The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Matthias,

Yes there is another way:

- first, make sure that in every list you create, nobody is allowed to use the shared and that it is not created; This can be achieved by not setting the "shared_doc" list parameter. Just make sure it doesn't appear in the list config and the shared won't be created.
- then, make sure that nobody can modify this configuration. This will be done by editing the "edit_list.conf" file (see: https://www.sympa.org/manual/list-creation#list_editing for more informations).  Adding an line looking like the one below should achive this goal:
shared_doc            listmaster,privileged_owner,owner            hidden

Regards,

David

Hi Matthias,

This is pretty well documented in
<http://www.sympa.org/manual/shared-documents>:
        A list's shared documents are stored in
        the /home/sympa/expl/mylist/shared directory. This directory
        is either created via the Create shared web admin feature, or
        at list creation time, if the list shared_doc parameter is
        set. If you don't want the document repository to be created,
        you should remove the shared_doc parameter from the
        corresponding create_list_templates/xx/config.tt2 files.
PS : note that this kind of question is not specific to Sympa beta
versin and should therefore be asked in the sympa-users mailing list.
    

Actually, what we're looking for is some way of disabling shared
documents totally and completely, so not even list owners and
listmasters can create shared document spaces (the reason being that
people are supposed to use our e-learning platform for document sharing
and nothing else). Of course we could just delete the appropriate
controls from the TT2 files, but maybe there's some more elegant way...

Thank you,
M.W.
