rarpsl Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I am setting up an Announcement Only Mailing List using Mailman (as supported via the cPanel). There is text in the Welcome Message and other Message Text Templates that I want to delete since the text is not applicable to this type of list. For example, the text explains how to post to the list. This should not be there since posting by subscribers is not allowed. Can this Template Text be edited? If so, how do I do it? I see that there are menus to add text but this seems to be to add ADDITIONAL text to the supplied template not to replace it. What I can place text to say to ignore the instructions, this would confuse the subscribers and is not the optimum solution. Thank you. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I do not believe so because it is in shared space. You may be able to edit templates with PHPList though. Quote

I will need to look at PHPList to see if it fits my needs. OTOH: I might just use the "Add Text" option to just say to ignore the info. As it is, any attempt to post is being trapped and triggering a "You can not Post" response message so it is more an issue of supplying inaccurate info than allowing posting. Quote
rarpsl Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I do not believe so because it is in shared space. You may be able to edit templates with PHPList though. I went to the source (The Mailman support site) and found this FAQ (http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030685) that told me how to do what I wanted since TCH has the requisite 2.1.6+ level of the package. I have used this info and fixed my problem. Hopefully this will help others who have this same issue (assuming that they see this article) Edited March 5, 2009 by rarpsl Quote

I reviewed them and have found some good hints there that have made some of the things I want to do much easier. Quote
