It is giving me the error:

Getting message number 388042:
This forum does not allow attachments, therefore attachment ignored.

Is this fixed already?

That isn't a bug. It means you don't allow attachments in your usenet forums. Enable posting of attachments and you won't get that message. The post is still being imported it is just not grabbing the attachment.

Ok, I finally got it running, which was a real chore since the readme was so out of date. I'm using this for a mailing list, not for a newsgroup. Everything seems to be working okay except that, instead of combining the messages into the appropriate thread, it wants to create a new thread for nearly every message.

Anyone else have this working correctly for a mailing list? If so, how did you get it to combine the posts into the appropriate thread instead of creating a new one? It makes it nearly impossible to follow discussions like this and, of course, threaded and hybrid mode are useless.

So.... Have tried reading through the first few pages from this...

I want to be able to pull pages from both a yahoo group and a Newsgroup - dont want to be able to send posts back to them as yer (tho in the future will probably want to..)

Will it do this??

Secondly, has anyone tried this under 3.5.4 yet, and does it work?

Thanks guys

The latest version: V3.5.0Alpha 1 (21 Jul 2005)

I guess this is no longer being updated or supported, and for a great hack like this :/

Yup, exactly the same problems here also - i get a new thread for each message :(

Anyone any clues??

The newsgroups option works a treat tho!!! Absolutely perfect!!

maybe someone is willing to put together a working version of this hack? it is really great, exept for the fact that it's not being developed any more :(

Looks like I'll be giving up on trying to get the attachments working correctly for now. I don't have time to debug it properly and nobody who claims that they've got it working properly seems interested in sharing. :ermm:

Depends upon your needs. Except for binaries it's working fine so far once you get past the initial hurdles.

The initial message retrieval from NNTP is not working properly in gateway.php.

When the NNTP server replies that the min. msg index is 1 and the last fetched msg is 0, the code decides to use 1 (min) for lastmsg then iterates from lastmsg+1 to max.

To fix the problem, I changed this line of code:

$lastmsg = ($group['lastmsg'] >= $news->min()) ? $group['lastmsg'] : $news->min();

To this:

$lastmsg = ($group['lastmsg'] >= $news->min()-1) ? $group['lastmsg'] : $news->min()-1;
