Deepdog009: Thanks for the recap. :) Unfortuntaley neither of my two issues are addressed. :( I searched both this thread and the older vB 3.0.x thread and didn't find references to either. Before I started hacking the files I was hoping somebody else came across them.

Perfect reply but not to my questions. Eh, it's frustrating when there is no support for such a great script. Only if I could figure out how to get it to work. It seems so close.

Since attachments are obviously working for some of you guys/gals, could you please tell me where you obtained the functional copy of /includes/functions_image.php from since it is not included in neither the download attached to this thread and it is no longer a standard vB 3.5 file? :disappointed: If it's a case of modifying the old vB 3.0.x version could you let me know what modifications you did to it? Changing the $vboptions to $vb->options is easy enough but I'm not sure what to replace the "global $vboptions" with since "global $vb->options" results in an error.

I can work around the problem with the code/quote/list/whatever threads but am stuck a bit on the functions file.

Does this hack work with vbulletin 3.5.3? Any plans to converting it to plugin?

Yes it does.

I ended up reworking the whole damn script, using only parts of the one presented here.
Now I have my own version of NNTP gateway and it works like a charm.
I am planning to do also a remote windows version for this program.

Joe,

I'm also in the midst of rewriting chunks of it to make it work since people here either don't know (or don't care) that some parts of it don't work or simply don't feel like sharing their solutions. Maybe we should talk? :D

Hi KW802,
I've got a whole script written in vb.net as windows app.
Basically what it does, it gives you a list of newsgroups. You can select those you want to sync.
It gets all the messages and feeds them into mysql database.
You can see this script working here: www.n-n-a.com .
It should be very easy to feed it into vb.net forum.
First of all, it's extremely fast. It gives you progress in percentage for each newsgroup and I can pull millions of posts a day.
Do you want to give me some helping hand to get it to work with vbulletin?
Joe

Joe,

Thanks but I would be in need of a PHP based solution. I've already re-written parts of functions_nntp.php file to handle the quote/php/code/list bb codes and will be tackling the functions_image.php file issue next. I figure at this point I'll just hack the PHP files to suit the needs of the site I'm running it on and go from there.

I am having no problems with this script at all. Everything works and has always worked. No problems with bbcode, images, attachments or anything else that others in this thread have problems with. The only time I ever had a problem is when the usenet provider purges one of the groups. This is fixed by running setlastmessage.php after the run dies.
