Problem with german "speaking" Mailman 10 Months ago

Hi,

a had a problem with the configuration. After a code review I found the problem:

In admin.mailinglist.php at line 266

Code:

 

// check the mailman listinfo page for the `example.com Mailing Lists` title

$page = MailmanHelper::get($this->mailmanUrl."/listinfo");

if(!preg_match('/<title>.*?Mailing Lists<\/title>/i',$page)) {

        return false;

}

The preferred language for my Mailman is german, so this statement returns false.

My dirty hack is:

Code:

 // check the mailman listinfo page for the `example.com Mailing Lists` title

$page = MailmanHelper::get($this->mailmanUrl."/listinfo");

/*if(!preg_match('/<title>.*?Mailing Lists<\/title>/i',$page)) {

      return false;

}*/

This can be only a workaround.

Any suggestions?

The intention is clear, bur there must be another way to solve this issue.

Nevertheless I think it is a great piece of software.

Regards

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten, hi all the others, I couldn't get this component working because of "incorrect settings" - until I saw this thread. With this, really 'quick and dirty', hack saving the settings works! But I'm not sure if the component works with all functions right now. Regards Marco

Hi, folks,

you're right. I didn't explore side effects but it works. The problem seems to be the a form of acknowledge. Is it Mailman or not? IMHO this question is obsolete, because the authentication against Mailman is enough.

I hope there is a maintainer working on it.

Another thing is the problem with the right charset encoding. Joomla 1.5.x prefers utf-8 but mailman iso-8859-1, e.g. "german umlaut" in the description part leads to strange results.

Anyway, this is not the problem.

Is there a Bugtracker for this?

Bye

Thorsten
