In summary, 'contacts list' incorporated on the 'mail' page worked ok with a
slightly modified 0.8-SVN.
The sample code in the 0.8-SVN with the contacts list
on the 'compose' page was a great help. I was able to move the contacts
list onto the 'mail' page by doing the following:
* moving the new address/contacts list function declarations
('rcmail_adressbook_list' and 'rcmail_contacts_list') from
'program/steps/mail/compose.inc' to 'program/steps/mail/func.inc'
(incidentally for various reasons I think it would be easier if
mail/func.inc was actually mail/mail.inc, etc - it would reduce the
challenge of making Roundcube less 'modal' a bit anyway)
* moving the add_handlers for 'adressbooks' and 'addresslist' from
compose.inc to func.inc
* In 'program/js/apps.js', moving the contactslist/adressbookslist code UP
from the "if (this.env.action == 'compose').." section into the main
"switch (this.task) { case 'mail': .." section. The contactslist code can
still be bracketed with an "if (this.gui_objects.contactslist).." condition
so it is only executed when a contact list is present on the page (as
opposed to using the "if action=compose" type condition which limits it to
the compose page...
So I've had some success with the contacts list on the left of the main
mail page - BIG thanks to Thomas for the platform and the support. If
you're interested (I assume not ) there's a screenshot on the first mail
of the thread a couple of days ago on this topic of what a 'contact-centric'
email client based on Roundcube could actually look like.
