I presume this is the same for the subscriber options? I am trying to make as much of the mailman interface that the end user (subscriber) sees Becta branded as possible.

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.  In this way, you can specialize
    # templates at the desired level, or, if you use only the default
    # templates, you don't need to change anything.  You should never modify
    # files in the templates/<language> subdirectory, since Mailman will
    # overwrite these when you upgrade.  That's what the templates/site
    # language directories are for.
</quote>

Take a look at these template files and evaluate the template search hierarchy before concluding that hacking the Python code is the only way forward.

Thanks,
Timothy

That is what I get for answering a question when I should not yet be awake. I belive that page is generated by a cgi script
(mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo), which is going to make editing a real problem.
