I did try that as well and got another error (what a pain). I'm sure it's just server config, so I'm trying to work around it.

Here is the error I got

Can't locate MIME/Base64.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/MIME/Words.pm line 85.

Outstanding script! Thanks for all your hard work.

I have to report an error, though. I have all the perl modules, and the MySQL database was properly reconfigured using the provided SQL queries, but some error prevents downloaded messages from being inserted into my database.

Okay ... the sub-forum exists.

The newsgroup definitely exists, and the hack is set up so newsgroup messages will be dumped into the existing subforum.

You have been sucking old messages first. If you change to "show 60 days" in your forum, you can see there is a lot of messages. Just keep on sucking or increase the batch number (or go to group with newsreader, check message id from "not so old" message and update that to last message numger in groups.

My users notced, that my board doesn't thread messages correctly to usenet server! I'm using Vb 2.7 and all code changes are made.

If I look the html source from newreply, I can see the inreplyto value, but in database inreplyto fields are empty??

Could this be the reason? Everything used to be ok, but I had to reinstall everything during server change.

Found a bug!

When replying to the message WITHOUT preview, code gives a inreplyto value.
When using preview reply, value goes blank!

The new and improved version of this hack is already re-written and has been running on my site for several months. It's all object oriented and just requires a drop-in 'forum' module to work with vB3 or any other version. Obviously a 2.2.9 module is already written.

Basically, an article object is passed to the forum module for insertion, so any forum vendor or version can be easily supported.

The reasons I haven't released it yet are:
1) I still make tweaks every week to the code.
2) There is no easy upgrade path from the existing version.

But rest assured, as soon as vB3 is released, it will be released.

URGENT PLEASE!

I have some situation going with people at usenet groups.
They are claiming that I change or fraud the messages they have sent.

They noticed that newnews.pl performs some kind of spell checking while importing. Example:

In usenet -

Q. Is this cool
A. No, it's not

comes in forums like..

A. Is this cool
B. No, it's not

I did some further testing ( after I disabled all kind of things) and I sent this to usenet with my Outlook Express

n:n
A.
Q.
Z.
A.B
C.D

It came in like

n:n
o.
p.
q.
r.B
s.D

What the hell is going on :)

Any ideas?

-Joop

02-16-2003, 03:35 PM

This is caused by the Text::Autoformat module. It somethimes tries to be too clever and attempts to re-number lists... a bit like Microsoft and their annoying 'helpful' Word functions. :)

You can disable wordwrap on incoming articles by commenting out the following lines in newnews.pl
if ($body =~ /\w/o) {
$body = autoformat $body, {right=>$config{article_wrap},all=>1};
}
These appear twice. Once on or around line 446 and again around line 553.

The new version doesn't have this problem.

All due respect... I think if you dig deeper you will find the text formatting problem is more than just lists.

Check this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=245935#post245935

I have been scratching my head for a long time wondering how I'm the only one that seems to have the formatting problem. I've tried to fix the problem but gave up.

I figure one day I'll get an e-mail that vB3 is released and along with it will come a Usenet hack that works for posting. YeeeeHaaahhhh ;)

Until then I leave my boards read only.

Please don't take this as insulting, because it isn't meant to be, but, you need to seriously read up on what USENET is because I can't understand why this would even be a question.

Here's your first hint - who would sue you and why?

Hi Mate,

big thanks for this great hack, it is a real pleasure watching it running on our website with members browsing the 200,000+ usenet posts :cool:

In your hack there is one important feature missing, which you already included on your own website: the possibility to exclude those usenet postings from site searches ( http://dbforums.com/search.php ).

Would you be so kind and post the code change for the search.php? Unfortunatelly I am not so familiar with php & db programming like you are :squareeyed:

This is a very easy hack to install. Just download the file and read the instructions. If you still can't figure it out, PM me and I'll install it for you for free.

If you are going to use this on a shared hosting server, make sure you have plenty of space because the database can get very large very quickly.

