Has anyone gotten the footer striper to work. It doesn't work as far as I can tell.

By the way, the thing about attachments not working. It may be because guests don't have permission to post attachments, and these posts are being put through as guests.

I implemented the e-mail address masking feature mentioned earlier in this thread. But we use vBulletin for tech suport, and sometimes we post messages telling users to e-mail us directly.

So I've tweaked the masking feature so that it does not strip out addresses from certain domains.

I've also made it configurable in the NNTP Gateway Settings by adding these variables:

Code:

Title: Email Address Mask

Varname: email_address_mask

Value: \1 (AT) \2 (DOT) \3

Description: Mask for obfusicating email addresses in imported messages.



Title: Mask Email Exclude

Varname: mask_email_exclude

Value: onedomain.com;domaintwo.net;third.org

Description: Semicolon-delimited lowercase list of domains for which e-mail addresses should NOT be masked.

In gateway.php locate the line logging("Gateway version "... and insert this beneath it:

Code:

// Get email mask settings

$email_address_mask = $nntp_settings['email_address_mask'];

$mask_email_exclude = explode(';', $nntp_settings['mask_email_exclude']);

Locate the following block of code:

Code:

        //Hide real email address for mailing lists

        if ($nntp['grouptype'] == 'mail')

        {

                $message['text'] = preg_replace('/([-_.\\w]+)@([\\w]+[-\\w]+)\\./', '\\1 (AT) \\2 (DOT) ', $message['text']);

        }

Replace it with this:

Code:

        //Mask real email addresses in message text

        if (isset($email_address_mask))

                $message['text'] = preg_replace_callback('/(.+)@([a-zA-Z0-9\.]+)/', "mask_email_callback", $message['text']);

A few lines later, after the call to from_name, add the following code:

Code:

        //clean up name

        if (isset($email_address_mask))

                $from_name = preg_replace('/(.+)@(.+)/', '\\1', $from_name);

NOTE: This handles the case where the display name in the nntp posting is an e-mail address. It simply changes my.name@domain.com to my.name, rather than using the email_address_mask value and without regard to the mask_email_exclude setting.

Finally, add this code to the end of functions_nntp.php:

Code:

function mask_email_callback($parts)

{

        global $email_address_mask;

        global $mask_email_exclude;



        if (in_array(strtolower($parts[2]), $mask_email_exclude))

                return $parts[0];



        return preg_replace('/(.+)@(.+)\\.([^\\.]+)/', $email_address_mask, $parts[0]);

}

This will replace "my.name@my.domain.com" with "my.name (AT) my.domain (DOT) com". Of course, you can change the email_address_mask value to anything (e.g., "\1@..."). Leaving it blank will disable this feature.

Oh, been away 4 awhile. Your ? about links is pertaining to the settings in admincp. I deleted the links coming back to forum. I deleted most info linking back and setup to only show post info without sig and footer.

dkendall when U export your posts do U experience sometimes some posts dont up to usenet? Why is that? Is there a fullproof way to verify that all posts were exported to usenet without problems.

I think it might have something to do with mod posts. Ive noticed that non mod posts work ok, but mod posts sometimes dont export.

Updated files and now getting this message on some posts:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_threadedmode.php on line 202
Email mask setting changes page 18

Used updates from page 17, working beauts!

Hi

I am having a massive problem with duplicated threads being imported. I have even tried setting the time delay to 2 seconds between posts incase it was a slow server issue.

I have set the cron to run once an hour, which works fine.

I get no errors, I just get duplicate threads and lots of them, any ideas or help would be great..

Hmmm. I answered this yesterday, but my reply hasn't shown up!

No, I'm not seeing that.

I looked at this code, and don't see how it can be related to the Email mask setting changes. It's probably caused by posts who's parents are missing from vBulletin.

When you start using the NNTP gateway, you have to make sure the "Last Message Index" in NNTP Gateway Newsgroups is set to zero.

Also, it won't import posts from NNTP that originated in vBulletin unless you use the full_import_from_usenet mod I posted earlier.

Ok, testing your updates, working ok so far. I guess U be right about some posts showing up with error message if begining thread not found. That sucks.

Im still having a minor problem with Moderation. When posts arent moderated they successfully export to NNTP, but when posts are moderated sometimes they dont feed to NNTP. Does NEbody know why that is???:cross-eyed:

Grinler got one 4 ya!

I'm guessing here...

When the gateway copies posts to NNTP, it keeps track of the last message copied.

If you have a moderated post that is older than an unmoderated post, and the unmoderated post is copied over to NNTP, the gateway may never look at the older post.
