Re: [Mailman-Users] bug error when subscribing through web afterMailman 2.1.12 upgrade
Mark,
The modification to MailList.py is something that you suggested awhile
back and I had carried it through as Mailman was upgraded. Here is the
thread from 2005.
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-January/042116.html
This time, it didn't seem to work and broke it.The problem was the
email sent to new list owners had the list address, but didn't
complete the actual address. Instead, it results in this:
Send list messages to:
%(emailaddr)s
What is the actual solutilon to the template being populated with the
actual list address. This seems like something that would be assumed
to exist in an out of the box installation.
Thanks again for your help. I have removed the modifications and it is
working correctly again.

Since upgrading to version 2.1.12, I have experienced a number of

able to patch things up. The latest occurs when a user attempts to
subscribe from the web. Here is the error log information:

Here in the traceback, the subscribe CGI is calling the list object's

admin(9559): listinfo_url = self.getScriptUrl('listinfo', absolute=1)
Then within the AddMember method in
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, the above line calls the
list's getScriptUrl method which triggers the exception below saying
the list object has no getScriptUrl method.
There are two things seriously wrong here:
1) In the 2.1.12 released MailList.py, there is no line containing the
name 'listinfo_url' anywhere in the module
2) the 'getScriptUrl' list method doesn't exist, thus the exception.
The method's name is 'GetScriptURL'.
admin(9559): File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, line
146, in __getattr__
admin(9559): raise AttributeError, name
admin(9559): AttributeError: getScriptUrl
So, the question here is where did this MailList.py module come from?
Is this a source install or a package? Did you modify it in any way?
It is clearly not an unmodified source distribution, and it is clearly
broken.

[Mailman-Users] Password reminder on private archive login page
Dear Mr. Sapiro;
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Few months ago we made a list based modification in our test list.
It can be seen here:
http://mailman.metu.edu.tr/mailman/private/test
-
I am not very good at object oriented programming, and can hardly
understand python
scripts.
But I am trying to understand the commands.
I tried the text in the attachment also but as you warned, it didn't
work.:-(
---
The final problem is you've inserted your code in the wrong place. You
put it where it is only reached if the user is already authenticated
or provided a valid authentication.
---
Actually if someone reached to the archive (in order to see attachments,
messages for example) he probably had not logged into list archives
page yet. He is asked to enter his e-mail and corresponding password.
After submitting both correctly, the html form runs private script.
FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=$HOST/mailman/private/$LISTNAME
But as you mentioned;
For the reminder form the necessary form action lines should be as
follows:
FORM action=$HOST/mailman/options/$LISTNAME method=POST
INPUT name=email type=TEXT (*)
INPUT name=login-remind type=SUBMIT value=Remind
There are three submit buttons in options page but the necessary one is
named login-remind.
(*) It may not be necessary, since it is already written in archive
authentication form. But the private script is reading the variables
username and password, but option script is reading the
variable email.
---
What needs to be done is the reminder button has to be added to the
private.html archive login template and code needs to be added to
Mailman/Cgi/private.py to recognize the button and send the reminder.
---
You also suggested that a remind button could be added to
generic private.html externally.
I tried that also (but the Turkish version.
$MAILMAN_PATH/mailman/templates/tr/private.html)
But it didn't have any effect.
By the way;
from the file Mailman/Cgi/options.py
I copied the necessary lines as follows.
# Password reminder section
actionurl = mlist.GetScriptURL('options')
form = Form(actionurl)
table = Table(width='100%', border=0, cellspacing=4, cellpadding=5)
table.AddRow([Center(Header(2, _('Password reminder')))])
table.AddCellInfo(table.GetCurrentRowIndex(), 0,
bgcolor=mm_cfg.WEB_HEADER_COLOR)
table.AddRow([Label(_('Email address:')),
TextBox('email', size=20)])
table.AddRow([_(By clicking on the emRemind/em button, your
password will be emailed to you.)])
table.AddRow([Center(SubmitButton('login-remind', _('Remind')))])
# Finish up glomming together the login page
-
Do these lines work?
Is it necessary to add html code to template/private.html also?
Regards...

