Description:
This hack provides a gateway to selected usenet groups. The entire usenet group is mirrored locally. Posts submitted locally to mirrored newsgroups will also be sent out to usenet. A single perl script is executed via cron that collects news and posts any outgoing articles. Incoming messages are parsed against customizable spam filters and threaded correctly before being placed in your forums. By default, no personal information is sent to usenet other than the posters username and whatever you have globally configured as a footer and organization. The option does exist for a user to include a custom email to use for usenet posts. After initial installation (which involves creating some new tables, adding a few columns to existing vB tables, and entering the database connection information to the news script) configuration is completed via the vB control panel.
Current version is 20020323 for vB2.xx Current feature list:
Main Options More Options Configuration of Newsgroups Add New Newsgroups Spam Control What an imported usenet article looks like in vB The latest version of this hack will always be in this first post of the thread. Before asking questions in this thread, please read all the posts in this thread. If your question goes unanswered, it will probably be because the question has already been answered countless times in this thread. This hack was created for use on my forums and will only be supported as time permits. Links to required Perl Modules Show Your Support

TRUNCATE TABLE usenet_setting_group;
becomes TRUNCATE TABLE usenet_settinggroup; should solve your problem |

Hi,

If you have the needed PERL modules, yes, you can use it. If you don't have the modules and your host doesn't want to install them, you can do it yourself. Just get the modules and put only the *.pm file in the correct folder. You may do a directory structure like:
/news (inside that is newnews.pl) /news/lib Inside /news/lib you make subdirectories named after the needed Perl Module like: /news/lib/Date /news/lib/Email etc. These directories don't have to be in the webdirectory. Now, the script needs to know where those modules are. So uncomment the line #use lib... With the directories above it should look sth like this: use lib "/absolute/path/to/news/lib"; To know which modules are missing you can run the configured newnews.pl with perl newnews.pl at the command line. Read the error message and it wil tell what it misses. Don't forget to chmod 755 all *.pm and *.pl files!! |
