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

Thanks Gilby
I did what you said with the sql and everything seems to be working now. I have another question that I know if kind of dumb, but I cannot figure it out. If I want to make a new forum in my control panel, how to I set the forum ID so that I can pipe the newsgroup posts into it . The only setting I could find to change was the order and they all seem to be set to 1 Thanks again |

http://wocs.net/forumdisplay.php?forumid=60 The forum ID is mentioned at the end of the link eg: forumid=60 Thats where you get the forum ID from, all you do then is enter that number into the MySQL database in the relevent section. Hope this answers your question. Andrew |

Thanks for the reply Sanjiyan
I never understood where they got the forum Id's before. I fixed the forum ID and ran went to the gateway.php in my browser, but it does not seem to pipe anything in, I just get this on the white screen and nothing more. Any ideas on what else I need to do, sorry to be such a pain 1 group(s) gatewayed. Logging in to east.usenetserver.com, group alt.binaries.nude.celebrities.female |

Anyway to download and display forums based not just on a particular newsgroup but refined more by topic/word search as is possible through doing a search at google? |

If just in the one newsgroup you want to narrow it down, then you'd just throw out the irrelevant posts. I have not implimented anything to do this yet though. |
