I'd also be grateful for an answer to the questions that Jim raises. Slightly tangentially, are there any examples where people have successfully created subscription management pages where list members can manage their subscriptions to a set of, for instance, half a dozen lists rather than managing different lists through separate pages?

Thanks, I'm a long time majordomo user very new to Sympa... my organization's first trial system up and running just in the past couple of weeks and I'm impressed and appreciative of all the fine work done to create Sympa.

- (Related:) I want to have an addition field in the database, "company". It seems obvious to me that this should go in the user table, but from what I can tell wwsympa only uses additional fields from the subscriber table. Do I have to mirror all my additional fields into the subscriber table?


For the time being, I added the company field to both tables, and have
populated it with data. (I'm not too concerned right now with the
obvious data integrity issue!) I'm now trying to get wwsympa to update
it. I've slightly whacked editsubscriber.us.tpl to show the field, and
it does indeed show it correctly. However, if I change it via the form,
the database does not change. Am I missing something small, or is there
more to it than editing the template to make it show up? Can you give
me an outline what I need to do to make it work?

Thanks!
Jim
