[ mailman-Patches-657951 ] Generate RSS summary in archives

Patches item #657951, was opened at 2002-12-23 14:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by bwarsaw You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=657951&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file. Please make any comments you have, and I'll rework the patch accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-18 18:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Andrew, to get the url for the archived message use mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), which knows about private vs. public archives, the host name and the list name. From there you should be able to tack on just the part of the path under "archives/private/listname". See Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py for an example. Only other minor comment: NUM_ARTICLES can probably go in Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Mason (jmason) Date: 2003-03-26 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=935 big thumbs up from me too.

I think that's a scary misfeature. I think in this case it should reject your confirmation mail with an error saying that the password is wrong, since obviously you're attempting to get the message approved. Otherwise, you never know that the message has been discarded except that you don't see it appear on the list, and then it is too late to recover it. It would also be nice for the site password to be usable for message approval. (Now you see how I discovered the problem above.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=833384&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-820322 ] Crash when global subcription change causes collision

For example, I was working from the web-team page http://domain.net/mailman/options/listname as I tried to change my address globally. This would affect about ten lists to which my old address subscribed, including a list called "Team" among others. But "Team" already had my new address among its subscribers, so it could not accept another one. Rather than giving a graceful error message when it discovered this, MailMan just crashed. I didn't capture the exception traceback, but it should be easy to reproduce. - Rich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Simon Harrison (simonha) Date: 2003-10-30 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=898088 I have experience the same problem, here is our traceback: Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 131, in main addrchange_confirm(mlist, doc, cookie) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 492, in addrchange_confirm op, oldaddr, newaddr = mlist.ProcessConfirmation(cookie) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1113, in ProcessConfirmation self.ApprovedChangeMemberAddress(oldaddr, newaddr, globally) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1048, in ApprovedChangeMemberAddress mlist.changeMemberAddress(oldaddr, newaddr) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships. py", line 251, in changeMemberAddress password=xxxxxxxx, language=lang) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1.2/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships. py", line 175, in addNewMember raise Errors.MMAlreadyAMember, member MMAlreadyAMember: oneofourusers(a)ourorganisation.org.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=820322&group_i…

[ mailman-Patches-818601 ] "Announcement-only" (read only) list

It's exactly true. But some people wish really "announcement-only" feature. By `Announcement-only' feature: o Posting by e-mail is not allowed at all. All messages to posting address are forwarded to owners and no other users won't receive it. o Web interface is provided so that only specified users ("posters") can post messages to list. For example for `mail magazine' publishers, `announcement-only' list is safer (Oooops! I've approved the SPAM!) and let them be free from moderation tasks. Changes on codes: o New CGI script `post'. o New handler `Posttop' which switches messages bound to list to owners (only on annnouncement-only list). o New `announcement_only' configuration directive. o Some modifications of templates. Notice: By now this is buggie (both in Python and English). Comments and Fixes are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hatuka*nezumi (hatukanezumi) Date: 2003-10-29 19:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=529503 rel.1.0. o Confusing "announcement-only" has been changed to "read-only". o New admin category. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hatuka*nezumi (hatukanezumi) Date: 2003-10-09 23:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=529503 rel.0.2. * Posttop handler now placed after Hold handler so that spam discarding and auto-response are capable. * Global pipelone processing are ommitted when: -------------------------------------- SpamDetect : [A] and [W] Approve : [W] ReplyBot : [W] Moderate : [A] Hold : - administrivia : [A] - too many recips : [A] - implicit dest. : [A] - suspicious headers : [A] and not [W] - message size : [A] and not [W] - news moderation : [A] and not [W] Posttop : (if [A], may be switched to owner pipeline.)
