[SM-DEVEL] New plugin for Squirrelmail (SVN devel branch): AJAX suggestions list for addresses.

[Thierry G. <mel...@ya...>]

Greetings,

Now that my "Melinda" plugin is finished, I ended up with a much more friendly
formal message compose form (a form provided by the Melinda plugin) than for
the standard (informal) message compose form of Squirrelmail. The main reason
is that I did sprinkle the PHP code with some AJAX (while retaining full
compatibility for Javascript disabled browsers).

So, I ended up writing a second plugin to bring back the standard compose form
of Squirrelmail on par with mine.

I called this plugin "ajax_suggest", and its task is simply to query
asynchronously the address book (and therefore any LDAP configured in it) while
the user types in the names or addresses into the To, CC or Bcc fields, and to
pull down a list of suggestions the said user can choose from (with a click of
the mouse) to autocomplete the address.

It of course allows to enter several addresses per field, and uses the
fullname, whenever present in the address book, to build full addresses (e.g.
"John Doe" <joh...@fo...>).

It was tested on Firefox 2 (under Linux and Windoze), as well as on IE7, but it
should work just fine with the other modern browsers.

I'm sending it to this list, as I am unsure about how to submit it otherwise.

Regards,

Thierry Godefroy.
