RoundCube with Captcha Security Image and mvision skin support

RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking.

The text above is from the RoundCube Webmail Project website. RoundCube is indeed a very interesting webmail project. It is using Web 2.0 technologies and is highly customable. The team behind the project is certainly creating one of the best webmail applications ever!

For a couple of week ago I was browsing through the RoundCube forum and found a template called mvision made by Miha. I was totally baffled since it is a very good looking skin and it is working very well.

Localization

RoundCube is supporting a lot of languages. I have only localized two of the language files to support localized captcha security text field description (Swedish and English). All other languages are showing “Security Code”.

Prerequisite

PHP5 and GD-library with support for freetype is needed for the captcha function

2008-10-01 Update

Added support for mvision2 and also updated roundcube to 0.2beta. Source package is removed from server.

2009-02-15 Update

  • Upgraded to round cube 0.2 stable.
  • Fixed configuration problem
  • Integrated mvision 2.2
  • Added captcha javascript reload function on login page (se picture in this blog post)

2009-03-10 Update

  • Reworked zippackage, fixed some typos etc (thanks to Cyril DUCHENOY for his feedback)

Download complete source roundcube 0.2stable_mvision2.2captcha.zip (4.6MB).

Download svn patch roundcube 02stable_captcha (178KB) with default theme only

Download svn patch rcube 0.2stable _mvision2.2captcha.patch (232KB)

    I would like to know whether you have the PSD of the buttons so that I can edit the names to the Portuguese – Brazil, if you want to know how you have put them to download.

    Check the RoundCube forum and ask the author of the skin.

    Hi!

    Is it working for you? I have a problem. After patching and enabling the use_captcha, i can\’t login. It seems not to compare the right values (captcha image vs. typed in), but these are the same… have you any idea?
    Thank a lot,
    T

    Yes, it is working for me. But I have not updated the code to the last roundcube release. I will check it out, but it will take some time since I am on holiday.

  • 2008-10-01 at 20:35:37 |

    The code is now updated. Read at the end of my blog post.

    Upgraded to roundcube 0.2 stable, fixed some problems and added support for captcha reload.

    I will redo the captcha patch and make it as a plugin for roundcube 0.3. RC

    Right now I am on vacation.

    There are a captcha plugin for roundcube 0.3RC here: http://code.google.com/p/myroundcube/ (I have not tested it)

    even from your svn patch roundcube 02stable_captcha , the captcha isn’t working. Its directly going to login page without any captcha attempt.
