Email Management System

Hey Chaps!
Im a new user to phpNuke (v7.2).
Am quite impressed with it! Customisability is impressive!

Got a question for anyone that can help me.

My Site: www.auotst.com (americas army (game) clan page)

What I would like to do is set up a email login page for Nuke. Currently to access the email that my hosting provides, i must use the link to the port 2095 (eg www.auotst.com:2095).
I would like, if i can, to install a script (preferrably php, but CGI/Perl is ok) that logs in without redirecting to the cpanel page. Basically if you look at any site that provides webmail they all have some type of login page - thats what im looking to do without cpanel!

I have 3 webmail program choices. 1.Neomail; 2.Horde; 3.Squirrelmail (same as Yahoo! uses).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Chris Very Happy

Scratch the post i made (now deleted) regarding the solving of my problem.
After actually installing the software, it does not provide an email gateway as the product description and documentation suggested.

So my original questions stands! Smile

Any help appreciated!

I know what your all thinking - he likes to post to himself Laughing

!

Anyway,
Perhaps there is another way i can address my problem.
Does anyone know of a phpNuke block which allows direct logon to email via username/password?

I think something like this would make a useful project for someone with the coding skills, which unfortunately i do not have! Sad

Modification to suit the way i would need it to run (at writers permission of course) is fine, but compiling something like this is above me! <sigh>

Cheers Guys,
Chris

OK OK OK! Ill stop talking to myself soon.

I found a script on the net which does what i require. It is simple javascript html, and i modified it to suit me. If anyone would like a post of the script let me know. To see what the login page appears to be, click the link.

http://mail.auotst.com

You only see the login page there, but also a registry fix to change the fact that you need to support username and password in the address bar (and an example of what i mean there too!). I could not see any other way of submitting the logon details with my lack of code developing skills! Confused

lol!

Cheers guys,
Chris

If you are using squirrell mail:

(It needs modification):

taken from:

For those of you using PhPNuke with Squirrelmail, the following is a block that automagically adds the preset domain name after the user name so if you're lazy like me it's less typing. Simply copy, paste into a file called block-squirrelmail or whatever and activate from w/in Nuke. Gotchas: Make sure to modify to suit your needs. Make sure the text is formatted properly.

I've tried this block several times with no luck.
I've changed the action to read http://xxx:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php" target="_blank">\n";

Whether I do that or not I get an error about an unexpected \ around line 40.

Has anyone had better luck?

Thanks!
