Hi Mark, Stephen & Thomas,
We've successfully merged our Mailman 2 list into Mailman 3. EMWD worked over
the weekend to get it done for our members. We're pretty grateful.
There are a few things we're trying to get our heads around, specifically to do
with the Affinity Web UI. Most of it is pretty self explanatory, and I can see
where it will be more aesthetically pleasing to manage, but a few things that
aren't so intuitive.
Affinity is a proprietary product of EMWD. At one point during the
development of Affinity, when Brian C was still alive, I had access to a
demo version, but no more.
I don't know if there are any EMWD Mailman 3 users on this list, but I
suspect your best resource for Affinity questions is EMWD.
Is anyone working with Mailman 3 and Affinity that could help us through the set up? For
instance, when I log in as owner and go to change my password, it won't take a new one
and asks me (with a pull down menu box) which account I want to change the password for,
and it gives me a list of my emails, and also the other owner's email address. When I
choose the email I'm logged in under, it says it's not the correct
"credentials."
Has anyone had this issue?
Have you actually created an Affinity login? I believe initially, you
have to sign up before you can sign in, even if you are the listowner.
Another thing is, and Stephen J. Turnbull prepared us for this, that the transferred membership are all
"enabled" but not "registered." I understand we have to send a membership wide
notification with a link to the Affinity log in page, and instructions going to the top right hand and
clicking on the login icon, putting in their email address (the one in the system) and adding a password OR
do they have to "create" a new sign in?
If it works like our web UI, they have to create a new sign in. You do
too. The process that imports a Mailman 2.1 list to a Mailman 3 list
does not create web UI logins.
Thanks for any info you can give us about Affinity. (I see Brian Carpenter was
beta testing it 4 years ago.) Cheers, Cathryn
I was one of the people working with Brian back then to try out and give
feedback on Affinity, but I've probably forgotten all I knew at that
time. There may be current EMWD/Affinity users on this list, but as I
said, your best support resource is probably EMWD.
