Hey Guys; great hack!
This is the error I get when I try to post a message?

What does that mean?

Nice hack! Easy to install, and works nicely. My only wish is to be able to set up a newsgroup or POP email that is read-only. That is, posts/emails are read and posted to the forum, but forum replies or new threads are not sent outside the forum. I'm thinking of a different value for the 'enabled' field, or via the use of the "undocumented" prefix.

Any volunteers to try to do this? If no takers, I might do it next weekend.

Jose,

I use the hack too, and love it. You should be able to set the news group to read only in the Forums & Moderators >> Permissions section of your admin panel. I haven't tried it for the news groups, but it should work.

Yeah, but I wanted to use it so that I could import resources (like from a moderated newsgroup), and give group members the ability to read and discuss them in the forum, without the replies leaving the forum. I looked at the code and it's not a difficult change to do. I'll probably do it and test it over the weekend and post here if anyone is interested.

Jose

Yes that would be a nice feature :) Let me know if you find out anything

I have the same problem - any Answers?

just installed this hack in order to archive some email lists and it works great - thanks. However, I've got one hurdle to overcome when it comes to automating the run of gateway.php. My board is off-limits to guest users, so trying to execute gateway.php without first logging into the board manually results in a "you are not logged in" page when the script tries to make all the posts. Is there any way to write a cron job that can both log into the forum and run gateway.php (from lynx)?

I'm having a bit of trouble.

What i've done is I've installed hamster to pull messages from various newsgroups onto my computer, then setup the addon to download these headers from my pc to the website (Basically my ISP has IP masked access that only allows my IP here to login, but not my websites IP)

My problem is when I run the gateway script, it goes for a few minutes then asks me to download the file? Did i mess something up?

I mean it is actually obtaining the headers and putting them in the forums, its just annoying to get that window.

I have a potential issue. I have been running this hack on my forums for a few months now without problems, it has been working excellently.

Today I have found that my news provider has suspended my posting privelages. This may imply that I will need to change providers.

Should I simply change providers (and the settings on the hack) - I am concerned that I will have thousands of duplicate posts on the first sync.

Any idea how I could make the transition painlessly?
