Server Settings: Advanced: Enable Features

Enable newsgroups

ListManager is able to act as a secure, private Newsgroup server, so that the mailing lists being run on your ListManager are also available via a news browser program, such as Netscape News, Agent, "rn", or Internet Explorer.

If you do not want this capability, you can disable it server-wide with this option, or it can be disabled on a list by list basis. For more information about newsgroup support in ListManager, see Usenet Newsgroups.

Show all lists

By default, this setting is set to "No, When Message Reading, Only Show the Lists for the Current Site." When members go to view all lists in the discussion forum interface, they see only the lists for the site they are logged into. If the visitor does not specify a list, the site that comes first alphabetically will be displayed. For example, if you have two sites on a server, cars and boats, the main discussion forum URL may bring you to the lists on the boats site, as it comes first alphabetically. The All Forums tab will only show those lists belonging to those sites.

To have all lists displayed, change this setting to "Yes, When Message Reading, Show All Lists for All Sites."

Enable legends in reports

This is a server-wide option for turning on the legends feature in reports. The default is set to "Yes". When legends are enabled, reports will display a legend describing the meaning of each color (line, bar, etc.) and a description. For instance, in the Send success & failure report, the legend shows one color for "failed mailing attempts" and another for "successful mails sent", with a brief description of what these mean. If legends are not enabled, the chart will say "unknown" or "undefined" in place of the description.

Note that for each chart, a legend can be viewed even if this server-wide setting is set to "No" by clicking the "?" beneath each chart.

Enable content internationalization

If you are going to be using any international characters when creating content, a server administrator must enable this feature here in order for the Internationalization feature to appear and function properly.

If content internationalization is not enabled, the Internationalization tabs will not appear in the Contents and Mailings sections. See Content: New Content: Internationalization and Mailings: New Mailing: Internationalization for more information.

If this feature is not enabled, the default is the ISO-8859-1 character set and 8bit encoding.

Make long home page queries optional

Some of the reports available on the home page may take a long time to be displayed. When set to "yes", this setting prevents these reports from being generated automatically when visiting the home page, which allows the home page to be displayed much more quickly. The individual reports may be generated if desired by clicking the appropriate buttons.

Default language

Select the default language for the server from the drop-down menu (if nothing is set, English is the default). This sets the language that the ListManager interface will be in. To have other languages available for the web interface, you must run the command line function dbimporttranslations to import the translations. By default, they are not installed when installing or upgrading ListManager because they take a long time to import and can affect the performance of the web interface.
