As a consquence you need to use mailmanctl restart after changing templates so that the qrunners will pick up the new versions from disk and incorporate them in to into their caches. The following information quoted from $prefix/Mailman/Uils.py may be of use to you: <quote> # When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 places # that are searched, in this order: # # 1. the list-specific language directory # lists/<listname>/<language> # # 2. the domain-specific language directory # templates/<list.host_name>/<language> # # 3. the site-wide language directory # templates/site/<language> # # 4. the global default language directory # templates/<language> # # The first match found stops the search. In this way, you can specialize # templates at the desired level, or, if you use only the default # templates, you don't need to change anything. You should never modify # files in the templates/<language> subdirectory, since Mailman will # overwrite these when you upgrade. That's what the templates/site # language directories are for. # # A further complication is that the language to search for is determined # by both the `lang' and `mlist' arguments. The search order there is # that if lang is given, then the 4 locations above are searched, # substituting lang for <language>. If no match is found, and mlist is # given, then the 4 locations are searched using the list's preferred # language. After that, the server default language is used for # <language>. If that still doesn't yield a template, then the standard # distribution's English language template is used as an ultimate # fallback. If that's missing you've got big problems. ;) # </quote> Note that you should not make changes to templates in the $prefix/Mailman/templates directory as those changes will be lost when you next upgrade Mailman; put your changed templates under $prefix/templates/site/ if, for instance, you want them to apply to all lists on your server in place of the defaults. > Thanks, > > Pedro Rodriguez Gomez > > _______________________________________________________________________ > _ > This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by EMEA. > _______________________________________________________________________ > _ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Barrett http://www.openinfo.co.uk ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by EMEA. ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
