Feel good to see the hack is now working for me ;)
I tried to reply to 3 posts using quickreply, small reply button and large reply buttons and it worked perfect with all of them, my replies got posted in the same thread/post on NTTP Server. this is the log
However i noticed a few things now -
My username - newthread[username]
appears that on all the 3 posts i made.

Also i am still waiting for your comments on 1 thing.
I noted that degugging messages are only inserted when the task is ran manually else it just adds up entries in admincp like:

8632 Gateway Messages Import 01:45, 26th Oct 2004 Ran NNTP Gateway

Found another bug, at line 1083. I missed another "$".
Change
$from_header = "newthread[username] <$msgid>";

To
$from_header = "$newthread[username] <$msgid>";

(notice the $ before newthread)

I will check the debug/log thing later. I do not use the Scheduled Tasks makes it a little harder.

Hi all,

I'm having problems getting my website hosted with a gateway hack. Can anyone point me towards a host that you use and that lets you use a gateway?

thanks

1 most important part lierduh
Please also add some customized security to gateway.php file (should only be able to execute via usergroup id 6 or some user ids which can be added to that file) coz @ the moment any damn user is able to run that file (this may create server load problems or other issues).. or possibly taking the gatway.php under admincp folder.

Regards,

No, you don't need to worry about this (server load etc.), trust me.

What would one put in the server block for alt.religion ?

OK, I run it once more (scripts reloaded + forum re-installed with empty databse). I got nio more MySQL error. Posts are correctly imported and threaded but bad news: the forum displays again wrong statistics, it doubles the amount of posts (see screenshot). I have to update counters and Rebuild Forum Information to correct problem at every cron job.

Didn't I mentioned the script will give error when you have empty post table? I am not sure why you insist on empty database.

I counted you have 8 posts imported and the forum shows 8 posts in there. If you had errors, then the counter could be out.

Ok, with all of these newer versions of the script my posts are finally showing up in usenet. And with the latest bug fix, the correct username is also showing. However, I still have one little hurdle. My post *only* show up in usenet when I run the gateway myself in debug mode. When the gateway script is auto-run via a scheduled task it downloads post into the forum at the correct time, but doesn't upload any local post to usenet. Very weird! Can you think of any reason why it would do that?

Another question; if I were to change the URL in the cronjobs to say gateway.php?debug=1 instead of just gateway.php, do you think that would work for me? Or would it cause any additional problems?

You're right :squareeyed:

Weird! You're so right. I only take a look to Forum Statistics, 7 Threads/18 posts. I'll check the counter.

Thanks.
