Hi Richard, I have edited most of the template files in template/en (for our English mailing lists). They all work fine. I have even edited the header.html & footer.html for ht://Dig (btw, is there any way to configure the mailman integration to change the mailinglist.conf file to point header & footer to the lists search directory instead of $COMMON?) The only pages left to edit are the listinfo page for the 'lists of lists', the subscriber options page, and the admin interface. I … [View More]cannot figure out what template files these are generated by. I looked in listinfo.py and could not find any reference to html code at all! An example: http://lists.becta.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mailman works fine, all nice and branded but if you go to http://lists.becta.org.uk/mailman/listinfo, it is not branded. How do I make the lists of lists look like every other part of the site? Thanks for your help.

If you are using MM 2.1.2 then you will find a much of the html has been abstracted to the $prefix/templates directory language subdirectories and their brethren. Although pages are being generated by MM scripts these now tend to populate template files rather than generate HTML from scratch. You can set up/change these templates by language as follows (from the comments in $prefix/Mailman/Utils.py): <quote> # When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 places # that are searched, in this order: # # 1. the list-specific language directory # lists/<listname>/<language> # # 2. the domain-specific language directory # templates/<list.host_name>/<language> # # 3. the site-wide language directory # templates/site/<language> # # 4. the global default language directory # templates/<language> # # The first match found stops the search.

not getting sent out of the system. how to change?
by flyingember＠374liberty.org July 2, 2003

July 2, 2003

I have mailman setup in redhat 9. I can setup a list fine through the web interface and setup users for the list. the registered users send email to the list email and the email gets into the mailman system. (postfix mail log shows this) I now have a pair of files in /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in that don't leave. I checked my cron logs and the mailman cron seems to be running. what do I need to look at/change now?

not able to access admin web interface
by Jeroen Valcke July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

Hello, Small glitch here. For one specific list I'm not able to access the online admin interface. I type the password and it just sits there. Logging in on other lists works fine. I even tried several browsers. The machine has a quite heavy load for the moment, but other list logins seem to work fine. Any ideas? -Jeroen- -- Jeroen Valcke sst(a)belnet.be jeroen.valcke(a)belnet.be

alias lists
by Bernd Petrovitsch July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

Hi all! How does one handle multiple From:-email-addresses for one person within mailman? With majordomo, there was a hack/patch to have a separate (possibly site-wide) alias-mailinglist which is used for the list membership test (and administered similar to an ordinary mailinglist), but never sent mail to. Thanks in advance Bernd -- Firmix Software GmbH http://www.firmix.at/ Embedded Linux Development and Services
