yep best thing is it that I have entered my userid and password which is the same for all the usegroups, and it was working on the ones I said it wasnt on.

yet for somereason now it decides to work on some but not others heh

overall now its working to some degree which is a lot better then the other newsgroup/usenet hack out there for me, as I cant run cron jobs.

so glad this is working and the support on this one is fast and good thanks to the creator of the hack.

Tim Wheatley 02-20-2002 10:23 PM

Damn, seems my server is blocked! :(

My server is in Denmark, I'm in England and all my ISP's block this...

What is blocked?

Tim Wheatley 02-20-2002 10:45 PM

No it's not your hack. It gives a message saying (giving my servers IP details) that it doesn't have rights to access, I tried another and it stopped in the same way with no message, When I 've tried a free server it works, but craply and without the newsgroups I want :-(

Tim Wheatley 02-20-2002 10:49 PM

1 group(s) gatewayed.
502 Permission Denied - Access not permitted - newsmaster@ntli.net (Typhoon v1.2.3)
Logging in to news.ntlworld.com, group rec.autos.simulators:

I'm using my ISP user/pass even - but it's a no go :(

Sanjiyan 02-20-2002 10:58 PM

damn it..

I had the hack running fine till I entered my details into the nntp_settings table.

ie my websites details instead of the yoursite.com stuff...

any ideas how this would make the gateway.php just sit there saying opening website and then doing what it was dong before, ie the white page and stuck at 50% status

Gilby 02-20-2002 11:03 PM

I'm just going to switch it to where there is no default server. Just set it up for each one separately.

ok I think I have found out why I am having the problem

I turned all the groups to 0 ie dont download.

and then turned each one back on seperatly.

and its locking up on the only group to where I have made a reply to via the forums.

I have deleted the thread I replied to, and it still locks up on that one group.

Does this help you?

EDIT: so at the moment I have turned off the one group that I most need as it has the most traffic :P

EDIT 2: Sorry about my spelling it sucks I know.

Another one, I just deleted all the posts that my local users placed on the group that is locking up the gateway.php, and re-enabled the group for download, and it is now downloading all the threads normally it seems, it seems it just has a problem dealing with any post one of my local users either replies to or makes new threads for on.

At the moment I have stop all users from replying to the usenet groups.

Any ideas?

Gilby 02-21-2002 12:43 AM

Everyone should run this SQL:
Code:

ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (isusenetpost);
ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (msgid);

This should speed up things considerably.

Shaman 02-21-2002 02:12 AM

I'm waiting with bated breath for a stable version of this hack... or should it be thought of as stable now?

Depends on how you define stable. right now the main issues that have risen are performance and compatibility with a variety of NNTP servers.

Gilby 02-21-2002 05:52 AM

I just uploaded a new version. Same functionality, but it should eliminate most the errors people have had. You can find that in the first post in this thread.

If you've already installed the hack, make sure you run the SQL a few posts back as that will make a huge difference for when your tables get filled with a lot of posts. In one case it brought the query speed from around 30 seconds to a fraction of a second.

If you want a gauge of how long things are taking, you can rin the script like: http://www.yourserver.com/gateway.php?showqueries=1 and it'll print out all the SQL queries as well as the start and finish time of the queries.

GameCrash 02-21-2002 07:03 AM

Well... I uploaded the new files from the new post, now I'm getting this message:

1 group(s) gatewayed.
Logging in to news.microsoft.com, group microsoft.public.german.entwickler.dotnet.csharp

Then the script exits (it's now running about 2 seconds). Nothing gets imported...

Running setlastmsg.php returns the following:

1 group(s) gatewayed.
Logging in to news.microsoft.com, group microsoft.public.german.entwickler.dotnet.csharp:
Max: newsgroup
Min: such

The lastmsg in the database stays at 0...

I'll now try the other nntp.php you posted above...

GameCrash 02-21-2002 07:08 AM

The same problem, the only difference is that there is a "12345" before the "logging in to ..."

Erwin 02-21-2002 08:24 AM

I can say that the webdiscuss.com server works with this script. FANTASTIC!!!

The script doesn't work with my ISP's newserver though. I will need to search for a free one...

