The plugin didn’t list all my lists.
I checked the code and found that the mailman.class.php::lists() method used the following regular expression:
$match='#<tr.*?>\s+<td><a href="(.+?)"><strong>(.+?)</strong></a></td>\s+<td><em>(.+?)</em></td>\s+</tr>#i';
However, in some cases, the list comment is not embedded in an <em> tag, leading the list to be hidden silently.
I fixed that by changing the regular expression to:
$match='#<tr.*?>\s+<td><a href="(.+?)"><strong>(.+?)</strong></a></td>\s+<td>[<em>]?(.+?)[</em>]?</td>\s+</tr>#i';
Done.
]]>I have set up everything as recommended but my Mailman lists won’t show in the widgets popup menu so I cannot select any Mailman list at all.
Do you still support this widget which really seems to be what I was looking for?
]]>A client currently uses the Mailman service and the new website is being built in WordPress. He is concerned that under the FAQ it is noted that the admin password must be stored as plain text. His site has had several hack attempts and he is apprehensive about using the widget. However, this would be the most effective route at this point since he has a history with the Mailman service.
Has the security issue with the admin password been resolved?
Many thanks for your time!
]]>The plugin is installed and looks like it working but nobody can subscribe to mailing list.
Mailman widget produces an error message every time someone tries to opt-in to mailing list :
There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again.
Also in widgets screen, under General Settings, mailing list name drop down control has no values. Mailman list server only has a single list however.
Thank you.
]]>Hello,
I’m using a Debian system and integrating mailman in our wordpress would be awesome. But I can’t get it to work correcty.
I don’t know what exactly is the Mailman URL Admin Key. I tought it was only the /mailman/admin location; but I doesn’t worked.
The list of ‘lists’ isn’t populated.
Any suggestions?
]]>tried using this on sub site on Multisite network and widget does not see the Mailman list from select drop down box … thus does not work … cs
]]>After providing my Admin URL, I placed the MailMan Widget into one of my sidebars, and I receive the following error message (minus the delineating asterisks):
*************************
file_get_contents(mail.c30sconquerthedragon.com/mailman/admin/info_c30sconquerthedragon.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/grazfam/public_html/wp-dev/wp-content/plugins/mailman-widget/lib/mailman.class.php on line 22

Thanks in advance for anything you can do to fix this soon!

]]>Okay, first I’m VERY VERY new to all this. I’ve never made a website in my life. I’m not a developer or anything. So please answer as if you’re speaking to an idiot.
I uploaded the mailmain to the correct file directory. I activated it and told it my mailman list name, then dragged it to a sidebar.
But it says:
Warning: file_get_contents([email protected]) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rfouts/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailman-widget/lib/mailman.class.php on line 22
What have I done wrong? I have a site on hostgator, and mailman came with it. I’ve checked mailman, and that is the name of the group.
]]>Hi hm2k,
Somebody created a better fetcher for mailman widget, please check the code at:
It has an curl_init check if there is curl support and it has time-outs opt so WordPress won’t hang if the plugin is enabled.
Note: you should check the code, it’s untested.
Please, fix it ??
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Melroy van den berg
Turned on the widget, got a blank page instead of the plugins page as it refreshed to show the change; checked the front page and it was also coming up blank. Deleted the plugin files from the server and everything worked ok again.
]]>Hi!
I think I’ve found a bug in the MailMan Widget:
there must not exist an GNU mailman description! Otherwise the drop down list where you can selcet the mailinglist you want to use, will stay empty! I tried this with several gnu mailman installations and it’s allways the same.
The GNU mailman field which has to be empty is: “description (general)”
I tried it with GNU mailman 2.1.9
Thanks for this very usefull widget! It would be great if use of description would work properly!
Kind regards, wporso
]]>i’m trying to drag it to widgets like it says in the installation instructions, but i can’t drag it to the right.
]]>Unfortunately I can’t seem to “Check out the blank repository” as per the instructions here:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/about/svn/#task-1
This is the error:
Checkout from https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/mailman-widget, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
URL ‘https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/mailman-widget’ doesn’t exist
So, unfortunately, this plugin will remains unreleased until this is resolved.
