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. Much better solution than http://taint.org/mmrss/ ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Uche Ogbuji (uche) Date: 2003-03-17 20:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38966 I'd like to add my vote to this item. This is a fantastic idea, Andrew. Thanks. --Uche ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2002-12-23 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Updated patch: * Dates are now rendered as ISO-8601 (date only, not the time of the message) * By hard-wiring 2002-December, I got the RSS to validate using Mark Pilgrim's validator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: captain larry (captainlarry) Date: 2002-12-23 14:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=147905 Just voting for support here.

This should be configurable by list, as many lists require only being able to distinguish spam from real posts, which is normally possible within a few lines. I would also like to have the ability to view message excerpts for subscription requests, as these are sometimes spam. In both cases the existing hardcoded values should be the default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Cyndi (cyndi) Date: 2007-12-30 12:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1925111 Originator: NO Thanks, Stephen.

Category: Web UI Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: --- (konvpalto) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [PATCH] Focus first textbox at the admin login page Initial Comment: The default administrator login page (when one is not currently logged in) contains only one textfield -- administrator password. And almost for sure user will want to enter the password there. So Web UI can provide some help to the user by focusing the textfield, so user will not need to do extra mouse click or to move focus with keyboard. This makes administrator logins faster and smoother. The attached patch was tested against Firefox 1.x/2.x, Opera and IE 7. I had made the patch only for the English template. If you're happy with it, I can make a patch against all template pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1858815&group_…

In mlist.Create(), if emailhost==None, then it's set to mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST which was probably not the intention of the list creator. Attached patch fixes this issue. Please apply it, thanks!

The only thing Create() uses emailhost for is to append it to the listname to make 'listname@emailhost' in order to determine that this is a valid email address, but the intent of this is to validate the listname, not the emailhost. Create() does not set any list attribute from emailhost. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1843966&group_…

Mailman's command line tools are not consistent in how they handle the case of list names, as shown in this Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/446257 This is a bit problematic as list_lists does report them in mixed case. The attached patch should make all command line tools do a case-normalisation before processing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-12-04 13:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO 2.1.10b1 will be released as soon as a few packaging glitches related to our move from Subversion to Bazaar are worked out.
