make sure you understand what this is about.

No problem Igor

This is our offer and its your call now

And still we can't give public download link with out support, we care about our and AfterLogic products reputation

If AfterLogic Corp. take over, no need to include it to core files

It can be download as a separate module/addon


There is install file , read me file , etc...


If not it will stay as it is in the time been

Thanks

Hi, I made a kind of PoC for Active Directory Password Change.

The vars are inside the plugin, I know they properly belong inside config.php (lazyness).

Also the return messages should be improved (I will do so later). Like "old password is wrong" etc.

Well, here it is. Thanks for the ISPConfig plugin, which I took as reference.

Note: You will need a secure connection to your AD!
For Debian: Export your ADs CA certificate (needs AD CS) as base64 encoded "whatevername.crt" (.cer will not work), copy it inside "/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/", run "update-ca-certificates".
You also need the PHP5 ldap-module. :-)

Thank you! I've asked the product management team to look into this. One quick question, if you don't mind: we already have a plugin for Password change via LDAP which was tested with Active Directory; can you please let us know if your plugin offers some different functionality, maybe adds support for some aspects we've overlooked?
