The display_name did change, but the mailing list still displaying the old name. By "the mailing list still displaying the old name" do you mean the membership list in Postorius or something else? And to what REST endpoint did you post the display_name? The bottom line is a user can have multiple display names. Each user has a User record with a display_name attribute, one or more 'addresses', one of which is it's preferred_address. Each one of the addresses is an Address record with it's own email address and display_name. Now, a member of a list can be either a User or an Address. If it's a User, its display_name is that of the user and it's email address is that of the preferred_address, but if it's an Address, its email and display_name are those of the Address. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The problem is that "access to list" can mean a lot of things: can subscribe, can post, can admin, can view archives, can view list in listinfo, can view subscriber list, and there are probably others. What permissions are needed for what general classes of users? > Just as an idea, how about always one "custom attributes" field. So > that from a database pov this field is always there. We could do that, but then we'd have to support it. I'm thinking of situations like admin A populates the field, then leaves the organization, and we add (some of) the supported features, and admin B wants to migrate that. I don't see any good coming of that for us. As Mark says, a separate table seems like the way to go for custom attributes. > It could be done in postorius - the restriction that subscribing by > mail needs moderators action would be ok (or if it annoys me, this > part be move to a cron job). OK. I'll think about this. Steve

Re: 502 bad gateway when unsubscribing users

Hi Laura, This indicates a problem an error occurring within the specific install of Mailman that your university is running, and it will be very difficult to diagnose without access to the error logs.

Understood, thanks. Although this distinction is very important for server admins, it's likely not meaningful for many list owners and moderators. For them, MM2.1 sent an email saying "go here" and MM3/Django/Postorius/Hyperkitty doesn't, at least not out of the box. There is some pending template in use by default, just not one with a URL included. Is this something better handled in the venv and/or Web installation docs?

I think the OP wants to delete Mailman users that are not members of any lists even if there is no corresponding Django user. That script won't do that. Mailman Users can be deleted from the Postorius Users view, but it's a one at a time process, and there's no indication that the User has memberships unless you first go to `Manage` to check. I will modify the script to enable deleting Mailman users with no memberships even if they aren't Django users and post here when it's done. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You can look at the commit history of the spanish po file to get a detailed history of when and who made the changes. For example: Core: <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/commits/master/src/mailman/messages/es…> Postorius: <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/commits/master/src/postorius/locale/…> You find similar histories in all the repos.

Could this be because of the .mo files not being up-to-update? There used to be some strings that were translated incorrectly, but I think we fixed all of those that we found.

This is because of the domain change. In settings(_local).py you have a setting for SITE_ID. Possibly, setting that in settings_local.py to a value one greater that the current setting will do. To be certain of the correct value, you need to look at the django_site table in mailman's database. That table has 3 columns, id, domain and name.

I think you misunderstand what Mailman Core currently is. I think Mailman Core's concept of User is exactly what you are talking about when you ask for a "true account-based system". The problem is that Mailman Core was intentionally designed without any web UI and a RESTful API for separate web based UIs or whatever to use to communicate with it. Then the people who developed the web based management UI (Postorius) and archive UI (HyperKitty) chose to develop those within a Django framework and Django has its own concept of User separate from Mailman Core and that is where the disconnect occurs. It's not that Mailman Core lacks what you want. It's that Django doesn't use it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
