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

If no posts were sent to usenet during your very last execution of newnews.pl, you will have no problems. If there was a post sent, then that post will never have it's message id updated and will not get any replies. So, your best bet is to just pick another useragent (usually your site name) and forget about it. |

ok all upgrades done. I am now current.
One question though I need some help with. Never messed with the bbcode's, How do I install those for replacement's q1,q2,q3, I made replacement variables but I know that probably is wrong because they are not working. Can someone direct me a little on this? |

Yes, this foxed me for a while.
In your control panel, choose "Replacement Variables" and "add" - then fill in below as follows... Replacement set: [your normal style] Code to find: [q1] Code to insert: <font size="1" color="blue"> Replacement set: [your normal style] Code to find: [/q1] Code to insert: </font> ...and similar for the other two codes. At least, that's how I did it. |

if you look at image below this what I did for each, I tried
[q1] and as you can see also{q1}, which one is right and also the instructions didn't say anything about using a closing bracket like [/q] or {/q1] so which one is right and do I also have to make 3 more variables for closing, 1 for each q1,q2,q3 got it working Joey |

To make a huge increase in the speed, comment out (with the closing brackets, of course): "if ($h = $c->head($mid)) {" (in get_batch) "if($b = $c->body($mid)) {" (just after the check for spam) Then it speeds along, as you say it should (though it doesn't find any to import at the end...) So, for this novice perl programmer - presumably "head" and "body" are in a module somewhere, and this module needs reinstalling? |

Thanks for the update Paul! I'm a slow upgrader, but just installed it after skipping several upgrades
Hope you enjoy your vacation! |

Make sure you enter the example part delete the [ / q ] , and just add them as in the install doc. in the example just put [q1] test [/q1] Could that be it? |

Bug in the subject line:
If there is a "$" in the subject of a new thread (as in "Pentium III 733, $750!", the newnews script will fail. |
