HI Paul, 

I am testing SM 1.5.1  and have noticed that the Seen Flag works from Gmail
--> SM  but not the other way around.   Do you know of a fix for this?  


Woops .. I just tested again after seeing this behaviour 4 or 5 times and
now it is working as it should. strange...

getSig() is one of user preference functions. it does not matter where it is

are free to run find or grep on all SquirrelMail files or get inteligent PHP

waste of your time. If you want to change the way signatures are read or
written, you change code inside that function or write your own preference
backend.

Re: make a new release for PHP 5.4 compatibility?

BTW, I do plan on running more extensive tests this weekend with PHP 5.4,
but perhaps after the weekend?


Cheers,
Thijs

Fredrik Jervfors — 2012-03-23T11:39:32

I think it's a good idea to release often, especially if this means
support for the lastest stable version of PHP. I vote for a new release.

Sincerely,
Fredrik

Thanks a lot for the help. Just one last question. i can see the function
getSig is returning the string containing the signature text. can u tell me
where is this returned or where the function getSig is called from 
Thanks

I can follow the argument for keeping PHP 5.1 support, but I do see the
merits of discontinuing PHP 4 support.

I see the following arguments for doing so:

- No-one or hardly no-one still uses PHP 4. That means in any case that
our code is hardly if at all tested against this. Therefore I'm not sure
if we can meaningfully 'claim' PHP 4 support. It's certainly not on par
with PHP 5 support.

- Coders don't have to consider PHP 4 during implementation, even if it's
just on details and not a major blocker for anything. If it makes things
easier or more efficient, that's a win.

- Supporting PHP 4 sends a bad signal to users that it's apparently
acceptable to run it. PHP4 has been EOL'ed 5 years ago and has been out of
security support for years now and I believe it's irresponsible to still
run it.

- I have a hard time to believe that there are serious amounts of installs
that don't upgrade PHP but that do upgrade SquirrelMail. Afterall, there's
only a problem on new releases. I reckon that those running PHP4

make a new release for PHP 5.4 compatibility?

Thijs Kinkhorst — 2012-03-22T07:59:28

Hi,

PHP 5.4 has been released for a few weeks now and is since today also in
Debian testing, which means more and more people are starting to use it.
In my tests, I found until now only the mail_fetch plugin to be broken,
which I've fixed in r14276.

What do you think, should we release a new version of 1.4 for people using
PHP 5.4? There's a number of other fixes lined up aswell which would be
good to bring to users.


Cheers,
Thijs

You have access to root, but your webserver and SquirrelMail does not have
it. Webserver might be able to read signature data, if it is world readable.
It won't be able to update that data without some custom wrapper, which can
elevate webserver privileges to root or signature file owner level.

All code for handling file preferences is in functions/file_prefs.php.
Signature handing is in getSig and setSig functions.

SquirrelMail also has plugin for user preferences in ldap, if you want to
implement custom preference backend.

Re: Drop support for PHP4

David Severance — 2012-03-15T20:15:14

You can opt to load php 5.3 instead of the default php 5.1 series in 
RHEL5. This is what we do since everything else we use wants to see at 
least php 5.2 or better. Seeing as RHEL4 is end of life there is no need 
for php 4 support if you are using a current RHEL release.

Yes, I object.  RedHat still provides a version labeled 5.1.6 for
RHEL5 (although it probably has a lot of newer patches, but it's still
based on 5.1).  And there's still plenty of PHP4 installations out
there I believe.  I find this proposal to be out of the blue and I
can't see any good reason to compromise support of older versions
unless you actually have some code you're working on where it is
creating problems for you.  Even worse is to change the documentation
to indicate that we don't support versions that we really do.
Instead, I think it's better to talk about code problems that force
this discussion upon us.

SquirrelMail is web application. It runs with web server user privileges.

You can access that file with custom backend for SquirrelMail preferences,
but it would require privilege elevation to root account or backend will
work only with IMAP servers similar to UW IMAP. Privilege elevation is safer
way as UW IMAP might just corrupt your signature with its mailbox headers.

Drop support for PHP4

Fredrik Jervfors — 2012-03-15T10:53:31

Hi.

The fifth project goal states: "SquirrelMail will maintain an architecture
that will flex to the needs of a variety of system administrators, server
configurations, and web browsers while maintaining efficiency and speed."
[1]

It's this goal that has kept us at keeping support for PHP 4 for a long
time. Personally I don't want to bother with PHP 4 anymore and I don't
have any way to test my code for that platform. I haven't looked at all
distributions, but:

The oldest version supported by the PHP team is 5.3.10. [2]
The oldest version in Debian is 5.2.6. [3]
The oldest version in Ubuntu is 5.2.4. [4]

I wasn't able to find any recent reports about market shares, so I don't
know anything about versions in practical use.

According to our documentation, we're supporting PHP 4.1.0. [5]
What should our supported version be? I'm personally voting for 5.2.4
unless anyone of you can find a major distro that has lower standards.
I don't get any good arguments here, I'm going to change all code I touch
to PHP

That was just speculative on my part.  It's actually Paul who owns the 
html_mail plugin and is working on those changes.

I would appreciate the patches by WJCarpenter (which change the browser

Meanwhile, I try fixing it myself.

Of course, but right now I'm trying to keep it simple. One user asked

Well, I could try that. Gotta dig into the archives.
 

First I'll try with FF and then I might report back with errors (so
far I'm not getting ANY errors)

Thanks for the info. Im using Chromium :| And that particular user was

with those.
