Topic: Webmail "look and Feely"

OK here's what I would "like" to do . . .

I would like to do two things

1) Customize the Login Page of Imp to include some colour and also some "warnings" from www.sophos.com

2) possibly provide Twiggi as an alternative interface for my office workers.

Could someone tell me if either is possible and what preperation would be needed to install twiggi on sme 5.6

Thanks

Sharif

search on here for many threads pointing to Twiggi installs and configuration settings for sme 5.6. Its simple - just make sure servers and clients time settings are approx the same.

See www.horde.org for info on messing around with IMP look and feel. Only changes between the "standard" Horde and the sme version is that Mitel have implemented some of the settings using their template system so to change it you'll need to create custom templates from their original versions.

Will give you some basic themes to review. Great place to start as you can look and unpack the archives and look to the changes made there hint's on how to make the changes.

Sharif, Bob, Doug et al...
Could anyone point me into the right direction how the Horde team actually accomplished combining this demo

I am real nonplussed by the lack of doku ... reading up&down doesn't help and just installing what is below imp - email
troll  - for discussions
agora - for  forum
turba - address
moment - meeting
kronolith - calendar
mnemo - notes
nag - tasks
genie - wishlists
trean - bookmarks
...doesn't give you the nice "left-frame-menu".
I really would like to give Horde a real push. It seems that I could leave my laptop and pda at home and just grab basically any browser-pc to do every-thing I want on the e-smith at home ...
... if I only could get SOME INFO ON HOW TO START INSTALLING all that additional HORDE stuff...

Anyone done it around here?
Anyone give me a push in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance

I've had a look. Seems you'll have to get your hands quite dirty.

First step would be to leave your current installation intact

Then perhaps make a "newhorde" folder at the same level as your current horde folder.

Already it gets ugly - you need to tell the httpd.conf about this new location.

Once you have done that, go to http://ftp.horde.org/pub/snaps/latest/ and get the components you want to play with (horde, turba, imp, kronolith, nag, mnemo, etc.) then untar them into your new horde2 directory - start reading the docs/INSTALL for each package - starting with the horde framework itself.

This will be bleeding edge stuff, and once you invest time going down this route, you can probably kiss goodbye to the RPM releases from Dan Brown et. al.

Well, maybe this gives you a push in the right direction?

See, I just tried to setup Jonah from the nightly snaps - it seems the horde framework that it's looking to use is sufficiently more recent than the version I have installed - it won't play ball. I am not sufficiently motivated to consider updgrading the whole horde framework (and then I guess IMP, kronolith, etc, etc, as well.) so I quit.

Horde full install

Guessed that bleeding part already
and when I started reading the "horde framework" a bit more I was quite pushed back .-)
...
...now you tell me I'll loose Dan's  - No WAY!
...
Thanks for having a look anyway (*_*)
