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

I did try that as well and got another error (what a pain). I'm sure it's just server config, so I'm trying to work around it.
Here is the error I got Quote:

Outstanding script! Thanks for all your hard work.
I have to report an error, though. I have all the perl modules, and the MySQL database was properly reconfigured using the provided SQL queries, but some error prevents downloaded messages from being inserted into my database. bash-2.05$ perl newnews.pl Connecting to news.freenet.de:119... Connected Pulling alt.planning.urban... -> fetching articles 68845 to 68895... -> fetching 68846... OK -> fetching 68847... OK -> fetching 68848... OK (snip) -> fetching 68893... OK -> fetching 68894... OK -> fetching 68895... OK -> processing article batch... -> requested 50 messages... 0 not available or rejected. -> inserting new threads from alt.planning.urban Query failed: UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1, threadcount=threadcount+1 ,lastpost=1026222245,lastposter='Fallwater',lastac tivethread='seeking list of founding dates of m...'

Okay ... the sub-forum exists.
http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=38 The newsgroup definitely exists, and the hack is set up so newsgroup messages will be dumped into the existing subforum.  Let's re-run, judt for kicks. -> fetching 68517... OK -> fetching 68518... OK -> fetching 68519... OK -> fetching 68520... OK -> processing article batch... -> requested 100 messages... 0 not available or rejected. -> inserting new threads from alt.planning.urban -> inserted 14 threads -> finding replies... -> loading 33 replies... Clean disconnection from news.freenet.de:119 Expiring usenet articles older than 120 days... -> alt.planning.urban... OK Expire completed. bash-2.05$ Okay ... strange. It says that there's posts in the group. http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=33 But go to the group, and there's nothing. http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=38 Strangely, you can search for text from Usenet threads, and they're there. The threads just aren't visible from the sub-forum page.

Help please!
My users notced, that my board doesn't thread messages correctly to usenet server! I'm using Vb 2.7 and all code changes are made. If I look the html source from newreply, I can see the inreplyto value, but in database inreplyto fields are empty?? Could this be the reason? Everything used to be ok, but I had to reinstall everything during server change. Any ideas? -jOOP

When replying to the message WITHOUT preview, code gives a inreplyto value. When using preview reply, value goes blank! How we can fix this? Thanks, jOOP

Although the templates need some fine-tuning, here's my implementation.
http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=41 The newsgroups are still filling up ... the newnews.pl script puts a beating on my host, so I'm running it in nice mode. Again, great hack.
