How to get relative paths in MM admin/moderator links?
We're running MM 2.1.9 at work. I noticed much to my chagrin today that all the links in the admin interface appear to be absolute URLs. At work they have this annoying habit of never using the FQDN for hosts, so our MM machine is just "lists". I can edit the URL to use the FQDN and thus get to the website via our VPN, but all the links are still
http://lists/mailman/...Is there some way to tell MM to use relative URLs or at least to not include the http://hostname part?
Thanks,

Mailman was always intended to use relative href's in the web interface, but due to a bug , this didn't work in 2.1.x prior to 2.1.12.

Will an http://lists.example.com/mailman/... URL work inside the LAN? If so, you can set
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com'
in mm_cfg.py and run fix_url to update the web_page_url attributes of all the lists so the URLs will be http://lists.example.com/mailman/...
If this won't work, and you can't upgrade to 2.1.12, you may be able to fix the bug. See <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/revision/1154#Mailman/Utils.py> for the fix.
