[turba] "addressbooks" preference

[Jan Schneider]

Zitat von Andrew Morgan <morgan at orst.edu>:

> I'm running the latest RC releases of Horde, IMP, and Turba.
>
> The comment in turba/config/prefs.php for the "addressbooks" preference says:
>
> // Address books to be displayed in the address book selection widget
> // and in the Browse menu item.  The address book name is stored using
> // the source key from sources.php (e.g. "localsql").  Separate
> // entries with "\n" , e. g. 'value' => "localsql\nlocalldap" (the
> // double quotes are REQUIRED).  If 'value' is empty (''), all address
> // books that the user has permissions to will be listed.
>
> In particular, it says if the value is empty that all address books  
> will be listed.
>
> However, if the user does not have this preference set to something,  
> the Address Book widget from IMP behaves strangely.  The IMP Address  
> Book widget calls the Turba API "search" function.  The "search"  
> function calls Turba::getAddressBookOrder() to validate the list of  
> sources provided.  If the "addressbooks" preference is empty,  
> Turba::getAddressBookOrder() returns an empty array and all sources  
> are removed.  Then, the "search" function adds back in the default  
> source.
>
> In my installation, there are 3 Turba sources: localsql, localldap,  
> and favourites.  The IMP Address Book widget lists all 3 in the  
> search form, but no matter which one I choose, it always searches  
> the "localsql" source (my default).
>
> I fixed this problem by setting the "addressbooks" preference to  
> "localsql\nlocalldap\nfavourites" and locking it.
>
> However, it would be nice if the search form behaved better.  Maybe  
> Turba::getAddressBookOrder() could return all address books that the  
> user has permission to, in some random order, if the "addressbooks"  
> preference is empty?  Or perhaps the IMP Address Book widget should  
> only allow you to select from addressbooks that will actually be  
> used in the search.
>
> Let me know if you want me to file this as a bug.

Yes, please do.
