[Kolab-devel] Hook/Plugin support for kolab-webadmin

[Daniel Hoffend]

Hi there,

I've created an initial version that supports hooks inside of the 
kolab-webadmin api.
The thoughts behind this feature would be to run additional checks or 
scripts on api
calls.

The most prominent feature would be small-scale (isp) hosting of kolab 
domains where
you want to limit the maximum amount of accounts and/or overall quota. I 
know this
feature is not useful in a soho or enterprise environment where you 
don't want to
put limits on yourself.

The example currently is using the kolab.conf variables but should be 
easily
adjustable to use ldap attributes or whatsoever.

I pushed it the 'hooks' branch, please take a look at it and tell me 
your thoughts:
http://git.kolab.org/kolab-wap/commit/?h=hooks&id=6c11665338354181ab1f4eb8db9166a0df9d28cd

Current supported hooks:
all api calls (before + after) + some validate_* checks from 
kolab_api_service_form_value

This can be the beginning, so we/you might be able to add additional 
hooks to enhance
or adjust kolab-webadmin without breaking it every time there comes a 
bugfix/security
patch.
