It'll post a URL to the file on your server.

Gilby,

I posted before aobut trying to use this hack to download some biniary groups, but I was having trouble with the uuencoded attachments. I've been looking for a way to solve this, and someone sent me here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-decode.php

Would this work? I'm willing to pay for this if you can get it working. PM me with the details.

Thanks

That won't work. The script currently supports mime encoded attachments but doe snot support uuencoded attachements.

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.

If you go the email route, just set it up to pull the messages from teh pop server and then send the messages to a "dump" address (where it'll be deleted and not delivered). Or just comment out the lines that sends out the email or newsgroup post.

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)?

You might be able to create a dummy account and then just set the username and password as variables in teh gateway script so that whenever the gateway script is run it'll use that username and pass.

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.

Sounds like you have your web browser set up incorrectly so that it won't display text files in teh browser window, but instead prompts you to save it.

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?

You need to get the message id number of the last post on your new server, which is unique to each news server and set it in the msgid column so that it'll pull starting from there.

Well, I can get it to work on my ISP's POP3 account, but not on the POP3 accounts on my server. I'm still trying to find out how to fix this.

What mail server do you have?

I noticed the author (Gilby) hadn't said a word in the forum for more than three months.
Lots of questions/suggestions left unanswered.

I've been busy working on other projects. Sorry about putting this hack on the back burner.

A sticky thread will work normally (but of course wont be sticky on the news server). To post to the forums and not have it go to the newsgroup, you'll need to make the post and then change the value in the post table to make the gateway script think it was already sent by changing the "isusenetpost" column to 1 for that post.
