[RCD] Menu ideas

[Thomas Bruederli]

Hello Martin

(cc-ing dev mailing list as this answer might be of a common interest)

Roundcube skins define a number of named containers which can be used to
add custom elements from plugins. Seek the skin templates
for <roundcube:container ..> tags to locate them.

For the compose screen, there's the 'composeoptions' container which is
probably the one you want. The plugin API wiki describes how to add
elements to such containers:


https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/wiki/Plugin-API#client-scripts-and-ui-elements

Using JavaScript, this could look like this:

var menu = $('<select>')...
rcmail.add_element(menu, 'composeoptions');

You can also add elements to containers with PHP when the view template is
rendered:

$menu = new html_select(array('name' => 'xxx'));
$menu->add(array(/* add options here */));
$this->api->add_content(
html::span('composeoption', html::label(null, $menu->show() .
$this->gettext('menulabel'))),
'composeoptions'
);

For further questions about Roundcube plugin development, please subscribe
and post to the dev mailing list. This is our dedicated support channel for
development stuff.

Kind regards,
Thomas

This is what I'm trying to archive.

Hello !
I have been struggling some time now to make a menu in compose area, but
I have not been very successful.
First I did a version that adds the menu in settings area that worked
quite well. But the customer was not happy with that.
Then I have been struggling with diffrent solutions and no one really
worked for me.
The best solution I have seen is for Enigma plugin. But it's only working
in Classic skin and ONLY for Enigma.
I have to use Roundcube 1.1.4.
Any good ideas ?
To unpack the file, add .tar.gz
