I hacked this to change the layout in my company's installation. It was the first Python I had ever done (although I am well versed in Perl) and it was fairly stressless. I just added two lines and changed two others. You can see the changes I made below. (My Joydesk account sometimes adds newlines that make it difficult to read so I have attatched the changes as well.) ------------------------- ...lots of code here... # Logo constants # # These are the URLs which the image logos link to. The Mailman home page now # points at the gnu.org site instead of the www.list.org mirror. # from mm_cfg import MAILMAN_URL PYTHON_URL = 'http://www.python.org/' GNU_URL = 'http://www.gnu.org/' # added ocentrix branding OCX_URL = 'http://www.ocentrix.com/' # The names of the image logo files. These are concatentated onto # mm_cfg.IMAGE_LOGOS (not urljoined). DELIVERED_BY = 'mailman.jpg' PYTHON_POWERED = 'PythonPowered.png' GNU_HEAD = 'gnu-head-tiny.jpg' # added ocentrix branding OCX_POWERED = 'powered.jpg' def MailmanLogo(): t = Table(border=0, width='100%') if mm_cfg.IMAGE_LOGOS: def logo(file): return mm_cfg.IMAGE_LOGOS + file mmlink = Link(MAILMAN_URL, '<img src="%s" alt="Delivered by Mailman" border=0>' ' version %s' % (logo(DELIVERED_BY), mm_cfg.VERSION)) pylink = Link(PYTHON_URL, '<img src="%s" alt="Python Powered" border=0>' % logo(PYTHON_POWERED)) gnulink = Link(GNU_URL, '<img src="%s" alt="GNU\'s Not Unix" border=0>' % logo(GNU_HEAD)) ocxlink = Link(OCX_URL, '<img src="%s" alt="Powered by Ocentrix" border=0>' % logo(OCX_POWERED)) text = Container(Link(MAILMAN_URL, 'Mailman home page'), ' ', Link(PYTHON_URL, 'Python home page'), ' ', Link(GNU_URL, 'GNU home page'), ' ', Link(OCX_URL, 'Ocentrix home page'), ) t.AddRow([mmlink, ocxlink]) # changed this line to apply ocentrix branding # t.AddRow([mmlink, pylink, gnulink, ocxlink, text]) else: # use only textual links mmlink = Link(MAILMAN_URL, 'Delivered by Mailman version %s' % mm_cfg.VERSION) pylink = Link(PYTHON_URL, 'Python Powered') gnulink = Link(GNU_URL, "Gnu's Not Unix") ocxlink = Link(OCX_URL, "Powered by Ocentrix") t.AddRow([mmlink, ocxlink]) # changed this line to apply ocentrix branding # t.AddRow([mmlink, pylink, gnulink, ocxlink]) return t --------------------------------------------- I just slapped my companies logo into the directory with the rest of them and it works fine. - Ben

why is only admin getting messages
by Kirk Wythers April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

Currently, new list members can sign on our list, but when a listmember tries to post a message to the list, only the administrator gets the message. The list is suppose to be moderated (i.e. "Must posts be approved by the administrator?" Yes). If a list member tries to post a message, the administrator does not receive notification that administrator authorization is required. Rather the admin receives a copy of the posted message. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I thought that the administrator should get notification, then visit the "Tend to administrative requests page", and either approve or not approve the post. Thanks, Kirk

Customizing template
by adam.edgar April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

Does anyone here know a simple way to customize the general template for mailman. I would like to add our site emblem (Alabama Public Radio) the seal and apache to the banners at the base (actually a line below them). So is there a template file or is this generated by python? (note I know very little python and dont feel like hacking a great deal of code anyway) Thank you Adam Edgar
