/sympa/reject/ URLS no longer working

[dpc22]

Version

6.2.72

Installation method

My own rpm, derived from the "official" Redhat RPM

Expected behavior

When a message is sent to a moderated list the list moderators receive an email of the form:

Subject: Message for list test-dpc22 from dpc22@cam.ac.uk to be approved

One new message for list test-dpc22 from [dpc22@cam.ac.uk](mailto:dpc22@cam.ac.uk) arrived.

1 messages are awaiting moderation.
To view the messages, please click on the following URL:

To reject it (it will be removed):
https://lists.cam.ac.uk/sympa/reject/test-dpc22/3d616cd73a0d1471d20d614513e7a2fb

The list moderator should be able to click on the link at the bottom to reject the message.

Actual behavior

When I click on the link I see the following error:

Internal Server Error

Sympa encountered an internal error.

Please contact the listmaster.

Error: Parameter $tpl is not defined at /usr/share/sympa/lib/Sympa/Message/Template.pm line 64.

We see a trickle of these "Parameter $tpl is not defined" errors in the Sympa logs each day.

The last significant event was an upgrade from 6.2.70 to 6.2.72 back in July. I infer that it was probably working before that point, and that increased activity at the start of term has caused someone to actually report the issue.

You can apply the patch from https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/pull/1687 🙂
