Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Grant Bowman (grantbow) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Welcome Message
Initial Comment: Problem: Currently, welcome message text can only be prepended to a fixed subscribeack.txt. Welcome messages should be fully customizable by list administrators that do not have command line/shell access to their mailman installations, an arrangement that is not unusual for hosted ISPs (like mine). Solution: The following one line patch allows the use of the existing editing capability with the subscribeack.txt file. Result: Mailman list administrators without shell access will have more control and can customize welcome messages to exactly meet the needs of their subscribers. --- Note: If this is the right approach I would be happy to follow up with additional patches to adjust the text of the existing "HTML selection" page and other appropriate places. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-June/029676.html Note: I obtained this idea from this message by Todd <Freedom_Lover at pobox.com> to Mailman-users and have created this patch for the CVS version of mailman. --- Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py.orig 2001-11-30 00:00:18.000000000 -0800 +++ Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py 2004-12-10 12:09:31.000000000 -0800 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ template_data = ( ('listinfo.html', _('General list information page')), ('subscribe.html', _('Subscribe results page')) + ('subscribeack.txt', _('Welcome email text file')), ('options.html', _('User specific options page')), ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
