Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

When displaying the lists, Sympa uses the current robot the user is 
browsing. which means it won't even search the other robots for it.
I guess this could be something controlled by a parameter.

To display the "your lists" panel, Sympa uses the list returned by 
List::get_which(user,robot,role).
You could extend this function to return list from several robots. 
Currently, it returns an array. Maybe it could return a hash with a 
structure like :

root-->robot1-->list1
     |             |--> list2  
     |             |--> list3  
     |             |--> ...
     |-->robot2-->list1
     |             |--> list2  
     |             |--> list3  
     |             |--> ...
     |-->....

But keep in mind that it could mean a change in the code anywhere this 
function is called.
I guess you could start by creating a new function (something like 
List::get_which_large(user,robot,role) where "robot" could be either a 
reference to an array containing the robots to search, or a string like 
"all" to search all the robots.
We could later redirect calls to List::get_which to List::get_which_large.

Additionnally, you could add a control in wwsympa.fcgi (defined 
according to a new parameter value) in the section around lines 
1112-1151 which could define which function to call.

Any reactions about the proposed behaviour ?
