The admin link has a form to create a new list - not something you'd use if you didn't have the root password. It may be just easier to turn all these links off, unless you're logged in as root. > My only concern here is the wording. I can hear it now: > "...'Administration'?

It's my hope to be able to have Dada Mail blend into an already existing site and extend the site's functionality and content without having it look like, well, a program you've installed. The default looks is fine I guess - the goal is to make it simple and somewhat bare bones, perhaps to enti ...Continue Reading

Justin, are you one of only a few who "intermingles" Dada Mail with your other site content/design in this way? or (to your knowledge) is it quite common? I have a nice solution to the problem you describe, but the exact details -- as they apply to the *default* Dada Mail ...Continue Reading

Here are a few corrections and revisions to my examples of the new, more customization-friendly markup at the bottom of: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dadadev/20050823020009/ - Two other widgets, "root_login_message" and "help_links", could've been shown in the admin page also. [After all, when they *are* enabled, they're global rather than screen-specific. It was kind of a toss-up, really.] - id="Breadcrumbs" should have been shown in lowercase. - Starting in 2.1 ...Continue Reading

The brilliant thing about the way you've designed that function, Justin, is that it's *perfectly* intuitive. So we don't *need* to explain any of those concepts "in such a ...Continue Reading

While I think could be a good idea, I respectfully submit that it should not be a priority /right now./ The reason is simple: Even if we find a solution that's perfectly gracefully degradable for that *particular* widget, Dada Mail admins using JS-disabled browsers will still have all kinds of *other* problems in ...Continue Reading