Does this work okay on 2.26?

I'm currently using Gilby's without problems, however because it apparently 'top posts' and my newsgroups are not very tolerant, I won't switch the reply function on and they have to go use googles interface if they want to post.

I just had a look at VB3 for it's threaded feature, but I won't be installing. Would this hack do the job? The features sound fine, and I don't use binary groups so no problem. Just want it so that when it posts it will go to the correct thread on Usenet.

Also a bit worried about the Perl thing. I hear a lot of complaints about it; is it bad or something? My host has all the modules installed, and even though I'm on a shared server I've had no server probs with the php usenet hack. Will Perl double the server load or something, or is it just a techie preference??

Thanx for any advice. :)

-> fetching 658908... OK
NNTPERROR: 430 No Such Article

If I re-run it I get this:

-> fetching 658909... OK

I'm using giganews, its works fine if I use Outlook express to pull the posts.

Ok, this is a very serious question.

I have this script running on several sites.

I am getting posts from one NG, because a guy on there doesnt want us to connect to that public newsgroup.

He is infuriated, and is trying to cause trouble, and threatening legal action.

He is saying, all newsgroups, are private intellectual property, and that a site running this script is breaking the law.

Now what is the truth about this?

If that is true, then how does Yahoo, Google, and all the others do it?

This makes no sense. So as I understand what he is saying, we cant legally use this script?

How in the world can a newsgroup be a private posting area? Someone please shed some light on this?

PhoenixBB

11-14-2003, 03:03 AM

The guy is an idiot, and obviously doesn't understand how Usenet works. Tell him to check out Google (http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=) access to the NG's. They run essentially similar scripts to this. So do some other NG services, but I can't remember them offhand. The biggest one was Deja.com which was bought out by Google. There is essentially no difference in what they do and your script.

In fact there is no real difference between what your script does and a persons individual newsreader, whether that be Agent, Xnews, or whatever. Some people even use Outlook Express, (and wonder why the rest of the group get testy with them when they ask lameass questions - especially in the binary groups where OE isn't suitable). All these clients allow a person to read messages and download files on these servers, and it doesn't matter whether a person uses a client on their own machine, Googles site, or your site.

You might want to look up your newsgroups on Googles' interface, and give him the URLs. (Dunno whether they carry binaries though as I figure that would be too much of a bandwidth load).

Let him threaten Google too and see how far he gets. ;)

Newsgroups are public domain. If he wants his posts to remain only in the 'group' he is posting to then he should join a private mailing list or msn or yahoo group. Usenet works entirely differently and he's just making himself look like an ignorant arsehole.

Tell him to sod off, and don't go worrying about it. ;)

Thanks Phoenix, he has everyone in that group in an uproar, they are harrassing the board, phone calling one of the site owners, sending emails, the works.

PhoenixBB

11-14-2003, 05:49 AM

He needs to read this Usenet FAQ's (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/what-is/part1/) as he obviously has a huge misunderstanding about Usenet. There should be other faq's on there to bring him up to speed.

He and his friends are harrassing you - admittedly through ignorance of the situation - and if they look at the TOS of their ISP's they will see that they are committing "internet abuse". ISP's take that very seriously.

If having apraised them of the situation re Usenet, you were to let it be known that you might report them to the abuse department of their ISP's they could lose their internet accounts for their behaviour. You'll be able to find an abuse address in the headers of their posts. You'll probably need to use a proper newsreader for this, as I don't think these scripts show them. I use Gilby's for my board, but I don't think they include that info. (I tend to read the newsgroups with a newreader mainly.)

What it boils down to is that you are not committing any 'abuse' but they are. (I assume you don't spam them, NG's hate that and that's abuse). If your board is just acting as a client and your members are reading, and posting to the NGs you have nothing at all to worry about.

So yes, I'd make them aware of the facts re Usenet and point out that they are the ones committing internet abuse in breach of their ISP's TOS. That might hopefully put a stop to it.

