Title: Viewing images in attached word documents in Horde
Post by: holck on January 28, 2007, 09:26:09 PM

I have previously posted how to do this in SME server version 6; this is a suggestion for version 7.1

When viewing attached word documents in Horde, pictures are not shown.
The reason, I found out, is that wvhtml writes embedded images in the /tmp directory, whereas the web server tries to find them in the /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/ directory.

I have made a few patches to make the images show, as explained below.

Copy the file 85HordeAccess from

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
to

Code: [Select]


/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
Add the following lines to the new copy of 85HordeAccess, after the line

Code: [Select]

# Horde specific configuration files:

Code: [Select]

<Directory /tmp>
  <FilesMatch "msword.*">
     Order Allow,Deny
     Allow from all
  </FilesMatch>
</Directory>
Create the directory

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts
Copy the file 30WebMailAliases from

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts/
to

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts/
after this line

Code: [Select]


        $OUT .= "    Alias       /$place   $dirs{$place}\n";

in the new copy of 30WebMailAliases, add the following two lines

Code: [Select]

       $OUT .= "    RewriteEngine on\n";
        $OUT .= "    RewriteRule ^/horde/imp/msword(.+) /tmp/msword\$1 [L]\n";
Expand the new template:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf    
Restart httpd:

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
That is it, I hope it works. The solution opens a small security hole: if outsiders can guess the names of msword* files in the /tmp directory, they can read these files.
