[Mailman-Users] Customization of "main" Mailman pages

[Support Desk]

Yeah, yeah, the python script in cgi/listinfo.py can be edited
to customize the listinfo page. OK? Don't recall anyone EVER
wanting to customize THAT PAGE, OK? You are on your
own, no tour available... Have fun!

NO! the question is how do you edit the MAIN listserv page where the lists are populated not the main page of a specific list. 

for example
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo

THAT PAGE

not 

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/c++-sig

i think we all know how to edit a page like that.

http://YOUR_DOMAIN/mailman/istinfo.html 
IS a list specific page.... (DUH!)

It IS the "main" page! (DUH!)

It is called the "General list information page" ... (DUH!) 

It is FULLY customizable! You don't like the pretty blue
and beige color scheme? Change it! You don't like the
Python Goat? Delete it! (DUH!) 

You customize it for your own list through admin at: 
http://YOUR_DOMAIN/mailman/edithtml/YOUR_LIST 
http://YOUR_DOMAIN/mailman/edithtml/YOUR_LIST/listinfo.html 
You type in or copy & paste your code in the box, and save it;
this changes the look of the page, if you want the page
to follow the look and feel of your site, if you want to add
a background, other links, buttons, scripts, add banners, 
change colors, add a pic of your girl friend, or whatever! 
you do that here!  
Note that any tag <MM-etc> is a Mailman tag, and you
may or may not wish to leave specific tags there. Just use
caution, maintain chronological backups of your changes
in case you screw anything up.. 

Do I need to give you a guided tour? 
Now go to your list admin
and L@@K on the right side, you see:
"Other Administrative Activities" under there is a link:
"Edit the HTML for the public list pages " Click it! Then click this link: 
"General list information page " Now, edit anything your little
heart desires! Then click [ Submit Changes ] .... 

Do you understand what I'm sayin'? 

Now, I need a drink... No charge for the guided tour.. ;-)

| That's fine for customizing the per-list pages, I knew that.

| www.domain.com/mailman/listinfo/ (_NOT_ a list-specific page) ?
