Hi,

Hi,

I’ve got headers and footers working on individual mailing lists perfectly now, but I’ve a couple of questions which I can’t seem to find in the docs...

Can we setup a default footer that is applied to all lists when they are created in such a way that it can’t be turned off or changed?

Not yet and that's too bad. We plan to make it possible, but that must be done in such a way that former Sympa users won't lose their beloved preexisting headers and footers in the process.

Can you use parameters in the footer as well. For example if were to add a footer along the lines of

‘You are subscribed to list [% list.name %] as [% user.email %].

To unsubscribe from this list please either visit our website or send a blank email to [% list.name %]-unsubscribe@[% list.host %].’

No yet. That would be done along with the preceding point.

I’d like to make sure that all of our lists have the details and options to unsubscribe and preferably if it cannot be turned off or edited by the various list-owners although that is less important at the moment.

You can prevent list owners from editing footers and headers by tweaking the edit_list.conf file (http://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/list-creation#list_editing).
We plan to convert footers and headers files into templates. This way :
- you could use parameters inside them;
- they could have a default value for any list inside a host or virtual host.

Regards,

Jason
