Short: Web interface for YAM
Author: laursen@myself.com (Jacob Laursen)
Uploader: laursen@myself.com (Jacob Laursen)
Version: 1.3
Type: comm/www
Replaces: comm/www/WebYAM.lha
Requires: YAM 2.3+, Apache
CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.2:
==========================
- Fixed version check bug.
- Sent folders will now have the "To:" name displayed instead of
the "From:" name.
CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.1:
==========================
- Optimized folder scan drastically (YAM 2.2 feature)
- Added advanced compose mode
- One more security exploit eliminated
(HTML tags in subject wasn't translated)
- Signature is no longer added if "Add signature" is de-selected
(work-around for bug in YAM).
CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.0:
==========================
- Added configuration options
- Added URL links in mails
- Improved security (exploit eliminated)
- Two separators in a row is now supported
Bonus: Added TextMode.rexx to the archive. It's an old script I used for
reading mail via a telnet before WebYAM was born.
WebYAM is a CGI script (written in ARexx) to access YAM folders from a web
browser. To use the script you must install a web server, i.e. Apache. A
static Internet connection would also come in handy, since there's really
no reason to access your YAM folders from a local browser. ;-)
Since I only made the script for my own use, I haven't bothered to write a
lot of documentation. In fact, this readme is all you get. But here's some
hints about how to get started:
- In the top of the script itself, change YAMPath and Cfg.#? to your
needs.
- Do not rename the script.
- In your web server, make sure the directory WebYAM is placed in is
password-protected. There's no built-in security! Please do not ask
me how to setup your web server.
If you find bugs, feel free to contact me. Also, feature requests will
make no harm, but I currently do not have any major improvement plans
since WebYAM already does what I needed in the first place.
Thanks to Ash Thomas for the NewIcons (he kindly gave me permission to
include them in the archive, after I converted them to GIF).
KNOWN BUGS:
- Be careful with the 'Compose' facility. YAM 2.2 has a serious bug in
one of the used ARexx commands.
- The URL linker is not perfect yet, but should be sufficient for most
common references.
Have fun,
Jacob Laursen
