Is the Zimlet-way suitable for that? Would such a Zimlet be "visible" in the zimbraAdmin or they're only visible in the web client UI?
I've already realized such a thing by a shell scritpt (with "zmprov"), but now I need this in the web interface and not via the ssh+run-some-script way.
thanks a lot for any kindly help |
Yes, you can do this by an admin extension. An admin extension is a Zimlet for admin UI. Here's is a tutorial with an example similar to what you want to create:

Admin extensions offer much more flexibility than zimlets. In essence, with an admin extension you have access to all admin UI code at run-time and you can modify it in any way that you want.
Feel free to PM me if you need more details.
