Unofficial working solution for >= TB78

[AlexUkr73]

Good news, I have ported this extension to >=TB78 using Expreriments API:

• showing photos from Local Directory works only in messages headers (not in Composition);
• functionality of showing photos from other places was not tested (not available for me);

• Addon's Options does not work at all as should be totally re-designed to new API (but you can still modify setting from TB Config editor, searching values by "ldapInfo" and toggling/modifying them).

  (don't forget to rename file extension from "zip" to "xpi" before adding) LdapInfo78_experimental2.zip Good luck!

@msebald :

Cool, it works for me. At least when having a brief look for 1 minute just now. Keep you posted.

• what source of contacts photo do you use? I wonder - will it be working for other places except Local Folder (e.g. LDAP, etc.)

[msebald]

@AlexUkr73 you are right, I only use local.

And I do not find the options of the addon. Only this, which looks weird:

@msebald : sorry, I forgot to remove my "trereerer..." testing garbage ;o) In order to make preferences (options) work - some changes in layout (showing Options dialog in old manner) and in code (saving options approach due to new TB78 policy) is needed. I tried to move them to the new reels, but my attempts totally damaged addon functionality, so it was published as is. For those, who used previous versions of addon - this does not matter as all options were already saved in main TB user preferences file "prefs.js". For new (clean) systems (like my friends as victims of testing) - it is possible to configure with built-in TB Configuration Console (some kind of Linux way ;o). Anyway - i don't position my solution as "tested and ready for use". I've just shown that the light in the tunnel end is possible.

Add-on preferences (options) now can be displayed (run from Tools > Add-on Options) in new unofficial version 3:

• "Browse" button (to select Directory for local photos) does not work. Directory path can be entered manually (textbox left to "Browse" button) and system is able to save it. I also doubt about some other settings, related to add-on position, icons size, etc. LdapInfo78_experimental3.zip

Have you considered forking this repo and just linking to your fork in this issue? It would make tracking the source a lot more effective than having to download the zip files from the comments and then diff them to see what has changed.

[AlexUkr73]

linkp - OK, seems all issues are fixed with this last update. I'm not going to make it's further support, etc. And I'm not familiar with "forking" process - it's just my first attempt with add-on development (correction). LdapInfo78_experimental4.zip Be healthy, wash you hands ;o)

@AlexUkr73 Thank you for your solution. We used this add-on with our LDAP server and it worked fine with TB 60. Now we want to use your solution. It works with gravatar, but not work with our LDAP server. I have this issue. LDAP exeprion!, Intranet [srintf] property "uid" does not exist. Can you help me?

Sadly, it does not work with TB 102:
