Kopano WebApp & sharing contacts -> not shown in the contacts drop down

item

WebApp Version 3.5.5.2276 (based UCS 4.4.3)

One User shared his contacts… working fine, but the colleagues just see the contacts in the contact menu, not in the drop down menu writing a new mail. Ist there any option we have to set?

Thank you!

Hello Forum, got the same behaviour with a Addressbook from public folders.

I added 2 full-postbox, this contatcs are shown i n the dropdown. But when i only add the contacts, they wont show up.

Hi @item,

you have to enable this functionality in the config.php of Kopano WebApp first: https://documentation.kopano.io/webapp_admin_manual/config.html#disable-shared-contact-folders

@Coffee_is_life its the same for the public folder, but there is a dedicated option for it https://documentation.kopano.io/webapp_admin_manual/config.html#enable-public-folders

@fbartels said in Kopano WebApp & sharing contacts -> not shown in the contacts drop down:

both are set

Still:

my contacts in contact-Tab:

my contacts when i click on “to:” while writing a mail:

Postmaster is the only “shared”-store i open completly, all others only the contacts are added or its public.

@Coffee_is_life ah, i’ve linked the one wrong one. you want “Disable public contacts” and not “Enable public folders”

@fbartels
changed the value to false (was on true):

unfortunatly the contacts are still not shown while sending mails
Since i got a seperate webapp-server, do i need to change something in serverconfig aswell? or do i just need some patience?
Connection is made via http socket (if this is important):

@Coffee_is_life sorry I am not too involved with webapp development and just wanted to point out what is written in the documentation.

@fbartels: Thank you - now it works!

Hi@all,

I am digging out this contribution. I changed the configuration in the webapp/config.php a long time ago and it had worked.

However, with some update this function broke. I have now tried to set it via the URC variable and then restarted the Kopano server.

Unfortunately without success. The address book of the user “office”, which I have included and can edit, no longer appears in the selection (new mail).

root@com01:~# cat /etc/kopano/webapp/config.php |grep CONTACT_FOLDER
	define("DISABLE_PUBLIC_CONTACT_FOLDERS", false);
# Warning: the value "DISABLE_SHARED_CONTACT_FOLDERS" has been set via UCR variable "kopano/webapp/config/DISABLE_SHARED_CONTACT_FOLDERS"
define("DISABLE_SHARED_CONTACT_FOLDERS",false);

My system:

UCS 4.4.8
WebApp: 5.1.0.0+167.1
Kopano Core: 8.7.20
Z-Push: 2.6.2.beta1+0-0

HI @pixel
with Webapp 5.x some configuration options names changed (see release notes: https://kopano.com/release/kopano-webapp-5-0-0/ )
Best you compare your webapp/config.php with webapp/config.php.dpkg-dist to see all differences.

For this issue you are looking for these options:

        // Set to true to show public contact folders in address-book folder list,
        // false will hide public contact folders in address-book folder list.
        define("ENABLE_PUBLIC_CONTACT_FOLDERS", true);

        // Set true to hide shared contact folders in address-book folder list,
        // false will show shared contact folders in address-book folder list.
        define("ENABLE_SHARED_CONTACT_FOLDERS", true);

Kind regards
Mathias

Thank you. I have inserted my changes into the new configuration. Now it works as desired.

That means I can delete the UCR variable again?

kopano/webapp/config/DISABLE_SHARED_CONTACT_FOLDERS=false
