You pointed the cron to the wrong DIR. Gateway.php should be located in {forumsroot}/gateway.php . In the vb-cronjob field write: ./gateway.php .

That?s all.

Many people in the newsgroups which we?re importing are asking for that.

Is there a simple way of including the email-adress from the db to the header information, so that others only have to hit the reply button to drop the author a line?

Marv.
I'm gonna politely disagree here unless there's a way to disable the function. Zillions of spammers mine Usenet for email addresses - I'd prefer the addresses remain munged up.

Me? I use abuse@localhost as a return address. I don't know if it does any good but it makes me feel better ;)

Hi Allan,

that?s the reason why I never release me email-adress to the usenet. I use a nospam@myhost.com adress, which spammers can reply to but their emails become deleted automaticly.

But I think - for me and my forums - it wouldn?t be a useful feature. In the past days more and more people which are using clients for posting/reading are flaming why the heck we dont obey the usenet rules which include that every post has to have a correct and replyable emailadress which belongs to the original poster. (For details have a look into RFC 2822) .
By now some of them say that in case we don?t change the behavior of this script they?ll drop abuse complaints to the network administration and our newsgroup-provider for closing our accounts. And as it looks so far they will obey the rules and disable our account. Even if the newsgroup-provider would reject their request - the network admins won?t.
So,..for us it?s not only a useful feature - it?s a needed one :ermm:

If this could be implemented into this hack I would really appreciate that. Otherwise we`ld have to disable "Sending postings to newsgroups" and would have a read-only forum that makes no sense for anyone.

I do not think cron jobs under vb are true crons.

I know the scheduled task manager within vb cannot execute by itself without users actually visiting the site, my assumption is no actual timer routines actually exist and the tasks rely on user hits to the site in order to trigger the code execution (psuedo scheduled) to check time and compare against tasks around same time or they do not execute.

The vb cron jobs may well be similar.

I tried both and they failed to execute, I had to set one going on the server itself.

John, the vbcron isn?t a cronjob based on the server time. You?ll find $cronimage in several templates. Every time this template is called $cronimage triggers the vbcronjob. So you?re right - the vbcron is based on hits.

Observant Usenet user emailed me that some replies going to Usenet from our gateway didn't have "References" header and "Re: " in the subject. I investigated this, and it appears that current code is indeed buggy.

Current code first chooses new forum threads and then new posts to send to news server, but SQL query responsible for new threads gets it all wrong.
It gets not only new threads' posts themselves, but also posts to the same thread by the thread author, if the thread was started from the forum. It means that all subsequent forum posts to the thread by the thread author won't get "References" header and also "Re: " in the subject, and therefore won't be threaded in the newsgroups.

The fix is to use special "firstpostid" field in the thread table for determining the first post in the thread.

Replace this code:
PHP Code:
                $get_newthreads=$DB_site->query("SELECT post.*, thread.*,
                        post.dateline AS postdateline, post.msgid AS postmsgid,
                        thread.title AS threadtitle
                        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post as post LEFT JOIN " .
                        TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as thread ON (
                        thread.threadid = post.threadid
                        AND post.userid = thread.postuserid)
                        WHERE post.isusenetpost = 0 AND
                        post.postid > {$nntp_settings['last_postid']} AND
                        thread.forumid = {$group['forum']}"); 
with this:
PHP Code:
                $get_newthreads=$DB_site->query("SELECT post.*, thread.*,
                        post.dateline AS postdateline, post.msgid AS postmsgid,
                        thread.title AS threadtitle
                        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as thread LEFT JOIN " .
                        TABLE_PREFIX . "post as post ON
                        thread.firstpostid = post.postid
                        WHERE post.isusenetpost = 0 AND
                        post.postid > {$nntp_settings['last_postid']} AND
                        thread.forumid = {$group['forum']}");

Yes, I would like to know how to keep the posts to be at a certain amount. I want the total to be 20,000 so any new posts that come in, should be replaced with old posts....clean and add so i dont lose my isp account or website stops. thanks for your help in advance!

however, the more and more posts there are the larger my database will be which means that backing up will be a pain just now but if i leave it as it is for a few months id have to back up a forum of millions of posts - not good

whats everyone else doing about this?

Hi,

I have made changes per your sugestions...thanks...now...I can't get my posts to show up on usenet. it simply stays on my forum but i can get new posts fine.

i did several tests sending and out of 9, only 1 post went through...my port 119 isnt blocked and i have used a nntp gateway before (mynewsgroups :) but switched to this wonderful hack. please help!

ps. am i suppose to have the gateway or nntp/newsgroup settings in vbulletin option in admin cp area? i saw them when i installed it but then it disappeared :ermm:
