Firstly, Gday Tomas
Thanks very much for the email posted on the 25th July. I followed the
instructions included and used your patches and got the plugin working
finally. So thank you.

I also enjoyed the rather frustrated humour you included......
"...              * it is possible that next action was "hit send" :)   "
That's how I usually feel about my users, so it was healthy to get it back
at me!



Gday Jeanne

I battled with the global address book patch for quite awhile and eventually
got it going thanks to the excellent help posted by Tomas Kuliavas. Check
out his messages on the 25th July and again on the 30th August. They have
attachments that ought help you. I followed the instructions in the earlier
email (27th) and found that they worked for me, but the 30th looks like it'd
be even easier!

Just update the name of your global addressbook table & the path to the
database.
One other trap I fell into was initially making the global database
writeable and then trying to make it read only by changing the 'writeable'
=> 'true' variable in addressbook.php to 'false' Don't do that, just comment
out the whole line (or start with the read only version of the file from
Tomas' version from the 30th.

If you can't find these emails in the archive, then let me know and I'll
forward them to you.

Cheers
William

Subject: [SM-PLUGINS] Global AddressBook Backend


Greetings,

I'm a new, relatively clueless subscriber that has spent a lot of time in
the archives but it seems they're no longer accessible so I'm having to
approach the list directly. I don't do any php authoring and have no coding
background. I can only do the most minor amount of hacking and that
primarily for presentational issues.

I recently installed Squirrelmail and some plugins on a hosted domain and
everything is working well. I'd like to set up a global address book for my
users (all teachers in the same school). I would just populate each of their
personal address books with the entire groups' data but that seems very
redundant and a waste of database space. Since I have 50 teachers, I'd have
2500 records, 2450 of which would be duplicates but for the owners' names.
So a global book makes sense.

However, I must admit I'm not entirely clear on how to handle the
global_sql_addressbook file as it presumes a level of experience decidedly
greater than my own. <g> I see I need to patch which is something I've not
done before but I have the man page and it looks easy enough. There are
paths within the patch file that look like they need to be changed first,
and references to setting variables that have me a bit confused.

I already have the address_group plugin installed, and a table that meets
the needs of this patch. Is there someone that has worked through this
patch/plugin that might be able to step me through this installation?

Many thanks,
Jeanne
