templates/prefs/overview.inc

[Joshua E Warchol]

Greetings,

I was talking to Chuck Hagenbuch on the [IMP] list about making it easier
for admins to add custom entries in IMP's "Options" page. Right now support
exists for adding any custom "prefGroups" you want. And you can define 
indivitual "_prefs" as links to other pages. But if the only entries in
a prefGroup are links, you get an awkward page that lists only links, yet
still has "Save Options" and "Undo Changes" buttons. There are no actual 
Horde Preferences on the page. 

Someone correctly pointed out that if you're not saving a pref, don't 
use prefs.php.  After a bit of going around I saw the error of my ways. 
But I was left with a problem. There is no "nice" way to put custom
links in the "Options" page. 

So I propose a change to $HORDE_BASE/templates/prefs/overview.inc to allow
prefGroups entries to have a "url" attribute. If this attribute is present, 
the value is used in place of "prefs.php?group=..."

I have written the following chunk of code, insert it into the file at 
line 25 (below groupIsEditable):

    <? if (isset ($gvals['url'])): ?>
        <tr><td class="control"><a class="widget" href="<?= Horde::applicationUrl($gvals['url']) ?>"><b><?= $gvals['label'] ?></b></a></td></tr>
    <? else: ?>
        <tr><td class="control"><a class="widget" href="<?= Horde::applicationUrl('prefs.php?group=' . $group) ?>"><b><?= $gvals['label'] ?></b></a></td></tr>
    <? endif; ?>

I know 3.1 is feature frozen (darn... just missed it), please consider this
change for future releases. Here is an example prefGroups entry:

$prefGroups['dsloom'] = array(
    'column' => _("Your Information"),
    'label' => "Configure Away Message",
    'desc' => "Set an out-of-office message.",
    'members' => array(''),
    'url' => "dslautoresponder.php"
);

$prefGroups['dslforw'] = array(
    'column' => _("Your Information"),
    'label' => "Configure Forwarding",
    'desc' => "Set addresses to forward copies of your email to.",
    'members' => array(''),
    'url' => "dslforwarders.php"
);

Comments?

Let's see the changes - this is definitely something we should support 
down the road.

No, you just have to tell it to use Horde's.
