PrimitiveNotes Plugin

This is a very simple notes plugin for Roundcube. Primarily notes in HTML, Markdown and TXT (UTF-8) format but also images (jpg, png) and PDF files are supported. The files are stored in a compatible format to TagSpaces, so that you can transfer these notes directly.

History

Originally, the idea for a standalone note app came from that I wanted to separate my notes from Evernote. Afterwards I ended up at TagSpaces. As TagSpace was too slow and extensive for me personally, I decided to develop my own app. This resulted in a standalone project and now this plugin for Roundcube.

Installation

  • Extract the downloaded archive into Roundcube’s plugin directory <roundcube>/plugins/ and rename it to primitivenotes.
  • copy config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php
  • change $config['notes_path'] to the path path where the note files are stored. You can use %u as a placeholder for the username. If $config['notes_path'] = '/mnt/hdd/homes/%u/files/Notes' and the username is [email protected], then the resulting path reads /mnt/hdd/homes/[email protected]/files/Notes/
  • Activate the plugin in /config/config.inc.php in the way that you add it to the active plugins array, like $config['plugins'] = array('primitivenotes');
