The HDS Web Mail for TeleFinder plugin is designed to allow users of TeleFinder to access their email through the Web Server. This means that people can access their email from anywhere, provided there is an internet connection available.
New for this release:
1.01b1 € Added [!config timefmt="xxx"!] command. This uses the same format as TeleFinder SPML € Added [!config domain="domain.com"!] command. This adjusts the outgoing domain used when sending mail. Can be used to support sites with multiple domains € Fixed double-memory release that would cause debug versions of the TF Server to go into MacsBugs (or otherwise crash the machine) when the Error Page was getting shown. € Added User Manager statistics. This includes time logged on, last logon, and emails sent. Essentially, this means that you can track users using the Web Mail system, and use a utility such as Suzie to expire unused accounts. € Added hit counter, similar to TF SPML's <!--#count--> command. Use the include command to include the contents of the counter file. See 'browse.mail' and 'bottombanner.mail' for examples. € Changed autorefresh to request the page 'browse.mail?nc=1'. This enables the hit counter to count seperately for pages that are automatically reloaded (they go into 'browse-auto.mailcount'). € Fixed user logon timeout from 10hrs to 10mins € Fixed newmailsound inclusion to be *inside* the conditional (you would get the sound all the time otherwise!) € Set width=height=0 for sound embedding in Netscape in order to hide the audio controller € Made cookie mechanism more flexible in order to support dodgy Internet Explorer clients. Cookies will now expire regardless of whether the user agent expires them (they have the time embedded in them) € The [!echo authurl!] command still gives an authentification string that is universally valid (used as post args in the send mail form, in case the user spends more than 10 mins composing a message) € Added support in the parser for <!--#command--> format, similar to SPML. Note that there must be no spaces in '<!--#command'. € [!endif!] may be used instead of [!fi!] if desired (this has always been present, but never documented).
The following files have changed in this release:
bbrowse.mail Put newmailsound include *after* the [!if newmailcount!] conditional. browse.mail Added [!count!] command to show example of its usage. It updates the file 'browse.mailcount' each time the browser is loaded. bottombanner.mail Display browser access count after the author's name: by Jonathan Paisley (counter-goes-here) newmailsound.mail Updated to (work and) hide the audio controller in Netscape. tbrowse.mail Support for files in the mailbox. topbanner.mail Added config timefmt command as template. If omitted the TeleFinder default is used. [!config timefmt="%a, %d %b, %I:%M%p"!]
1.01 € Renamed to HDS Web Mail for TeleFinder € Changed handling of attachments and files in mailbox to allow for different sub-sites
Available on SI BBS and (soon) on the Highlander web site.
