Add owner with non-default options, e.g. "privileged" profile, not working in Sympa 6.2.67b.3

[dpc22]

Version

6.2.67b.3

Installation method

My own rpm.

Expected behavior

If I add a new owner to a list with "privileged owner" set, they should be added as a privileged owner.

Actual behavior

The new owner is added as a normal owner, which I then have to go in and change via the edit owner dialogue.

[dpc22]

The two checkboxes on the "Add moderators" dialogue seem to have the same problem:

no notifications
concealed from list menu

[dpc22]

I infer that this is in some way related to:

default_owner_options owner read
default_editor_options owner read

which are new in 6.2.67

[ikedas]

Owner addition specifying their attributes has not yet implemented. It will be postponed to the next of next stable.

[dpc22]

Okay, I think that this will confuse my users unless the various checkboxes (which currently do not function) are removed.

I can always wait until 6.2.70

Another vote to fix this bug. We have had this issue called to our attention. We are running 6.2.68 on CentOS 7.

@dpc22, @iulistadmin (#1329) and @renesepp (#1361), could you please apply this patch to check if the problem will be solved? Thank you.

[dpc22]

Will do, although it will probably be a couple of weeks now because of Easter and other leave.

Thanks for fixing this. It was stopping me from upgrading to 6.2.68.

[iulistadmin]

Thanks @ikedas! We don't seem to have wwsympa.fcgi.in. In our installation, there is /usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi. It looks like this is the file to modify, but when I applied the patch, it broke the web UI.

[ikedas]

@iulistadmin , is the permission (file mode) of wwsympa.fcgi correct? If patch is applied, sometimes execution bits are cleared. The mode should be 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

[iulistadmin]

@ikedas, that was the problem. I should have been more careful and checked the permissions on that file. Having the correct permissions set, the patches applied, it is now setting the privileged owners correctly. So, this has resolved the issue for us. Thank you!

[ikedas]

@iulistadmin , thank you for confirming! The patch will be merged soon.
@dpc22, this issue will be closed soon, but if you noticed anything, please feel free to comment on this page.

[dpc22]

A bit late, but I can confirm that this seems to have fixed the problem for me. Thanks.

Oh, one small thing. "default_owner_options" and "default_editor_options" are grouped under "Sending/receiving setup":

    default_owner_options => {
        context         => [qw(list domain site)],
        order           => 20.06_02,
        group           => 'sending',
    [...]
    default_editor_options => {
        context         => [qw(list domain site)],
        order           => 20.06_03,
        group           => 'sending',

I would have expected these two options to appear under "Privileges" or maybe "Miscellaneous". It doesn't really seem to be a "sending" option.

[ikedas]

Makes sense. It'll be fixed.

Thanks everyone. Can we get a new release with this fix included?