Erwin 02-21-2002 09:40 AM

May I congratulate you Gilby by telling you that it works - you just need to use a public newserver that does not require a username or password. :)

Cool - I am hunting down one with the forums I want right now... but it works!

GameCrash 02-21-2002 10:22 AM

Now it seems to work - don't ask me why...

One thing, after import every post is set to the import date, not to the date it has really been posted to the NG. Is it possible to do that or is it a problem (timezones etc.)?

Sanjiyan 02-21-2002 11:08 AM

Gilby,

Any news on the local user replies, and why they are locking up the gateway.php ie downloads from the usenet server works, yet uploads lockup.

Erwin 02-21-2002 11:10 AM

Not true in my case - all my imported posts and threads reflect the actual time of posting, not the import date.

Wanted to say again that this is a GREAT hack! The best one I have installed, and I have installed many! :)

Did you run the SQL update? Also try running it with the showqueries=1 in the URL.

My two test servers that I used when developing it are "InterNetNews NNRP server INN" and one does require the username and password and it works fine. I think that it still might not work with some other nntp servers. If you have a specific server that it's not working on and you can give me access to play around with that server, I may be able to figure out what's causing the problem.

Apparently that group does not exist, but the nntp class did not catch it as an error.

I have the script set to import it as the date of the message if the lastmsg is set to 0. When this is set to 0, you're getting all the posts from the newsgroup. Otherwise, it'll import it and set it as the date of import, as this will make it be ordered correctly and not show up before other posts in the thread.

If you want to change how this works, you can go to line 77 and change the if-else statement that does this. So, you could comment out stuff something like:
Code:

                        // if ($group[lastmsg] == 0){
                                $date = strtotime($message[date]);
                        //} else {
                                //$date = time();
                        //}

I have ran the update yes, and heres the text the server gives me back, it apears to be locking up on the rec.arts.anime.misc group, which is the group where I have put my local post to on my vb server.

ALL SORRY ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THIS POST IT IS VERY LARGE:

The script stops/locksup after it checks the newsgroup just before the the newsgroup to which i have posted to, as you can see the last group checked is: rec.arts.anime.marketplace, which is the newsgroup just before the rec.arts.anime.misc group to which I have posted my reply.

Just installed this. (In fact upgraded from fastforwards hack). Everything seems to work just fine from what I can tell.

Haven't tried the outgoing messages yet. Is there a way to disable peoples profiles being printed on them etc, as I don't think my members would be too keen on that.

Also does it support proper threading of messages?

One problem I've noticed straight away is that is doesn't truncate usenet names, meaning the thread starter table is often over long.

In fastforwards hack the quoted text appeared in italics, any way to do that here?

I'm sure I'll have more comments when I have more time to mess with it ;)

lifesourcerec 02-21-2002 03:46 PM

Ok. I installed it and ran gateway,php and it seems to work. Since I am new to this, a) what would be a commandline for crontab and b) anyone know of a public server? I'm on cable access and we just use "news" which isn't really a server.

Yeah, you can. For now you'll have to go into the code and change it. To do that, comment out this line:
Code:

$signature .= "$newthread[username]'s Profile: $settings[profileurl]$newthread[userid]\n";
Quote:

Of course it does. I think it matches the new incoming posts with the correct thread better than fastforwards hack did. However, I made i
t where if the user modifies the subject line to be completely different, then a new thread will be created.

Quote:

So on the forumdisplay, they are to long? Or within the thread itself? Can you give me an example of one and how you'd like it chopped down? It can be done where the chopping will just be done on the forumdisplay so that the tables columns don't get smushed, yet in the viewthread, it'll remain the full length.

Quote:

Yeah, find this line:
Code:

$message[text] = preg_replace("/((\n[ ]*>[^\n]*)+)/","$1",$message[text]);
and replace it with this:
Code:

$message[text] = preg_replace("/((\n[ ]*>[^\n]*)+)/","$1",$message[text]);
Or put in whatever other vb code you want there.

vB code with in the code tags gets parsed... so the $1 that is shown in blue up there is [ i ][ color=blue ]$1[ /color ][ /i ], of course that's without the spaces.

