Cool

It's annoying how the buttons are cut off, and that they appear when nothing is selected. The X button is also nonstandard

From how the formspec is designed, it's very likely that cheapie's layout was not changed at all (a mod repost, kinda). I'd also like to see these buttons to be wider - maybe move them to the bottom of the list for more horizontal space?

Or use icons and tooltips

Yeah, i forked cheapies repo and changed some code behind the curtains (UI) to get the webmail interface working.
The ui enhancements are still on my list of items to do.

My future plans include:

• UI enhancements (minetest)
• UI enhancements (web)
• Attachment support (send items with mail) https://github.com/thomasrudin-mt/mail/issues/2
• Better scaling storage https://github.com/thomasrudin-mt/mail/issues/4
• Web-Push messages https://github.com/thomasrudin-mt/mail/issues/6

How to use it for Windows?

How to use it for Windows?

I don't know yet how to deal properly with those exotic/non-standard platforms.
The installation requirements should be the same with windows, only node and npm at the moment.
See: https://github.com/thomasrudin-mt/mail/ ... stallation

Download nodejs from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and npm should be bundled with it...

Progress update 2019-01-15

Thanks to rubenwardy for his ui and lua enhancements.
The formspec looks more pleasing now (as good as formspecs go anyway:)

I added a few points to the roadmap, where i want this project to go in the next few months:

Is it possible to set it up in a way that all players can email the server admin (and vice versa), but not each other?

Is it possible to set it up in a way that all players can email the server admin (and vice versa), but not each other?

This is certainly possible by modifying the mod, or by creating another mod, but there's no setting for this yet.

Here's a quick mod to make a priv for it:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_privilege("mail")

local old = mail.send
mail.send = function(src, dst, subject, body)
    if not minetest.check_player_privs(dst, { kick = true }) and 
            not minetest.check_player_privs(src, { mail = true }) then
        minetest.chat_send_player(src, "You are only allowed to mail moderators! Missing priv: mail")
        return false
    end

    return old(src, dst, subject, body)
end

Thanks. That's helpful.

Update : the mail mod has now been upgraded a lot, and is on ContentDB (no longer needed to download from GitHub) :

(this is a bit promotional :p)

[Sokomine]

It's a very useful mod and a great help.

Busy at the time, but 1.4.0 is quietly coming. A complete list of (planned) upcoming features are listed here.

You can always open an issue, pull request to add your work.

The biggest deal for this release is to fix database corruptions. The source of this bug was found and fixed, but a script to fix the impacted databases has to be developed.

For now, we have added non-player recipients (e.g advtrains), spam features, we've reworked settings page (now generated, the adding of new settings is very easy), and made many bug fixes.
