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.

This is in issue you need to take up with your provider. If this is your own Mailman installation, whatever Mailman you have installed has been modified to remove this setting. I recommend upgrading to the latest version from SourceForge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Joe Travaglione (joetravaglione) Date: 2008-01-29 08:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1994980 Originator: YES I only see 6 settings in the additional settings at the bottom. The following options can be changed: 1. Emergency moderation of all list traffic 2. Default options for new members joining this list 3. (Administrivia filter) Check postings and intercept ones that seem to be administrative requests? 4. Host name this list prefers for email. 5. Should messages from this mailing list include the RFC 2369 (i.e. List-*) headers? Yes is highly recommended. 6. Should postings include the List-Post: header? There are no other options for changing the size? Do I have an old version of listserve? Do I have to sign up for a newer version? My current version is 2.1.5.

Somewhere in Mailman, something is not checking the URL beyond a certain length or segment. You might say "so what?", but if you allow these to work, soon all kinds of people's typos will end up in documents as being the URL to use to do various tasks, just because they happened to work that day.

Perhaps I don't have javascript turned on. Anyway: I did see http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Summer+of+Code but he's got it all wrong. Instead of going the javascript direction, he should just go to the strict.dtd direction. Using not even one TABLE, only H1 H2, etc. Indeed just like the HTML in my http://jidanni.org/ . I mean if anything, the number of buttons and choices on the Mailman web interface should shrink, not grow. Therefore the slightly looser H1 H2 etc. instead of TABLEs will not be too big anyway. I don't even see the need for any CSS. Just H2 or <DL><DT><DD><P> lists of questions and answers (item names and their choices.) Mailman is not some multimedia application. You should go the Strict.dtd route. No color too: then you will be forced to make your H2's titles meaningful ones, improving accessibility for everybody. (P.S., the Chinese sample I gave also has its language selector ripped out, else I would have to also maintain an English page, as that is Dreamhost's site language, and cannot be turned off (bug 1875187)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jidanni (jidanni) Date: 2008-01-23 03:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES And as you will find your HTML is jam packed with _very hard to maintain presentational blibber_, causing a billion validator errors, meaning it is just by shear luck that people hopefully see what your thought maybe they might see in their browsers at all, therefore I recommend you forget your FrontPage Express style tag soup mess, and try HTML Strict (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd). Never mind all those colors and tables. Get in the habit of thinking from the point of all users: _accessibility_. Here's an example of how I repaired your disastrous listinfo.html. I couldn't use strict.dtd as the stuff I include of yours isn't strict. Also you insist on sticking a TABLE inside an ADDRESS, in mm-mailman-footer, so short of just hardcoding the whole thing, it will never be valid HTML. Anyway I'm just telling you, not volunteering to help, but just telling you, that aren't these <H1> and <H2>'s easier to maintain than that TABLE tag barf that you contracted Plotzworth Whoopie Pages Web Designers for? P.S., Before making one more release, make sure what you release is valid HTML. Does Wikipedia pass the validator? Yes. It is quite bananas to just emit TAG JUMBLE GAMBLE HTML with FINGER CROSSED to people's browsers.
