I doubt your problem is related to the script. You have got status 240. It means the response from the NNTP server says everything is received correctly.

It is not easy to know why your post does not show up on USENET after your server received it. Not to be smart here, but have you posted using a normal usenet client? does your server accepts posting?

The search portion of this hack is broken, please log it as a bug. :ermm:
Ok, found the problem. The final Gold release changed a function name.

the "getforuminfo" function is now changed to "fetch_foruminfo". Around line 235, find:

$foruminfo=getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);

Change it to:

$foruminfo=fetch_foruminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);

I have tested it using Outlook Express to post to the newsgroup, and it works like a charm... it was one of the first things I tested after I knew it wasn't working... I did want to rule out that it was the newsgroup account or something like that....

I'm really stuck with this one.... I've already had about a dozen users sign up for the USENET access to the groups I'm using.

Thanks for that fix... now all the new posts coming in to the USENET forums are being indexed properly.

I'm going to sit down later, and go through this hack one line at a time to see if I can figure out why it isn't posting back to the news server after a message 240 saying it did...

I'd be willing to pay for a fix almost!!! :D

Why pay anyone before you even try to debug it yourself?:)

You could try a different news server. I believe there are some free ones which accept post out there.

Well, I'm using www.teranews.com

They have a free 50MB/day account that has something like a 3$ one-time setup fee...

I was able to successfully post to the free account using a newsreader... using the same settings with the vB hack, I am able to download all the posts from the group, and that is working flawlessly. I added the gateway.php to the includes/crons folder, and set it up as an hourly scheduled task in vB. When I run it manually either by calling the page directly, or using the "run now" feature in the scheduled task manager, the posts are repordedly being posted, and after that, there is no way of knowing where it is lost.

I'm not experienced with connecting to third parties with PHP, although, I am decent at PHP code. I will look over the file in the next hour or so, and see if anything sticks out that might be causing the problem... I've looked over the send_post function a few times already, and I didn't see anything there that was wrong... maybe something with the way headers are being read or sent??? That's where I'm lost, because I'm not experienced with the protocols used to connect to the NNTP server & post.

:S

I'll Post the contents of my gateway.php file after I've looked it over and made it a little more readable.

If anything, I think it will be more to do with nntp.php. So you might want to try out a modern version of nntp.php:

http://pear.php.net/package-info.php...release=0.10.1

I've updated the nntp.php, and some of the files that the new one requires.

After renaming a couple of fuctions that were get_article to getArticle, etc... everything seems to work again... this is the result after posting an article...

What does the 1 status mean? it still doesn't appear to be posting, but it could need some adjustments.

At least this time, it is knowing that it wasn't posted... each time it runs, it's trying to post the same 2 messages again:

I've been hacking away, and in the main posting function, it is getting a status 340... I'm not sure what the 1 is after the posters username, just a varialbe that has changed with this new NNTP.php that I'm using....

In the function it has:

PHP Code:
switch ($response) {
            case 240: // RFC977: 'article posted ok'
        return true;
        break;
            case 340: // RFC977: 'send article to be posted. End with <CR-LF>.<CR-LF>'
        // This should not happen here!
        echo "Unknown error during post";
        return PEAR::throwError('Unknown error during post', $response, $this->currentStatusResponse());
        break;
            case 440: // RFC977: 'posting not allowed'
        return PEAR::throwError('Posting not allowed', $response, $this->currentStatusResponse());
        break;
            case 441: // RFC977: 'posting failed'
        return PEAR::throwError('Posting failed', $response, $this->currentStatusResponse());
        break;
        default:
        return PEAR::throwError('Unidentified response code', $response, $this->currentStatusResponse()); 
This is saying that a 340 is an error... does this help at all as to what the problem now might be? I think that it's actually closer to working... I'm just not sure about this new nntp version, because it includes several other long files of classes & functions that I'm not familiar with.