I have two main questions.
First; We once asked about adding password reminder to private archive

previous correspondence below.
Can I put the password reminder on private archive login page? So that,
list members who want to see the archive, but do not remember their
passwords, can quickly learn their passwords. Otherwise, password
reminder is too hard to find using the links on general list info page..
This is a good idea. I think I'll implement it for Mailman 2.2.
What needs to be done is the reminder button has to be added to the
private.html archive login template and code needs to be added to
Mailman/Cgi/private.py to recognize the button and send the reminder.
You can look at Mailman/Cgi/options.py for how it's done there.
I have added the following lines to

[Mailman-Users] List exclude feature across several domains on same server in a shared hosting environment
Thanks to a Dreamhost technical support person writing a patch for Mailman running in a shared hosting environment, I can now use the list exclude feature to avoid duplicate messages when an address is subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. Since I have more than one domain with mailman lists, I am wondering if it is in the works to to have list exclusion that would work across domains on the sme server.

However, this has nothing to do with the mail sent to the owner of a

includes 'confirm'. The same modification is also required when the
verify.txt template is used for an address change confirmation.
Adding %(emailaddr)s to the newlist.txt template requires a different
modification to MailList.py.

Re: [Mailman-Users] bug error when subscribing through webafterMailman 2.1.12 upgrade
Mark,
Yes, you are correct. I realized that I was referring to the wrong fix
after sending my message. I certainly didn't want to insinuate that
you gave me bad information.
That aside, the question still stands. Why are these fixes needed to
force the templates to display as it seems they should be default?
What about a list adminstrator who doesn't have full run of the system
to make these fixes? An administrator who does have full run would
have to know some python and understand the way Mailman works on the
backend. I guess that is the hope for an adminstrator, isn't it?

An administrator who does have full run would have to know some python and understand the way Mailman works on the backend. I guess that is the hope for an adminstrator, isn't it? The way current mailman works, you can't just arbitrarily add replacements to templates. Each template is processed with a dictionary of replacements that is specific to that template. The fact that you see some substitution in template-A does not mean you can use the same substitution in template-B because the dictionary for template-B probably doesn't include it. That said, one thing on my to-do list for Mailman 2.2 is to have a global set of replacements that can be used in all templates, but that does not currently exist. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

My remark above referred to where in the logical flow of the private.py

at the page.
Since I had planned to look into this for Mailman 2.2 anyway, I have
made a first cut at implementing this feature. The attached
privatepw.patch.txt contains patches to Mailman/Cgi/private.py and
templates/en/private.html to implement this feature. I have tested
them and they seem OK.
You're on your own for the Turkish version of the private.html template.

It's a satisfactory avoidance if you don't actually have any lists gating from usenet, and it's a reasonable 'efficiency' as well in that circumstance, but there is some underlying issue that should be addressed. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Not specifically, but mail to my list address that is not to a list goes into a quarantine that I look at only on rare occasions. I never saw the copy sent to the list though. The one directly to me is in the quarantine and I pulled it out after seeing your second reply. Do Mailman's other cron jobs run without error? I thought so, but it looks like they all are (this is the only one ever 5 minutes, so it overwhelmed the others) Could this be a SELinux or other security manager issue? FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE with no weird chroot stuff. What are the permissions on the /usr/local/mailman/lists/mailman/ directory? 2 drwxrwsr-x 21 mailman mailman It's a satisfactory avoidance if you don't actually have any lists gating from usenet, and it's a reasonable 'efficiency' as well in that circumstance, but there is some underlying issue that should be addressed. I'm still looking into it. I suspect this has something to do with a portupgrade as the errors started about the time I was doing a lot of updates. Hmm.. I think I might have found the problem, there was a crontab for 'nobody' that had the various mailman tasks in it. Mailman runs as the user mailman, not nobody. See if that eliminates the issue. -- Personal isn't the same as important -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
