#81 Enhancement suggestions

[Michael D Young]

I would like to submit the following enhancments.
For me they make navigation easier.

1) Alternating hilites for messages

action.php - line 670

$hilite = ' hilite';
// Include this once for each line of the
// message index
while ($tmp = array_shift($tab_mail)) {
require ('./html/html_inbox.php');
if ($hilite == '') $hilite = ' hilite';
else $hilite = '';
}

style.css
.hilite {
background-color: #FEEC85;
}

2) Inbox Menu Folder navigation

function.php
function buildfolderlink($folder)
{
// split the string at the periods
$elements = explode('.',$folder);
$folderpath = "";
for ($i=0;$i<count($elements);$i++) {
if ($i > 0) {
$folderpath = $folderpath . ".";
echo ".";
}
$folderpath = $folderpath . $elements[$i];
echo "<a href=\"". $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?folder=" . $folderpath . "\">" . $elements[$i] . "</a>";
}

echo "\n";
}

html/menu_inbox.php line 36
<td class="<?php echo $classInbox; ?>">
<?php buildfolderlink($_SESSION['nocc_folder']); ?>
</td>

NOCC 1.5 will have support for this, but only the "standard" theme use it by default!

For other themes you can use code like this in the style.css:

--------------------8<--------------------
#inboxTable .odd {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

#inboxTable .even {
background-color: #F0F0F0;
}
-------------------->8--------------------

I like the idea, but I want to optimize the navigation anyway a little bit. So I will wait with this patch until I have a plan for the new navigation.

Tim : about #2, try to avoid committing new enhancements before I release NOCC 1.5. I plan to do this on January 1st. I prefer to fix any coming bugs before this date.

For few days before a release, this changes are to big! And I also want your comment about MacOS browsers for big CSS changes. So this are things for 1.6... ;)

But I use Michael's buildfolderlink() function now to make the "currentInbox" view to a breadcrumb navigation for IMAP accounts! Thanks for your code Michael!!!

I think the RFE can now be closed.

Fixed in CVS.

It'll be included in next release.

But you can donwload daily snapshots at :

Thanks for the feature request.
