Hi,
everytime I receive a mail for moderation it says:
At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request.
So, I am wondering where this "dashboard" might be. We are managing 11 different lists (small scenario I think) and currently we have to navigate to each list and its page of mails to moderate.
I like the idea of a "dashboard" were you can see a summary of mails to moderate and other stuff to have an eye on. And directly do this from this dashbard. Which is convenience.
If it is already there, where do I find it? If not, do others also find such a dashboard helpful?
Best regards Torge

This is actually a regression from Mailman 2.x. That train included a link to the relevant dashboard in the email, which I miss terribly.

There's no overall dashboard per se. The message actually refers to whatever web UI you use to manage the list. The default template for this message is non-specific because it comes from Mailman core, and core doesn't know if you are using Postorius or some other web management system or non at all, and even if it were to assume Postorius, it doesn't know the URL.

As I said, there is no overall dashboard in Postorius, just the individual list management pages.

I explained above why this is the case, but you can fix it. You do so by making a sitewide template for this message. In the case of this list, we have a template in Mailman's var/templates/site/en/ directory (the default directory for sitewide english templates. This template is named list:admin:action:post.txt and its content on this site is:
As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting:
List: $listname From: $sender_email Subject: $subjectThe message is being held because:
$reasons
At your convenience, visit https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/$list_id/held_messages
Of course, in your case the <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/> part of the URL will be different.
See <https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%203%20installation%20experience#Templates> for the other templates I also install.
You can also put domain specific templates in var/templates/domains/$domain/$lc/ which override site templates for the domain and list specific templates in var/templates/lists/$list_id/$lc/ which override site and domain templates for the list, and you can also set list templates via Postorius.

All,
Our site has over 50 lists and several moderators are responsible for multiple lists. In addition to a dashboard like described here I would like to have a ‘comment’ field next to each request, so tha the moderator can keep track of the status of each. Our approval process involves multiple steps.
Time to visit gitlab?
Yours,
Allan Hansen hansen@rc.org

GitLab is the one place for feature requests for Mailman 3/Htperkitty/Postorius. Things requested in list posts get lost and forgotten.
That said, the more specific you can be in a request, the better. I.e., if you want a dashboard, what do you want on it for, e.g., the site admin, a user who may or may not be an owner of a couple of lists, a moderator of a couple more and a member of still others.

You can also put domain specific templates in var/templates/domains/$domain/$lc/ which override site templates for the domain and list specific templates in var/templates/lists/$list_id/$lc/ which override site and domain templates for the list, and you can also set list templates via Postorius.
Awesome - thank you.

IMO, we should fix this, similar to the way we deal with archives (provide a callback API so the webmin(s) can tell us where it is (they are)).
WDYT?
