Any Ideas?

What is on your screen if you run it manually. If you use IE and it tries to download instead of displaying it on the screen. Please fix the Windows registry following the instruction here:

When I run the script, this is the output... it's getting threads, but I haven't seen any sent.

I've logged into the groups online, but my post isn't showing up in the group, and there have been other posts since mine that posted to the newsgroup.

I am working on the gateway.php file, and have set it up in the admincp as a Scheduled Task.... only downside is it either has to run every minute (way too much) or every hour (maybe a little slow to update) I was having a hell of a time with the cron job working properly on my server.

Not sure how to use the schedule in Admin control panel. I use Linux cron. What is your entry in your /var/spool/cron/ ?

Check the post your member made for usenet in the database to see if "isusenetpost =1", if it is "1", that means the post has been successfully sent to usenet.

Well, it shows then that is has been sent... I just haven't seen it posted...

I'll have to set up a newsreader tonight, and try it out.

himerus 03-23-2004 11:38 PM

It says it is being posted:

Posting Message from himerus: 240 - Article posted

However, I've made several posts, and can locate none of them from other newsgroup sources.

I just want to point out I went to his site and found a usenet ppost, then searched on a word from its title...NO MATCHES

The search portion of this hack is broken, please log it as a bug. :ermm:

himerus 03-24-2004 02:57 AM

You are right...

The similar threads are being updated properly, because if you browse the newsgroup posts, the similar threads show up, but sure enough, the search index isn't being updated properly, even though the function (build_post_index($postid,$foruminfo);) is being called in gateway.php

Also, the update is not working for me at all... I have tested it on several posts, and they are not being sent back to the newsgroup. (see prior posts)

I love the functionality, and would like to see the original author come back around with a new version for vB 3 Gold...

I'm fine with any PHP, but I'm not sure about the interaction with the NNTP server, and how all that works well enough to really re-write this...

I would also enjoy seeing a control panel section for this hack... with lots of options! ;)

It's not a bug, it was programmed that way. Since vb 2 is not a threaded forum, it doesn't make it that easy to use a changed subject from the newsgroup as it's hard to know what post a reply is to when done on the forums. So, the script assumes that if the subject is change significantly, that the discussion in the thread has drifted off and warrents a new thread in the forums. It also makes the posts from the forum appear as a reply to the correct post.

I do still plan to upgrade the scripts for vb 3, but haven't had a chance to do so yet. I'll be out of town over the next week, but I hope to work on it within the next few weeks.

For those that just can't wait to upgrade to vb3, lierduh's hack of this script should hold you over until I get an official one made for vb3.

If you have any suggestions about new features to add or any bugs or problems you've encountered, now is the time to let me know (you can post here or email me through the forums here).

Just the fact that for some reason my post aren't being sent back to the newsgroup... :(

That's the main problem I'm having right now.... (see previous posts)
