FEW CPanel suggestions

I agree on your first idea and for your second idea just get cPanel XP, its just $7 and they have that.

 

like if you login has the reseller (in the new ver of cpanel 10

 

My wish list:

1. Roundcube

2. Ruby on Rails

3. Ability to email ALL email accounts on the server. For example, we are contemplating a move to maildir format and want to be sure all users are aware of the changes. Im concerned that the webmaster contact for each account will be too lazy to pass on the information to each of their email users (such as for large nonprofits and corps we host). Would be great if there was a way to email all email users.

4. A tool like Mailwatch (without needing Mailscanner) where we can watch in real time email being delivered along with the to/from and subject of the email.

5. ASSP.

Looks like feature request and should be submitted to the following,


This site allows both users and developers as well as other interested parties to submit and track bugs and feature requests.

http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/

 

I vote add @Mail Webmail for the new Cpanel one, this is one of the best out there

 

@Mail is not free software, so I dont think it will be added.

 

roundcube rox.

 

The actual bugzilla ID for roundcube is here:

Looke like cP11 will now detect it if it is installed. Integration sounds like it is up to you.

It sure has been in Beta for a long time. It'd be nice if cP could figure out the resource usage deal and just take the existing source and fork it to something fully in house.

Call it cP Webamil or something like that. Anything to get rid of that retched Horde.

Squirrelmail is OK for PDA's but archaic by today's standards for what clients expect to see on their new shiney Vista systems and $199 20-inch LCD flatscreens.

Squirrelmail and Horde both remind me of something I'd see when I had Windows 98 / RHEL 7.3 and a 15 inch CRT.

I bet they are going to look really tacky with the new X3 interface! hehe. Well they way things are moving lately I am sure it won't be long before we have a webmail client that is not so dated and un-user friendly as Horde.

 

X3 and Horde/SquirrelMail go hand in hand .. all of them look like they were designed in the last decade/century/millenium

 

What makes you dislike the X3 theme and why do you think it is dated?

 

so, where do customers find out about these new things..
I dont recall seeing an announcement about the ruby on rails scripts, etc..
you guys do yourselves a disservice by not communicating updates/features very well to customers.

As for roundcube.. I dont know why it's been so long since they've done an update, but I've been running it on my servers since the latest beta came out in december.
I've no idea how many of my clients use it, but I've not really noticed any issues on the server when it's in use.

 

changelog.cpanel.net:

We noticed significant issues w/ speed on a mail server with less than 100 users. We continue to keep an eye on it and will add if it is up to par. Of note, if Roundcube is installed, it will be detected and will show up for clients in cPanel 11.

 

I guess we disagree somewhat on what counts as communication...
changelog.cpanel.net appears not to have the ability to do any kind of sorting by version.. IE. "I'd like to select MY version, and then see a list of features"
that'd be one possibility.

as it is, I'd either have to check the changelog every day, and then hope that an obscure note about adding something in scripts meant that a particularly functionality was supported.

I suppose, given WHM is also part of the package, if something were majorish, it would have an associated button or option in the whm config?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I think new customers certainly wouldn't sift through 2 years of changelogs to see if somethings supported... it also doesn't really tell people how to use it.

I realize documentation is a daunting task, but there's got to be a better way

 

I nominate freedman to be the maintainer of changelogs!

 

hahahaha, that's when the changelog used to be updated. Judging by the changelog, the latest build available is 11.1 (build 9566) - EDGE Tree which we know is false. How are we to know what has changed between versions is the changelog is ultra-stale?

 

While the changelogs may be a little terse right now I know the cP devs have their hands full introducing the new front-end, and other fun things like the new easy apache among other things.

I would venture to speculate that they are burried right now in getting things up to snuff and released as soon as possible and would prefer to spend time getting the code right than writing a paragraph about every single change.

Maybe after the dust settles we will get some more descriptive changelogs but for now I am happy to see things like a new interface and apache2 support.
