Roundcube (RC) v0.1.1 released today!! Roundcube is the first open source PHP/MySQL browser-based webmail software. It is similar to Yahoo and Google webmails with features like address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking.

I have successfully installed Roundcube for OSWeb2Design. I love it!! At first I had problem of sending email, although receiving email is alright. I checked out the internet and found that some of them also have the same problem. I resolved the email sending problem by clearing the smtp_server in the main.inc.php file and forcing the RC to use PHP mail function, as shown below.

/ use this host for sending mails.
// to use SSL connection, set ssl://smtp.host.com
// if left blank, the PHP mail() function is used
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = ";

// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password RoundCube
// will use the current user's password for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = ";

Rubberdoc is a new document download extension for Joomla 1.5. There are two plus points for this extension compared to the more popular and established Docman and Repository extensions. First, it is Joomla 1.5 native, while Docman and Repository are still in Legacy mode at the point of time of writing. Second, it is simpler. It does not have too much fancy stuff. Basically just category and file creation/upload.

One thing to note for rubberdoc extension is that the upload file size limit follows the Joomla setting. To change to upload file size, you have to go to site configuration and change the media upload size limit as shown in the figure.
