NNTP Gateway for Usenet ( Newsgroups ), Mailing Lists
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
The latest version: V2.3.2 (31 Oct 2004)
What is it? This hack provides a gateway from vBulletin forums to the USENET. It allows forum members to read newsgroup messages as well as to send posts to the newsgroups. In a nutshell, it turns vBulletin forums into a basic function news reader. For an added bonus, this package also supports mailing list archive and forum to mailing list gateway. The software retrieves messages from a pop3 account and import them into the forums threaded. It also allows a forums user to send messages to the mailing list by the forum posting interface. Why? The gateway will be appreciated by forum members who do not know how to set up a news reader, or people who do not have port 119 open in their network. A forum interface to read and post news are often considered to be better than a news reader. The gateway adds more contents to your forums and allows the members to interact with wider audience. It is common to see new users signing up to use this feature. History This hack is basically a hacked vB2 NNTP gateway written by Gilby to work with vB3. The original hack can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...7&page=1&pp=15 Features Some of the features and improvement include:

What do you need and do not need? You do not need to edit vB php files if you use two bookmarks You need to edit one vB php file to insert two lines of code if you want direct click links within AdminCP. No need to run SQL. Installation Basically the AdminCP interfaces take care of installation as well as upgrade in the background. Back up your database first. The scripts can modify your database without alerting you! Please follow the instructions in the readme.txt file for more details. Support Please post your support questions to this thread. Please check the FAQ in the third post within this thread first. ================== UPDATES ====================== Jul 31 2004 (release version 2.2.0)
Please note, when you manually run the script, you must turn on the debug mode. Otherwise nothing will be displayed on the screen. To run as debug mode: http://forums.yourdomain.com/gateway.php?debug=1 25 Oct 2004

The v2.0.1 is the full release with all the bells and wristles. I leave the May16 release in there just in case the new version breaks somehow. The May16 has been stable (...well, for 3 days now). So you should use the new one unless something is broken. |

Try the fault finding method described in here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....30&postcount=3 Send the result to your web host, politely ask them why you can not access that group from your web server. |

The POP3 function on the VB2 version is something I used, but it was really picky about the type of POP3 email account used, and from memory nobody could work out what caused it. It was a a case of trying different POP3 account suppliers until finding one that worked.
Actually, I would appreciate a POP3 recommendation that works with this hack. My BT account has just been taken over by Yahoo and no longer works and all my oneandone accounts (who do all my hosting) also don't work. |

IMHO, it would be cool if we could add variables for incoming and outgoing ports. My host allows incoming on port 119 but not outgoing. So, with my new NSP, I am experimenting with getting posts to get out to Usenet.
Giganews allows connections to ports 119,80, and 23 Am I to assume that I can search the PHP files for "119" and change them to whatever I want? This is what I have done for my first test.... changing all instances of 119 to 80. So far, no luck. I hope my host did not block ALL outgoing NNTP data. :ermm: I still have 23 left to test. |

I have two newsgroup feeds setup... seems to be one of the forum pulls the posts made to it back into the topic so there is double posts.. one from the local user and the same post over acting as if it was from a outside user... Any idea why it would do this on just one forum?
