[Postfixadmin-devel] writing a 3rd party user insert

[Brad <br...@ny...>]

I am writing an application that needs to add a user to postfix and we are
on a postfixadmin standard.

A quick glance at the database structure and it looks like you guys took
care of all the hard work.

I detect a form of a hook in your code, any special advice on the SQL
insert, such that will update all the appropriate fields?

 

Thank you in advance,

Brad

There's an easier way than working on the SQL level ;-)

Checkout the latest code from SVN trunk. It contains a commandline 
client for PostfixAdmin which does all the hard work ;-)

The commandline client is not fully implemented yet (for example, 
deleting something is still missing), but creating and editing admins, 
domains, mailboxes and aliases should work without problems.

Note: You'll need to run setup.php to upgrade your database.

If you find any bugs besides the "not yet implemented" parts, please 
tell me ;-) (or open a bugreport on SF)


If the application you write is written in PHP, it might also be an 
option to directly use the PostfixAdmin classes. If you are interested, 
just ask about the details ;-)

Wow, thank you.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
I write code too and will look into the delete issue because that will be
needed to, but you already solved my issue.
Thank you!

Cheers!
Brad

I'll happily accept your patch ;-)

If you implement it, please do it in the following way:

a)
in scripts/shells/shell.php, function loadTasks(), there is already (line 210)

                                if ($taskName == 'Add' || $taskName == 'Update') {
                                    $taskClass = 'CliEdit';

Please add directly below:

                                } elseif ($taskName == 'Delete') {
                                    $taskClass = 'CliDelete';

b)
The next step is to write a model/CliDelete.php (similar to 
model/CliEdit.php) that uses the $somethingHandler (model/*Handler.php)
to delete $something

c)
Finally model/*Handler.php will need delete() functions added or fixed
(see the TODO notes there, and delete.php for the currently used code)

d) 
(optional cleanup)
Delete the then superfluous DeleteTask classes from scripts/shells/*.php
