If you wrote a management command, you could add it to the crontab for
your VPS with it running every 30 mins or faster, that syncs any user
that isn't already in sympa.

You could have a boolean field on a profile of a user, and when a user
is successfully added to Sympa, the boolean is set to true.

That way you don't have to catch any events, just make sure your cron
job runs regularly to keep the two in sync.
Cheers,
Dan

Re: Sync user objects with sympa mailinglist

[Dexter]

Hi thanks for your replies,

I couldn't run the django page on a different server, because I only have
one VPS running.

But I understand there isn't a way to catch "events" on a database update.

Grtz, Dexter

You would have to write a management command that did the sync.

Your command could then make use of the bulk load command as outlined here:

http://www.sympa.org/manual_6.1/database#importing_data_from_a_text_file

All you would need is a management command that either wrapped around
that creating a stream of text which could then be piped in or that it
did that for you.

Alternatively if you wanted to run the django instance on a different
machine (recommended++) you could make use of their SOAP server.

I would recommend having a look at Suds, a really nice python package
for talking to soap services.

sympa has nothing to do with django, you would be better asking this
message on the sympa mailing list.

Hi,

I'm just trying to run a mailinglist now, but when I set alias_manager in
sympa.conf, I get the following error:

unknown field: alias_manager in sympa.conf

How should I set my alias_manager?
