[Mailman-Users] Configuring the UI of Mailmain interface

[Jessica Martin]

Greetings Mailman community,

I have successfully installed and am using Mailman, and now I would like
to just clean it up.

For example, there are several confirmation pages. I would like to
customize the font info using a stylesheet. Is this possible?

I would also like to customize the text on these confirm/authorization
pages as well, what the text says on these pages to make it more
personalized. Possible?

Also, with the language feature when people subscribe, the languages are
rendering in the title ONLY of my confirm pages, but not in the text
itself (Because I made customized text perhaps?) Does the language feature
only work with the default text remains intact?

Lastly, I want to link the images of Mailman, Python, and that Moose image
(what page does it represent?) anyway I want to link these images to the
appropriate home pages. Possible? How?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Jessica

Some but not all e-mail text and web HTML is in template files in
templates//. That which is derived from templates is easily
customizable. The rest requires source code modification and possibly
modification of i18n translated messages to do any customization.

Information on customizing templates is in the FAQ at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp

If you made customized text by changing text inside _() in source code,
you also have to change the appropriate
messages//LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po file and then rebuild the
corresponding mailman.mo file with bin/msgfmt.py

It's a gnu, not a moose.

>From the INSTALL document (or from
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node10.html)

- Copy the Mailman, Python, and GNU logos to a location accessible
  to your web server.  E.g. with Apache, you've usually got an
  `icons' directory that you can drop the images into.  For
  example:

% cp $prefix/icons/*.{jpg,png} /path/to/apache/icons

  You then want to add a line to your $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
  file which sets the base URL for the logos.  For example:

  IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/'

  The default value for IMAGE_LOGOS is '/icons/'.  Read the
  comment in Defaults.py.in for details.

I think she wants (and so do I) to link the gnu icon to www.gnu.org, etc.
Is there any
way for that, short of modifying code?

No, I believe you must modify the code (Mailman/htmlformat.py) to make  
them into live links (the way it makes the text versions live if you  
set IMAGE_LOGOS = 0).  You're right it would be more consistent if they  
were live in both the image and text versions.

I've put a small patch showing one way to do this in the patch tracker.  
 (It applies to both 2.1.5 and 2.1.6b4.)

Thanks, just what I need.  In fact, on python.org, they say of their logo "
The logo should be linked to the Python web site".

Try reading the INSTALL document.  It says:
- Copy the Mailman, Python, and GNU logos to a location accessible
  to your web server.  E.g. with Apache, you've usually got an
  `icons' directory that you can drop the images into.  For
