This hack provides a gateway to any NNTP newsgroup such as those from Usenet and other newsgroup servers. Selected newsgroups are imported from your news server and post on the forum are sent out to the newsgroup. This hack was greatly inspired by fastforward's usenet gateway hack. This one is a complete rewrite of that hack written in PHP and works with vB 2.2.2.
Installation: Installation is pretty simple. No modifications to the vB php files are needed and it simply consists of dropping in the files to your forums directory, running the SQL modifications, and modifying the newsgroup settings for your desired newsgroups. For the complete installation details, read the readme.txt file. Here are some of the features:
For control panel integration, please check out GameCrash's Graphical Interface addition. What's not in it that was in fastforward's usenet gateway hack:
There is still lots that I'd like to add to it, but this is competely functional for basic newsgroup gateway support. It is most likely not free of bugs.  If you have questions, suggestions or annoyances, please post in this thread.vb3 support lierduh modified this to provide support for the beta versions of vb3. When the release candidates of vb3 come out, I plan to add support for vb3 and add other features to this hack. If you have suggestions for new features, let me know. E-mail gateway support New in this version, you can now gateway with an email list. This will fetch emails from a POP email account and send via php's mail function to the mailing list's email address. To set up the list, in the newsgroup field, enter in the email address to send outgoing posts to. In the server field, enter in the pop3 server, and in the username and password fields enter in, you guessed it, the username and password to your pop account. Note: the email gateway capabilities has not been fully tested, so it might not work with your POP server. Also, it does not work in combo with a news<->forum gateway in the same forum (you can use either kind though in differnet forums within your forums). Show Your Support

Hm... I have problems with ISO-Encoded subjects and textes... for example:
Hans-J?rgen Otten is send as =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hans=2DJ=FCrgen_Otten?= by some newsreaders (I think). The problem is that the gateway.php does not translate this to Hans-J?rgen Otten. That means that the postings are not added to the correct threads... I think that =?ISO-8859-1?Q?{SOMETEXT}?= means that {SOMETEXT} is encoded. =2D would mean - =FC would mean ? _ would mean a space. Is there any class or something that would translate this automatically? If not, I will have to write something... I have found a perl module (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cod...rdDecoder.html) for that, but not a php class...

I have just fixed the decode problem that happens in the subject and from headers. The fix makes use of the imap_mime_header_decode php function which requires php to be compiled with the imap functions, so it may not work on all setups, but the gateway script will still work as it checks to see if this function is available for use before using it.

Hi,
I have an ISP who hosts my site, but doesn't provide Usenet. Has anyone got any recommendations who to use for large Usenet access like this? Wish to install this hack as it would enhance my board greatly, but presumably I need a Usenet provider first? Then do I just put in a username and password within the config? Regards, Ross

Thanks for the quick fixes, Gilby! I think the downloading and insertion of messages is nearly perfect now.
There are only a few very minor things that might be improved upon, whenever you have time. First, a way to truncate very long usernames would be helpful, since long names make the "Thread Starter" and "Last Post" columns much too wide. Also, occasionally I see no name attached to a post, whereas looking at those same posts in a newsreader shows an e-mail address. Lastly, some messages that contain quotes miss coloring the very first line of a quote, like this: > This first line is not colored > but this second line is. Like I said, those are just a few minor problems on an otherwise excellent hack.

Graphical interface for this hack now available
With this additional hack you can administrate the gateway via the admin cp. You will only get support in that this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=36475

Hi,
I've now installed and setup this hack, and didn't encounter any problems until I ran gateway.php, which then tried to download after running on the server. The contents of gateway.php generated were : Quote:
Can anyone give me an idea as to what could be going wrong? Many thanks for what will surely be an excellent hack, Kind Regards, Ross Williams

Try a different newserver. Some newservers just don't work with this hack. This hack definitely works. Your newserver settings must be right if you are getting that output page. But the newserver may not allow downloading of messages from an external program like that.