Good luck. ;)

11-14-2003, 02:38 PM

So now, hes telling everyone to post in their signatures in that newsgroup ( about 10 of them ) to post "This posting is private property and not allowed to be posted on such and such website.

PhoenixBB

11-14-2003, 03:19 PM

LOL the guy is a halfwit. Nobody is posting *anything* to your site. You are merely downloading the newsgroup to your sites server the same way as he downloads the group to his computer. He replies thru his computer, your members reply thru the client of your board. Once posts are on the usenet servers (wherever that may be) nobody can control who gets to download them if they have a feed.

If his ISP decided not to have a newserver anymore (they have to pay for the service) well he'd have to look for a free one or use a service like Google or your site <snerk>

Just point out the facts to him and tell him if he doesn't cut it out not only is he showing himself up to be a fool, but you'll report him for harassment.

He can't win, so don't sweat it. :)

PhoenixBB

11-14-2003, 03:49 PM

Oh, you might want to mess with his head.......

Tell him your posts are not allowed to be posted on his computer anymore, because he's a moron and you find it offensive that he gets to read your stuff. His ISP newsserver gets the feed the same way your site gets the feed. Ask him how he plans to get his ISP to either a)stop carrying the group altogether in case it violates your intellectual property, or b)screen out your posts before they hit his computer. Can't be done can it?

The newsgroup has bugger all to do with his ISP and if he only wants certain sites to see his messages, then he better stop posting to usenet. Posts are archived and every post he's ever made will be available to anyone for years. Heh go to your group on google and use their search function. ;)

Personally, I know better, I know what public domain is. I know what goes on in an unmoderated forum.

This is no longer about his point, what this has come down to now is, he just doesnt want to loose the arguement.

Never mind what its about, or what the arguement is about, he simply doesnt not want to loose.

Even if he is completely, and I do mean completely in error.

He actually tried to intimidate us by stating he had breakfast with some "retired NYS Superior
Court Judge". Uh oh, should I snap to or salute?

This guy has bullied people and been so rude to people for so long on that newsgroup, I researched, he is a very rude and mean person.

Now, somone comes in, and finally puts their foot down, and isn't going to budge on his threads and huffings.

He actually thinks he can huff and puff, stir everyone up, and put pressure on a legitamite website to back off of using a legitamite tool.

You know the funniest thing?

The website grew in its first 2 days so far beyond the activity of that newsgroup after years.

That is no lie Phoenix. The website is moving at a pace that far supercedes that NG. And this guy doesnt want the site connected? Did I miss something?!?

This guy is completely ignorant.

Oh gawd, one of those 'eh? ;)

Once the others realise he is talking through his arse, and they must do eventually when you are still importing the NG to your sites without incurring any legal wrath, he'll run out of steam.

He's not much different to a troll really and Usenet is full of them. Once you've fed him the facts you can either ignore him or you can join his flame war. You know he can't do anything to you, and most sane people will get that sooner or later no matter how much he bullies them, so you can feel at liberty to let him have it with both barrels if you are so inclined. Take to ridiculing him, that might get him to leave you alone, especially if you get really offensive.

Look on the bright side, once he sees he's getting nowhere he'll give up and he'll never have such power over the others again. Check out the longest running flame war (http://www.werewolves.org/~follies/) on Usenet. It's been going since there was just AOL and Compuserv and it's still going strong. Your flame war is just a teeny little hiccup in comparison. ;)

Chin up, it'll pass. :)

Can somebody help me install this hack? I know very little about this type of stuff and would love to have this hack installed as I have many groups I would like to add. I have a 2.xx forum and would like some on installing this hack if at all possible.

I was wondering how updating the groups from the source to my forum would work though? What type of bandwidth and storage does it take? I have been through the groups out there and have seen a good 20 to 40 I would like to pull over to my site if at possible.

Also, can somebody tell me if these threads once created will be indexed by my archive / spiderfriendly hack?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
