I'm far from a Python guru, so that's why I'm asking the developer's list.
I want to integrate the Mailman web pages into the rest of my web page, but everything else is PHP. I've seen lots of posts about using PHP with Mailman, but not really any solutions (if I missed it, please point me in the right direction).
With that in mind, I thought I'd try to see how to do it myself. All I really need Mailman to do is after it generates it's HTML to pipe the output through /usr/bin/php before sending it to stdout where apache will get it.
I have a solution, but I but there's a better way within Mailman.
Right now I moved all the programs in /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin to /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin.orig, then created shell scripts in cgi-bin that look like this:
--- start file: listinfo --- #!/bin/sh
../cgi-bin.orig/listinfo | /usr/bin/php --- end file: listinfo ---
That's all there is to it. Now I can add PHP directives in Mailman's HTML code, and they get parsed.
Is there a better way?
Maybe you good folks could add some hooks into later releases so that the user could specify a "filter" program or something that Mailman will pipe all it's HTML output through. That's all that is needed.
Thanx for a great program!
