Did you try localhost instead?

Yeah just tried that, same result.

Don't know if it makes a difference but when I run the script direct from the browser, I do get the 'Loading Directly' bit.

Hmm, not sure why it cannot open your server. Are you sure it is running on port 110?

110% certain - I've checked and double checked the settings that I have on Outlook/Outlook Express, they both use 110 and will pick up the mail just fine, and they both use the same pop3/server/pass details as I've got setup in AdminCP.

I have no clue then. For some reason, your server is not allowing it to connect. Rather at a loss.

Jafo232,

any clou how to solve this, because if new alerts are posted into the Forum, nobody knows it because Forumhome says No Threads.

th@nks

just don't work :confused:

*uninstall*

Any chance this will work on version 3.0?

Will not work for 3.0, only the 3.5 series.

When i go to my vbox.php page i get this error

Loading Directly.

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/wshh/public_html/forums/vbox.php
Line: 14

How can i fix it

If that is the only error you get, that is fine. The error will not happen if it is loaded via the cronjob.

i dont understand , How is this fine? lol i cant use this page , if i get that error, so how do i fix it

You do not call the vbox.php script directly, only for testing purposes.

Great addon, ever changing content is always good to keep the engines running. Now all we need is a complete list to receive email alerts from all the sources out there, off I go to start compiling :)

Edited and added for others to see here for a nice list: http://www.journalismnet.com/choose/newsalerts.htm

Found something pretty annoying within the E-Mails received that are posting to the threads:



Well to fix that, open up vbox.php inside whatever editor you use and search for the following line:


Add above:

What this does is get rid of the junk signature from the emails ;)

Hope this helps anyone out! Still an awesome hack! :banana:

All the best!

Hi Jafo

Nice to see you here. I have utilized some of your scripts at your site wwc.... however, when you say the 3.5 series I just wanted to make sure it also includes the 3.5.4

Otherwise, great job........ very useful for my needs. [have clicked install] :-)

Alphaline

Yes, works fine for 3.5.4. :)

I have a question we cant get this to work right. We want it so that all posts are moderated first and preapproved as some google alerts have no reference and we dont want those on our site as it is supposed to be family friendly.

I have edited usergroups, usergroup permissions, forum permissions, and everything else I could think of even putting the user into the moderated users group.

Anyone help by making it wait for approval?

will this work on 3.6.2 ?

This is not necessary on 3.6.2. 3.6 has an advanced FEED feature which will do the exact same thing.

In case your wondering how, just go to news.google.com, enter the search terms that you want to be notified, click search, click RSS Feed. Enter that URL in the FEED feature of Vbulletin in the admin section.

Nope, not really... the extra special thing this mod does is the mail2forum feature functionality... it can take specific emails and post them into a forum.

We use it to suck up email feeds from several Yahoo Groups!

FWIW, it works fine on 3.6.2

Jafo, sorry to see this one fade away .. it pretty much saved our forum!

Don

okay thanks

Thanks bro ;)
