Category: None Group: 2.1 (stable)
Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jussi Hirvi (jhirvi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Variables in the template postauth.txt are not substituted
Initial Comment: The template file postauth.txt contains:
As list administrator, your authorization is requested for thefollowing mailing list posting: List: %(listname)s@%(hostname)s From: %(sender)s Subject: %(subject)s Reason: %(reason)s
At your convenience, visit: %(admindb_url)s to approve or deny the request.
When an email is sent to the administrator, the variables are of course supposed to be substituted with their respective values. THis didn't happen, however. I cannot think of another explanation than a bug. My Mailman version is 2.1.8. In this case, I'm using Finnish versions of the templates (modified by me), but that shouldn't affect this, I think. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1692540 Originator: YES I think I found the error in my /templates/fi/postauth.txt, just as you suspected! One s (for string, I guess) was missing. I have not tested, but I'm reasonably sure this was what caused the error. I feel kind of stupid... but I'm glad this was solved! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-01-15 18:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO Perhaps the 'bug' is in your modified template. It seems to me that your modification of the template is the most likely cause of this. Have you changed the substitution strings %(listname)s, %(hostname)s, etc. in any way? If you change anything in these strings, they will cease to work. Please check for lists/<listname>/fi/postauth.txt templates/<list.host_name>/fi/postauth.txt templates/site/fi/postauth.txt templates/fi/postauth.txt The first of these that exists is the Finnish template that will be used. Review that template, and if you can't find a problem there, I don't know where it can be unless somehow the call to Utils.maketext('postauth.txt', d, raw=1, mlist=mlist), in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py has been changed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1635915&group_id=103
