Обсуждение: Need "subscribe to this list" link from archives
WWW, In the changes to archives.postgresql.org, the link for "subscribe to this list" got eliminated entirely. As a result, someone browsing pgsql-performance archives and got there from google, for example, has no idea how to subscribe to -performance unless they're already familiar with our site structure. We should have a link on every page of the archives to the subscription form, at least. Thanks! -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Thanks! Doesn't seem unreasonable. Can you provide a patch? --Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Maybe it's enough to just have a well-placed link to the general subscription form? --Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

That was my attention at first, except that there are a couple hundred lists on the "choose list" drop-down, and they're alphabetically ordered, which means the first two dozen or so are region-specific lists. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Uh? It's 77 lists. Of which 69 are shown. That's pretty far from "a couple of hundred". That said, it would be nice to make that thing a bit neater. Not sure how easy it is to do under the standard form, but with a custom template we should be able to use optgroup tags at least. That should make it more user friendly - you think it would be enough? Otherwise I guess we could create one form for each subgroup - e.g. a /community/lists/subscribe/developer/. But that seems like a worse solution to the potential problem. Actually, maybe a good option is to link to /community/lists/subscribe/#pgsql-hackers (or whatever), and then have a javascript run on that page that sets the default value of the dropdown to whatever is in the anchor link? --Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

How do I figure out the numbers, though? And are they stable? It's the "id" surrogate key from the db. It's also what's present in the <option value=#> part which is what it matches on. And yes, they're stable. --Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
