[webmin-devel] making config change to existing module, adding popup "select users" list

[Mr D. <tl...@co...>]

All,

   I am a perl programmer, and am making some modifications
to the mailboxes/Read User Mail module, which I use to keep
an eye on virus and SPAM activity for the company for which
I work.

   Anyway, I've already implemented a few changes including
configuration options for these changes, but there is one
more than I want to add, and am not sure how to add the
proper/correct config options to make it happen.

   Basically, I want to provide a listing of usernames that
will _not_ be listed in the Read User Mail user list.  For example,
there is no reason to show the uucp user or the games user
or the users for the different daemons that this server runs.
So, I want to include them in a list that will be checked
when showing the users.

   What I would like in the config is to have a text box and
then a [ ... ] button that I can click which will pop up the
user selection popup window, which will populate the textbox.

   I know how to add the textbox item to the config settings,
and I know how to program the mailboxes_lib.pl file to ignore
users in the list, but I don't know how to implement the
system userlist popup button.

   Is this clear?  Is there a way to do this from within a
config option?

   Please ask questions if more information is needed.

   One other thing to ask:

   The things I'm adding basically allow the admin to change how
many columns the usernames get listed in, if the admin wants the
size of the mailbox to be listed below the username instead,
and then the ignore list for users not to show.

   What is the likelihood that Jamie would be willing to
(or want to) incorporate these changes into the module?

Thanks a bunch for your time and help!
