Hi all,
the plans in http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/TemplatingNotes and http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/StyledPages sound great, but mean a lot of work.
For example there is options.py with functions for rendering output named options_page and loginpage.
options_page supports the old template mechanism using options.html However loginpage has hard-coded tables including "BGCOLOR" and such ugly things.
I don't know if someone is still working on the new template mechanism and I couldn't find any changes on options.py either. (What I think is fundamentally necessary for a complete template mechanism.) (I looked in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.2/files and http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/3.0/files)
So my plan is: For a customer I want to customize more than the standard pages (for example the function loginpage from options.py). I will use the old template system (like in function options_page in options.py), using new template names like <SCRIPT>_<FUNCTION>.html As I think this is useful for others it could maybe be merged in mailman.
So what do you think, is it a waste of time because code for the old template mechanism will never get merged?
I'm looking forward to your suggestions.
bye, Frank
