 Directories & Files

The following is a list and overview of the primary directories used by WorldClient, and the files that each directory contains.

MDaemon\WorldClient\
Besides WorldClient's main application files, the base directory contains several files that you may need to work with:

Note

Address book files are Tab delimited. To add an Address Book entry to the AddrBook.txt file, open it using a text editor (such as Notepad), and type:

Name[Tab]email address[Tab]comment[Enter]

and then Save the file. The entry will not be recognized unless there are tabs before and after the email address.

 

MDaemon\HTML\
The HTML subdirectory contains a number of important subdirectories and files used by WorldClient:

WCWatchInstall.exe

WCWatch is a tray applet that can be distributed to your users. It runs in the background and checks for new mail by querying the WorldClient server directly. This eliminates the need to keep a browser open. It will check for new mail and inform you of unread messages in your mail folders. It will also launch your browser and automatically log you into WorldClient when you are ready to read your mail.

Theme Subdirectories
For each of WorldClient's Themes (see \Templates\) there is a separate subdirectory contained in the \HTML\ directory. Each of these subdirectories will have the same name as the WorldClient Theme they represent and will contain:

 

Help Subdirectory
This directory contains WorldClient's user help system. This is the client-side help system used for explaining all client functions.

Additional Files
Any non-template HTML files that you have created and wish to incorporate into your WorldClient site.

In addition, this directory contains the "Help" and "Help-Admin" folders, which contain the help systems for the email client and for WorldClient administration.

 

MDaemon\Logs\
WorldClient’s log files are kept with MDaemon’s log files under the MDaemon Logs directory.

Note

In the WorldClient.ini you can specify the level of log file verbosity by designating a value of 1 through 4; 1 being the most verbose and 4 being the least.

 

MDaemon\Users\Domain\User
Each user has a personal subdirectory whose name is the same as the user’s sign-in name (for example …\dailyplanet.com\CKent\). This subdirectory – and the WC directory below it – contains:

 

\Templates\

All of the HTML files used by the WorldClient parsing engine are stored in the Templates subdirectory. These HTML files are read in and all variables (denoted by <$varname$>) are replaced by WorldClient on the fly and then sent to the browser. There can be any number of different "Themes" directories in the Templates subdirectory. These are available for the users to select between based upon their preference or browser. WorldClient ships with two themes: Standard-WorldClient's original Theme which utilizes frames with JavaScript, and Globe-the latest and most advanced Theme containing many new features, controls, and images. This directory is also where you will place any new Themes that you create or acquire from some other source.
