Ezmlm-www
This is one of the numerous web interface to browse archives of ezmlm. Of course you first need of install ezmlm system and its admin web interface here
alternative use could be http://untroubled.org/ezmlm-browse/ but no contribs available
History
Some years ago (2.5) User:PicsOne has published a how-to in the forum http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=27460.0 for install mharc mailist web publisher in sme6. Now I have found a little but good app to do the same: publish ezmlm archives on the web beautify.
Author
The author is Alessandro Ranellucci and the aplication is ezmlm-www and can be found at http://ezmlm-www.sourceforge.net/
Version
Installation
suggested first install smeserver-ezmlm-web to administer your mailing lists using the server-manager and ezmlm-web see ezmlm
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-ezmlm-www
Of course you must have installed and configured ezmlm as described here: Ezmlm
If you do not have the Dag repository configured you should do so:
You need to activate the Dag reposity before installing this contrib.
see dag repository
Install the perl dependancy:
yum --enablerepo=dag install perl-Mail-Box perl-User-Identity perl-TimeDate perl-Email-Simple perl-Plucene perl-KinoSearch
Install ezmlm-www:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install perl-Mail-Ezmlm-Archive smeserver-ezmlm-www
Basic Configuration
unless you do the following step no mailing list will display on your public web interface
go to your ezmlm-web admin interface in the option/archive section to configure your mailing lists to "Archive mailing list messages" and "Index mailing list messages for WWW archive access"
then with cli you should do
db accounts setprop MYLIST DisplayArchives enabled signal-event smeserver-ezmlm-www-update
then run
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/ezw-search-create
and voila, next a cron task will handle the update hourly
if one of your list is displaying but show no month, this is because it was not previously archived / indexed , the workaround :
ezmlm-archive /home/e-smith/files/ezmlm/lists/MYLIST
Access at http://yourserver/mailinlist and see if run ok.
Note that indexing is done incrementally, so it will be faster when just updating.
Advanced Configuration
here are some properties available to configure your list for the mailinglist type of the db accounts. They are also all available using the web admin panel provided by the contribution [Ezmlm].