If you are on a unix or linux server and have shell access, you can make a crontab by putting this line:
Code:

5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx -source "http://www.yourserver.com/vbdir/gateway.php?log=cron"
in a text file, let's say it's name is crontab.txt, and then type in at the command line:
crontab crontab.txt

That'll set you up with a cron job that'll execute every 10 minutes. You can change the 5,15, etc part to be whatever you want. That corresponds to the minutes of the hours.

Well, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me how to make it so that it won't start a new thread when the subject is changed in replies :)

Well, if you really want it that way. What happens sometimes is that people will start a new thread by replying to a different message, which ends up putting it in the existing thread. Then when a reply is made on the forums, it doesn't have the same subject as you might be replying to. However, if you merge a thread together, it'll insert future replies correctly into the thread. I figured that if someone is going to change the subject, they are probably drifting off to another topic which merits new thread, and can be merged if by a moderator if it didn't.

Anyways, here's a change that I think will work, I haven't tested it though:

Replace this line:
Code:

$get_threadid=$DB_site->query("SELECT thread.threadid FROM thread,post WHERE thread.threadid=post.threadid and (thread.title='".addslashes($subject)."' OR post.title LIKE '%".addslashes($subject)."' OR thread.title='".addslashes($altsubject)."' OR post.title LIKE '%".addslashes($altsubject)."') and (post.msgid='".preg_replace("/\s/sU","' OR post.msgid='",addslashes(trim($message[references])))."') AND (thread.forumid=". implode(" OR thread.forumid=", $group[forum]) . ") ORDER BY post.dateline DESC LIMIT 1");
With this line:
Code:

$get_threadid=$DB_site->query("SELECT thread.threadid FROM thread,post WHERE thread.threadid=post.threadid and (post.msgid='".preg_replace("/\s/sU","' OR post.msgid='",addslashes(trim($message[references])))."') AND (thread.forumid=". implode(" OR thread.forumid=", $group[forum]) . ") ORDER BY post.dateline DESC LIMIT 1");
I'd give you a line number, but I don't have access to a real text editor at the moment. Be careful with this one, there is a query just a few lines down that is similar. This is the first one and comes right after "if ($message[references])".

Erwin 02-21-2002 08:52 PM

It's working like a charm, Gilby. Incoming and outgoing messages work, the crontab has been set hourly and works great, and there has been no errors.

I suspect the reason why my ISP's newserver is not working is because it is hosted in Australia, and my site is hosted in the US. They must have blocked overseas connections.

Anyway, it's all good. Thank you for a GREAT hack. All without needing to change a single file too. :)

Glad to hear it's working for you! :)

Most ISPs will block all connections except those within their own network. Others will allow an external connection, but requires a username and password for that to work. Mine happens to be the later, so I can use that one. :D

Sanjiyan, are you still having problems with new post going out to the newsgroup? I ran your script and it executed fully, without problems.

Well, thanks a lot Gilby, it worked like a charm. I really appreciate the support you are giving :)

yeah I am, its just freezing on the newsgroup, its not even trying to connect to the new group to either post or download the new news, yet it downloads the news on the groups before the group in question.. any look working out the problem with that mega-post I did on the previous page?

My guess is that you don't have posting abilities on that server. The lack of it saying something like "posting ok" when you connect is one flag, and the "Authentication Failed" is another flag. Can you log into that server from a regular newsreader and post?

Other than that, the server may not be recognizing the end of a post and it then left waiting for more. But before we can go there, we need to determine that you can actually post there.

Yep I can post there using both outlook express and gravity news-reader.

So on the forumdisplay, they are to long? Or within the thread itself? Can you give me an example of one and how you'd like it chopped down? It can be done where the chopping will just be done on the forumdisplay so that the tables columns don't get smushed, yet in the viewthread, it'll remain the full length.
Yes it's on the forumdisplay I'm talking about some people on usenet have a habit of HavingAVeryLongNameWithoutAnySpacesInItBecauseThey ThinkItLooksCool

If that can be chopped to a limited number of characters that would be great. Doesn't matter so much on showthread as it's only one post that gets affected.

Works great here. I installed v4 and now installed v5. But it works, thank you very much :)
