[SM-PLUGINS] Alias Plugin.. how?!

[Radwan A. <ra...@em...>]

Hi all!

I'm new to SquirrelMail..

I want to give the user the ability of creating Aliases (unlimited).. or even to put a button.. when he press on it.. a random Alias would be generated..

How can I make that as a plugin? my mail server is "hMailSerer".. which has a mySQL database.. contains the accounts.. aliases... and everything.. so I know how to add aliases using PHP.. but I want to add this to the SquirrelMail as a button in the main page.. and when the user clicks on it. it will show him a text box asking him to enter the alias he wants..

So, what are the main things to make a plugin for SquirrelMail? Can I program it as a normal PHP file asking the DB for some information.. then I can add few lines in the header.. and then finished? or I must use some specific functions?? or how?


Please help me with this ASAP..


Yours sincerely,
Radwan Aladdin
