change_notification — Roundcube plugin

License: GPLv3
Composer: texxasrulez/change_notification (type: roundcube-plugin)

Upload a per-user audio file (mp3/ogg/flac/wav/m4a) and use it as the "new message" notification sound when the Roundcube preference Settings → Mailbox View → Play the sound on new message is enabled.

Install (composer)

composer require texxasrulez/change_notification

Manual install: copy change_notification into your Roundcube plugins/ dir Then enable in config/config.inc.php:

$config['plugins'][] = 'change_notification';

Optionally copy plugins/change_notification/config.inc.php.dist to plugins/change_notification/config.inc.php and adjust limits/paths.

How it works

• Adds an upload control under Settings → Mailbox View using the preferences_list hook.
• Stores the uploaded file in plugins/change_notification/user_sounds/{user_id}/.
• Saves the relative file path in the Roundcube user prefs as change_notification_file.
• Injects a tiny JS that points the notification audio element to the per-user file at runtime. This respects the existing Roundcube "play sound" toggle.

Security & notes

• Files are stored per-user in a non-browsable directory and served only through the plugin endpoint plugin.change_notification.get, which checks the logged-in user.
• Max size defaults to 2MB; MIME and extension validated.

Uninstall

• Disable the plugin and remove the directory.
• User prefs key change_notification_file can be left or removed.
