HOWTO get the syscp mailman module work with froxlor

October 7, 201015 yr

Please note:

(1) Please BACKUP your froxlor folder and your froxlor database before you continue with this HOWTO
(2) This HOWTO is an alpha state and not completely tested. Therefore you may change some lines to make it fit to work on your system.
(3) You will loose changes in your language file, when you update your froxlor installation. So you have to do STEP 3 more than one time (everytime after you've updated froxlor).
(4) It uses $froxpath to shorten the path to the directory froxlor is installed and to be machine indepentent. $froxpath may differ on each installtion. The next lines will give you some examples:
- If you have installed the froxlor files under /var/www, $froxpath is /var/www
- If you have installed the forxlor files under /var/www/localhost/htdocs/froxlor, $froxpath is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/froxlor

ASSUMPTION: You have all files from syscp mailman module (if not, you may get it here: http://www.syscp-for...hp?topic=3541.0 and note, that you have to be logged in to get the download link)

STEP 1: Changes in the database.

Run the following commands:

CREATE TABLE modules_mailman (
 id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
 `type` enum('list','update','new','delete','system','del_archive') NOT NULL default 'list',
 customerid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
 domainid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
 listid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
 list_name tinytext NOT NULL,
 list_webhost tinytext NOT NULL,
 list_owner tinytext NOT NULL,
 list_mailhost tinytext NOT NULL,
 transport tinytext NOT NULL,
 list_password tinytext NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY  (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

INSERT INTO `panel_settings` (`settinggroup`, `varname`, `value`) VALUES
('mailman', 'system_newlist_path', '/usr/sbin/newlist'),
('mailman', 'system_rmlist_path', '/usr/sbin/rmlist'),
('mailman', 'system_config_list_path', '/usr/sbin/config_list'),
('mailman', 'system_list_lists_path', '/usr/sbin/list_lists'),
('mailman', 'system_genaliases_path', '/usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases'),
('mailman', 'system_newaliases_path', '/usr/bin/newaliases'),
('mailman', 'system_change_pw_path', '/usr/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw'),
('mailman', 'system_withlist_path', '/usr/sbin/withlist'),
('mailman', 'system_mailman_cgi-bin_path', '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/'),
('mailman', 'system_mailman_images_path', '/usr/share/images/mailman/'),
('mailman', 'system_mailman_data_path', '/var/lib/mailman/');

INSERT INTO 
`cronjobs_run` 
SET
`module` = 'mailman/mailman',
`cronfile` = 'mailmanscript.php', 
`interval` = '1 HOUR', 
`isactive` = '1', 
`desc_lng_key` = 'cron_mailman'
;

STEP 2: File upload:

upload modules_admin_mailman.php to $froxpath/modules_admin_mailman.php
upload modules_customer_mailman.php to $froxpath/modules_customer_mailman.php
upload all template files (after having done, your $froxpath/templates/admin directory and $froxpath/templates/customer directory will contain a new subdirectory called modules)

STEP 3: Adept language files.

open $froxpath/lng/german.lng.php

insert before ?>

ATTENTION: Step 4 is COMPLETELY WRONG - please don't do that! You WILL run into errors as the Froxlor Cronjob does not work this way anymore

October 7, 201015 yr

Author

STEP 4 rewritten and minor changes in STEP 2 (the upload of the mailmanscript.php file was cut off. The file will applied in step 4)

November 23, 201015 yr

I will post a complete tar.gz again as i used to... But it will take some time as i want to ensure that everything works fine with the current version of froxlor
