[imp] Re: Réf. : Default From Address for new users

[Kevin Myer]

You need to write a function called _prefs_horde_expand_from_addr in
horde/conf/hooks.php that returns the result you want (for Horde 3.X).  
I'm not
sure what version you're using if you have a hooks.php file in imp/conf 
but you
should be able to adapt this, to that version.

In horde/conf/prefs.php, find the preference you want to set by default
(from_addr) and add the following line at the end of that section:
'hook' => 'true'

So it looks like:
// user full name for From: line
$_prefs['from_addr'] = array(
    'value' => '',
    'locked' => true, //Lock this if you don't want them to change it
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'text',
    'desc' => _("Your From: addresses:"),
    'hook' => true
);


That way, when a user first logs in and their default preferences are 
being set,
the function you wrote in the hooks file will be called to return the result
you want, not whatever the Horde defaults are.

For the specific situation of converting john.example.com, you'll just need to
write a function that replaces the first "." between john and example 
with an @
sign.

For Horde 3.X:
if (!function_exists('_prefs_hook_from_addr')) {

   function _prefs_hook_from_addr($user = null)
// splits off the first part of the name, inserts an @ sign and fills in the
// rest of the domain
// Probably could also do just $fromaddr = strtok($user,"."); and let
// IMP/Horde handle the domain

$fromaddr = strtok($user,".") . "@" . $strtok("");
return $fromaddr;
}

If you name your function imp_expand_fromaddress, just
s/_prefs_hook_from_addr/imp_expand_fromaddress/.

No warranties that the code is right but it should get you the result you want
with a little hacking (but don't blame me if it destroys your Horde install :)
