Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Robert H. Bourdeau (bourdeau) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: More variables for use in templates

Initial Comment: When a template is rendered, only selected variables are included- ones that we're imagined as necessary for the default Mailman templates. All variables that are not "template-specific" should be made available to every template. For example, when rendering the "article" template to present a single message in a list archive, the variable 'listinfo' is not in the dictionary for use by the template. However, 'listinfo' IS available for use to in "archtoc" template. 'listinfo' can be used to create a hyperlink from an article BACK to the list information page. Better yet, some additional URL variables would be helpful. I'd really rather link from an article back to the 'archtoc' page (set to the same sort order as when the user chose the article to view). That would be useful to always have in a variable.

Basic principle here is that the SafeDict object that is used to render a template should always be as fully populated as possible. This gives the Mailman administrator (and list administrator) many more options for designing web pages.
