How To's / Automatically update Dashboard contents

« on: November 02, 2011, 01:09:38 am »

Hey all,

Is there a way (or has someone hacked it) to get the dashboard to update at regular intervals?

If it's possible, I'd like FO to poll the server every XX minutes and update the contents of the new emails, notes, etc., automatically.

I see the ajax (?) "Loading" pop-up in the upper margin every so often, I thought this is what it was doing???

Any thoughts??
Cheers,
Tim

How To's / Separate attachement from email

« on: October 30, 2011, 04:45:19 pm »

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked/answered, I searched but didn't come up with anything.

Is there a way to remove an attachment from the email once it is retrieved into FO? We have customers that email graphics & artwork (samples, sketches, etc). The attachments are stored elsewhere (different repository system) and we would like to keep ONLY the email portion in FO.

Is this possible or have I missed something somewhere?

How To's / HELP!! Drowning in emails.....

« on: October 24, 2011, 03:54:08 am »

This is weird - and as no one else has asked about it, I obviously missed something somewhere. (We're running FO 1.7.5)

Our problem is when we delete an email,
1. the system sends a message saying we've sent it to the trash
2. when we delete the message telling us we've sent it to the trash......
 
3. we get another message telling us that the message (the previous one telling us we sent it to the trash) has been sent to the trash.....

The latest subject header looks like this:
"Email 'Email 'Email 'RE: test' has been sent to trash' has been sent totrash' has been sent to trash by Admin."

Heeeelppppp....

My take on FO:

I read messages about people yammering and complaining, but for an Open Source package I think you guys are doing a great fantastic job!!!

Some of these complainers figure that just because it's free no one should make money, oh ya, that's right it IS free. if you want FOSky or prioirity support you pay for - what's the problem with that???

Looking forward to seeing FO 2 pull out of beta (any hints or dates in mind??)

Thanks,
Tim

Getting Started / WebDAV alternative?? AjaXplorer??

« on: October 11, 2011, 09:46:24 pm »

Hey all,

Brand new here, just downloaded FO, installed it and works like a charm!! Kudos to the Feng-meisters!  

Well actually the installation botched the first time (I installed FO 2 beta, without realizing it....)

I was looking to figure out a better system of file Storage. We have several GB's of customer art files, collateral, etc that need to be accessible. I needed to figure a way to keep these files outside of FO, but still accessible from FO.

Came up with AjaXplorer (www dot ajaxplorer.info), looks pretty slick!

Now then, I read a few FO postings about Hello World, integrating, etc, and frankly, by the time I get this figured out we'll be up to FO v5 and probably using neural-connectors....
 (Although I guess I'm not that bad. I read the cnet review from Matt... I wonder if this guy tried downloading Apache and wondered why he couldn't use it to browse the web  )

Anyhow, has anyone looked/seen AjaXplorer and any thoughts. I'd be interested to hear them before I delve deeper into the great unknown...

Tim

EDIT:
BTW, this isn't a plug for AjaXplorer, I just really like the looks of it
