If so, how? Is there a "create list" role that can be added for all registered users? Currently the only way to do so, would be to grant them django superuser permissions. This would require the use of local accounts. This would allow users to also manage domains (create, modify, delete) I went ahead and created the following feature request. Please add any information that you think is relevant. https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/133

Re: Importing mailman 2 shows member's "Moderation Action" = "Default processing". But new members show = "None". Why

can templates be html formatted?

I think for many of your members this is a cosmetic issue, not a "nothing to click" issue. The big problem with all those links is that the major clients have decided in their infinite wisdom that supporting RFC 2369 is not worth it. RFC 2369 provides for URLs to do all those functions, leaving it up to the client to format them nicely as buttons and menu items. This would be better because users would know where to look for them since they'd be formatted and located consistently (in each client, different clients would likely do things differently). > - no need for a password ever for anything they'd want to do. There is a plethora of "social authentication" (ie, use your Facebook, Google, Fedora, etc account to authenticate) available in Django. IIRC most of the more popular ones (eg, the ones just mentioned) are configured by default in the Mailman web applications. If not, that's easy to do. If you have a single-sign-on system for your website, it's simple to have the webserver pass those credentials to Postorius and HyperKitty. > - A simple click to subscribe, unsubscribe, see the archives. All > hyperlinks. One-click operations are frequently used to harrass people. There is a proposal for a standard way to support them more safely but it doesn't address the harassment problem completely. It's most attractive for marketing mailing lists. > I've been playing with the welcome template and it seems maybe this > can't do what I am looking for (html formatting). As with plain text, some clients will detect those and format HTML elements even though the mail is declared plain text. But this is really risky, and has become less and less common over the past few years. It would be possible to hack the sources to tell clients that the email is HTML, and then this would work. But I'm not interested in doing that, and definitely I'm not willing to support users of such a feature. > I'm wondering also why it's doing some sort of soft wrap with line > breaks which is breaking longer urls in the template. That's not Mailman, that's your client, I'm willing to bet. See the "Archived at:" URL from your post on Mailman Users copied below. There's a line break after "at:", but none in the URL which is 109 characters long. Also compare the URLs in the footer of the mail you'll receive through the list. If you see line breaks in any of these URLs, that's not Mailman.

Well, I haven't tried this and I don't recommend it, but while the intent of settings.py is to assign values to various known attributes, it is a Python module which is imported and could contain any valid Python code including code to read, modify and rewrite .../site-packages/postorius/forms/list_forms.py.

But... here is a thing that I can not understand: If the source (the .po file) is from november 7th, it doesn't matter how many times you recompile it: the result will be the same. I did what Mark recommended.

I appreciate that so much. But is evident to me that something fails in the translation path chain of upgrades. If you access the postorius web to manage subscriptions you can see a full mixed language words. It's not a life or death item... but it has not to be that way as the terms, as far as I know, are 100% translated (at least in spanish). And the subscriptors complain. If that is not a thing that the release manager can do, well... We are stucked, isn't it? I don think it has to be a matter of "automate production of pip'able packages containing only new translations": a new version has just released and the localization languages, at least spanish, were not merged into it for the last Weblate updates. I will wait untill the next update, this thread is closed to me.

Problems after Upgrade

by Jeff

Hello, I tried to upgrade to the latest mailman3 version using the following command: pip install -U mailman postorius django-mailman3 hyperkitty mailman-web mailmanclient There didn’t appear to be any problems with this step and I’ve since run it again a few times and only see that the requirements have been satisfied. When first running the command: mailman-web migrate I received several errors dealing with search_text in the package compressor (at least that’s as best as I remember, I wasn’t taking notes). I fixed these manually by changing it to search_str. Eventually "mailman-web migrate” started working and has subsequently worked.
