Dave,
You mean instead of using the python driven web form that comes with
mailman?
You can create a front-end to the existing subscription processes using
an html form that collects the necessary parameters and submits them to
mailman via the form's ACTION=your mailman url/LISTNAME.
Here are the required params:
email, fullname, pw, pw-conf (confirmed...same as pw), digest,
email-button
Here's a super-simple example:
html
head
titleSubscribe to List/title
/head
body
form action=http://yourmailman.server.com/mailman/subscribe/listname
method=post
Email: input name=email type=textbr
Full Name: input name=fullname type=textbr
Password: input name=pw type=passwordbr
Confirm: input name=pw-conf type=passwordbr
Digest: select name=digest
option value=1Yes/option
option value=0No/option
/select
input type=submit name=email-button value=Submit
/form
/body
/html
Keep in mind - you'll probably want to implement or write a cgi script
to verify some of the input fields and scrub the data... and verify that
the pw matches pw-conf... but it's a start.
I wrote a script that allows folks to subscribe remotely from command
line on a unix/linux server as long as they have cURL installed... will
forward that along if anybody's interested.
Here's the important line from the script. The $VARS are collected from
the stdin or prompted.
curl -s
$MAILMANURL/${LIST}?email=${UEMAIL}fullname=$FIRSTNAME%20$LASTNAMEpw=$
PWpw-conf=$PWdigest=0email-button=Submit
YMMV.
Rgds,
Mike

Hi all
How hard would it be to create an HTML form for a website which could
be used to subscribe people to a list, rather than using the one on
the mailman site for the list?
Thanks
