Graphical Interface for the NNTP Gateway · **Released**: 03-22-2002

Current version is 1.2

You can always download the newest version in the first post.

This hack will allow you to administrate the NNTP Gateway hack created by Gilby via the Admin CP. This is version 1.1 and will work for NNTP Gateway version 1.8 and 1.9. It will NOT work for 1.7 and earlier.

It is tested with vBulletin 2.2.2 and vBulletin 2.2.4. It may work with 2.0.x, it may not.

For installation instructions please read the install.txt in the zip file.

I created a new thread to make sure I can answer your questions easier. So please do NOT Email, PM or ICQ me about this hack - you will be ignored.

Version 1.1 (28.03.2002)

Thanks for your hard work on this!!

I love it...

There are just 2 minor things that I find myself challenged with...

1) If I run "Manual Synch" from with my CP, it just hangs, however, if I call gateway.php from a command line or in my browser, all seems to work fine. Not a big deal since I'm using a scheduler to fire up IE and run my gateway.php every few minutes. I found this much easier than trying to get my durned cron job to work right.

2) If I edit a group from within my CP, my message ID resets to 0 and I get stuck with having to do the initial pull again, or deleteing and re-adding the group with the proper message ID.

Again, neither of these are life threatening and are probably just an error I've done along the way, but if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear 'em.

This hack keeps me away from my SQL dB, and since I'm a UNIX and mySQL idiot, that's a good thing!!

Thanks again!!

1) Well... calling it via CP does not anything other than calling it directly... it's just a include... but maybe it's a bit slower and you hit your server limits...

2) Yes... there seems to be a problem, let me see...

GameCrash · #24 04-06-2002, 03:59 PM

Fixed 2). Just reupload the nntpgateway.php. You can find version 1.2 in the first post...

Thanks a bunch, GC. That's top-notch support!

I will install and test today.

this it's not an hack, thi is "THE HACK"!!!
1000000 of thanks for this great HACK!!!

akaler · #27 04-17-2002, 04:02 PM

interface + actual nntp hack (two hacks) = the hack.

well, one of THE HACK hacks, anyway. (Has a big payoff, and certainly one of the more complex packages to code - so SUPER kudos to the programmers!). there's a couple of others that really dramatically boost usage of the forums that are far simpler... like quickreply. God, I feel like a hippy... "It's all good, maaaan!"

GameCrash · #28 04-17-2002, 04:47 PM

Well... THE hack has been made by Gilby - I have just hacked the hack

proton242 · #29 04-17-2002, 05:47 PM

great both guys!

Hmm, so where are these newsgroups supposed to be then?? I did all the install, ran gateway.php, which says something like "1 group(s) gatewayed. mynews server, my newsgroup," but that is about it. It would be cool if it actually did something, like show the newsgroup, for instance.

asarian · #31 05-25-2002, 03:59 PM

Sigh; getting desperate.

I can see the imported posts in the dababase, but they just do not show up anywhere on the board.

If I click on the newsgroup forum, it just shows,

"Public Forum > Newsgroups

(Users Browsing this Forum: admin)"

But there is nothing to see.
