Roundcube Webmail ThreeCol

This plugin adds an option to the mailbox settings to enable the user to display the preview pane either to the right had side of the message list or below it.

Jaime_Pomales created a patch to give the default skin a three column layout this patch was the inspiration for the plugin and also provided some of the changes which need to be made to the default skin

roundcube-plugin-threecol-layout's Issues

Broken in Roundcube v1.1.0

I see this is broken again. This time worse, if you eneable the plugin and swith pane to the right, it breaks, the only way to fix it is to remove the plugin from config.

plugin doesn't work with RoundCube 1.0

@nagyrobi wrote in #4:

I'm also notifying that unfortunately this great plugin doesn't work on Roundcube 1.0. I've tested it in a standalone setup and in a complete kolab environment. See below:

• when the user logs in, the messages list appears shrinked correctly, but the preview panel is missing completely.
• clicking the little arrow on the bottom to close/open it displays a white panel which doesn't contain anything, selecting an e-mail doesn't display it
• clicking again the little arrow on the bottom to close/open the panel will not close it, but will display the message
• from this step on, previewing works, but if the user switches to contacts panel and back to e-mail, he/she has to do all the above again.

Since having three-column display trivial on my setup, unfortunately this prevents me from upgrading to the latest available Roundcube.
Note that on the previous 0.9.5 it works perfectly. It's broken on 1.0.

Suggestion: default message list pane width setting

It would be nince if this plugin had a setting (maybe per-user, but global would be useful anyway) with the default value of the message list pane width. As far as I could see in the code this is hardcoded to 700px.

This would be useful for the case when the user has threaded view enabled by default. In this case, message subjects of the deeper thread elements can be hard to read, thus a wider messages list can be handful (850px).

A config file setting would be very nice for this.
