[edit] Creating a Useful List Description

Each list has a "homepage" in the form of an address in the form of:

http://lists.occupy.net/lists/info/<your-list-name>

Whether someone subscribes to a list via an email command, or visits the site to click the subscribe button, this is an opportunity to give them important information:

  • Purpose
  • Guidelines or policies
  • History (Perhaps the list grew out of a meeting or project)
  • Related Lists or sites

[edit] User Management

[edit] Blacklisting Users and Domains

Administrators can prevent individual addresses or entire domains from sending messages to a list by blacklisting them. To blacklist a user, log in with an admin profile, go to "manage group", to "blacklist" and add the email address or domain you would like to restrict from posting to the list.

[edit] Adding Users

Administrators can add a user by logging in as an admin going to the List > Manage Group > Manage Subscribers and adding their name where it says "Add a Single Subscriber". Fill out their email address and then click "add" to subscribe them or "send invitation" to email them a request to join the list.

To add multiple people at one time, go to the List > Manage Group > Manage Subscribers > Import, add an email address on each line and then either click "add" to subscribe everyone on the list or "send invitation" to email them a request to join the list.

[edit] Subscribe Form Code for Embedding on Other Sites

You can add a list-subscription form to your own page/site by using the following HTML code.

<form method="post" action="http://lists.occupy.net/lists" class="bold_label">
       <fieldset>
         <label for="email">Your email address (optionally followed
by a space and your name): </label><br>
         <input type="text" size="30" name="email"><br>
         <input type="hidden" value="list-name" name="list">
         <input type="hidden" value="subrequest" name="action">
         <input type="hidden" value="1" name="via_subrequest">
       <input type="submit" value="submit" name="action_subrequest"
class="MainMenuLinks">
       </fieldset>
        </form>

Replace list-name with the name of the list you just created.
