RE: [Mailman-Users] Archives in HTML?
I shoulda just waited. :) Someone sent a message to one of my lists and it automatically took care of the Archives. :) Now I need to learn how to customize the display in Mhonarc - which as they say at the end of some movies, 'But that is another story...'

Believe me - I'M the ignorant one when it comes to this. :) The SME Server is just a distribution of Linux (www.e-smith.org) that has all the stuff built in to run everything for web that you configure via a web interface. The 'specialized' version of stuff I was talking about was just packaged by another SME Server user that places the files where they need to be for THAT particular distribution - hence the files aren't in the 'usual' place per the installation instructions for mhonarc. Like, my archives are located in /opt/mailman/archives and mhonarc is located in /opt/mailman/mhonarc instead of /var/mhonarc. So I'm all confused. :/ Jim Hale --- 'The OS Tells The PC What To Do With Itself" - Me, 1990 --- Visit Our MIDI & Digital Audio Website at http://hale.dyndns.org -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matthew Davis Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 9:28 PM To: Jim Hale Cc: 'Mailing List - Mailman' Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Archives in HTML? * Jim Hale ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > I went and pulled mhonarc and have it installed but I need to find out > how to make Mailman look at it instead of Pipermail - problem is that > I'm running all this on an SME server so everything is not in the > exact location like in the instructions. First I don't know what SME means (sorry for my ignorance). So I hope this applies to you. There are a few ways to do this. I'd say 2 of the easiest are as follows. See the ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX section in Mailman/Defaults.py and set the setting as you need to in mm_cfg.py. 1. Use the existing mbox file located in archives/private/.mbox/.mbox Then you can point mhonarc to that file and update from that file. The rest is configuring mhonarc and its templates to suite your needs. With this option you would have to regenerate occasionally.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Archives in HTML?
I went and pulled mhonarc and have it installed but I need to find out how to make Mailman look at it instead of Pipermail - problem is that I'm running all this on an SME server so everything is not in the exact location like in the instructions. I guess you could say that I'm running 'specialized' versions of Mailman/Mhonarc/HTDig that someone packaged up specifically for the SME Server - just hoping maybe someone here has run into the same situation.

Use something like Mhonarc as your archive application. Pipermail doesn't do a good job with html. Another alternative is to write a small script that converts the html into text inside the mbox that the archive program uses (lynx will help you do this). Then you can delete the old archives and re-archive using the ~mailman/bin/arch command. I'm still playing with version 2.1 of Mailman so I don't know if it has this functionality built into it.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Archives in HTML?
Is it possible to set up Mhonarc without re-archiving everything, and then try re-archiving using Mhonarc, but have things such that if I can't get Mhonarc working I can easily re-archive with Pipermail? The FAQ still says "A HOWTO for this was posted to the mailman-developers list and should be copied in here once someone finds it." Basically, my setup is such that I don't particularly care if the archives have to be down for a few hours or even days, but changing to Mhonarc isn't so important that I want to try it if things might go wrong and leave me with NO archives - especially seeing as I don't really know anything about Mhonarc, except that everyone seems to thinks it's better than Pipermail.
