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.

What would cause this error during syncronisation?

Warning: Failed opening 'class.POP3.php3' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/sites/site3/web/forum/gateway.php on line 31

You don't have that file uploaded. If you upload the file from the nntp gateway distribution, that error will not occur.

Ah, I see what's happening. The error is when you to the sync from the control panel. There is an error in the instructions to this. What you need to do is change:

Code:

include("class.POP3.php3");

to

Code:

include("$ad.class.POP3.php3");

Thanks, that helps but it should read;

Quote:

include($ad."class.POP3.php3");

Now if you can figure out how to get my cron to work, you'd be a star. I've tried everything, but still nada.

the include problem is fixed...

Hi,

Great job Gilby & GameCrash!

Will try to include this hack the next days.

OT @ GC: Does d)f provide us with lynx?
I mean, does the mentioned cron job work at d)f:
>5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx -source "http://www.yourserver.com/vbdir/gateway.php?log=cron"
Errrm, do you use a d)f-nntp server or an external one?

Tia,
-Tom

D)F has no newsserver as I know

I use news.microsoft.com but you will not be very successfull to find standard newsgroups there

But you will not be very successfull with this cron job. D)F provides cron jobs only via their own interface at kundenmenue.de and they only allow daily (or longer) cron jobs... You also may get problems with the very restrictive script limits there... that are two of the reasons why I use my own server now...

Thanks, appreciate that info

Is there a way to limit the number of days that is pulled for a particular group thru the panel, or is there a field I have to alter in the dB?

Thanks!

GameCrash · #21 04-05-2002, 05:06 AM

Well... the panel can do everything the gateway itself can do atm (I think). You can't select the number of days, the only thing you can change is the last message number...
