This plugin adds left/right/down swipe actions to entries in the the message list on touch devices (tables/phones).

License

This plugin is released under the GNU General Public License Version 3+.

Even if skins might contain some programming work, they are not considered as a linked part of the plugin and therefore skins DO NOT fall under the provisions of the GPL license. See the README file located in the core skins folder for details on the skin license.

Install

• Place this plugin folder into plugins directory of Roundcube
• Add swipe to $config['plugins'] in your Roundcube config

NB: When downloading the plugin from GitHub you will need to create a directory called skin and place the files in there, ignoring the root directory in the downloaded archive.

Supported skins

• Elastic

Supported browsers

This plugin relies on Pointer Events with fallback support for Touch Events and should work in any browser which supports either of these, such as: Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. When used with Edge there is no support for vertical swipe actions, this is because the browser does not support the touch-action: pan-down; CSS property - bug report. There is no support for Internet Explorer.

Configuration

To set the default actions add the following to your Roundcube config file:

$config['swipe_actions'] = array(
    'messagelist' => array(
        'left' => '<action>',
        'right' => '<action>',
        'down' => '<action>'
    ),
    'contactlist' => array(
        'left' => '<action>',
        'right' => '<action>',
        'down' => 'none'
    )
);

Replace <action> with your desired action from the list below. Users can configure the actions, overriding the defaults, from the List Options menu.

• swipe_actions.list - e.g. swipe_actions.mesasgelist Prevent overriding of the swipe actions on a specific list, e.g. mesasgelist
• swipe_actions.list.direction - e.g. swipe_actions.mesasgelist.left Prevent overriding of the swipe actions on a specific list and direction

Interaction with other plugins

The swipe_actions hook is triggered when the plugin starts up on the list options menu. Arguments:

• list_type - the name of list the swipe actions are being performed on, e.g. messagelist, used when selecting/saving config
• actions - an array of actions for this list in the format:

$args['actions'] = array(
    'list_name' => '*JS list object name*',
    'selection_id' => '*JS element identifier e.g. UID*',
    'vertical' => array(
        '*action_name*' => array('label' => '*display name*'),
        ...
    ),
    'horizontal' => array(
        '*action_name*' => array('label' => '*display name*'),
        ...
    )
);

Return values:

• list_type
• actions

The swipe-action JS event is triggered when a swipe action is performed. Return false to abort the action or return a JSON object like this to assign an action:

{
  'class': '<class name for the action box>',
  'text': '<text displayed in the action box>',
  'callback': function(p) { <your action here> },
  'command': '<roundcube command>'
};

Note: Only 1 of callback and command need to be supplied. If no callback is defined then the command is passed to the standard Swipe callback function.
