[imp] (imp) LDAP search criteria options

[Michael Stamper]

I did it!  I figured it out, and I also fixed another annoyance along the way.  
I didn't like the way IMP would reset the search fields when choosing a 
different LDAP directory.  We have 8 different address books at our site, 
and the users will not have access to outside directories like Bigfoot, etc., so 
this works for us.  Here's what I did:

I modified 2 files in /horde/imp/templates/contacts:
javascript.inc & ldap-php3.inc

===================
Part One (to expand LDAP search criteria options):

In javascript.inc, I commented out the following lines (lines 279-301 in my 
files, under the function UpdateOptions())

/*            if (attr == "<?php echo $lang->mail; ?>") {
               if (document.ldap_form.ldap_serv.options[0].selected ) {
                  ClearOptions();
                  AddOption("is_strict");
               }
	       
               if (document.ldap_form.ldap_serv.options[1].selected ) {
                  ClearOptions();
                  AddOption("is_strict");
               }
       
               if (document.ldap_form.ldap_serv.options[2].selected ) {
                  ClearOptions();
                  AddOption("is_strict");
               }    
	    }
	    
	    if (attr == "<?php echo $lang->sn; ?>") {
               if (document.ldap_form.ldap_serv.options[1].selected ) {
                  ClearOptions();
                  AddOption("is_strict");
               }  
	    }*/

===================
Part two (to disable auto updating seach fields when changing LDAP directories)

I commented out parts of lines 28 & 45 - to skip "onChange=UpdateSelect()"
Here's what they look like now:
28: <select name="ldap_serv" >  /* onChange=UpdateSelect()> */
45: <select name="attr_type"> /* onChange=UpdateOptions() onLoad=UpdateSelect()> 
*/

I'm certain there are better/cleaner solutions to achieve these results. but 
these seem to work for me...
