Import/export option missing after installation of plugin

[Krause Richard]

Hi

At first, after I had installed the Addressbook Import-Export plugin I
suffered from the DataPermission-Error
(http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/DataPermission) and was not able to connect to
my mail account using sqirrel mail. I solved this as I found out that when
adding the plugin using the configuration script it adds some faulty lines
to the config.php file:

$data_dir                 = SM_PATH . 'config/C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\squirrelmail\data';
$attachment_dir           = SM_PATH . 'config/C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\squirrelmail\attach';

And at the very end of the config.php file it added the following:

@include SM_PATH . 'config/config_local.php';

After I corrected the full absolute path of both the data and the attachment
directory (leaving off "SM_PATH . 'config/") and after I deleted the above
mentionded line I am now able to connect to my mail server again using
squirrel mail.

But the Addressbook Import-Export plugin is still not working, the line
where you would be able to import/export a CSV File is just missing in my
Squirrel Mail (Screenshot).

hMailServer 4.4.3 - Build 285
Apache HTTP Server 2.2.10
ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004
PHP 5.2.6
SquirrelMail 1.4.16
Windows XP Professional SP 3
abook_import_export-1.1-1.4.4

Any idea how to solve this?

Regards,
Richard

I'm guessing that you entered "C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\squirrelmail\data" into the configuration utility
and it thought that was not a full path, so it added a prefix to it.
If you use forward slashes instead, it will not do this.  I have added
a fix for back slashes (but it's still recommended that you use
forward slashes).

Normal and should not harm anything.

You are using a version that has known security issues.

Not without something to go on.  Verify that the plugin is showing in
the configuration file and the plugin has been configured.  Then turn
up the error reporting settings in PHP and watch your logs or the
screen for any errors.
