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

Well, #1, I dont have access to that file, I think...it would be controlled by my host, right? Secondly, I'm not sure what you mean by search index building. That all happens automatically, right? You can go to my site here and search on the word "party" it is in a TON of the usenet posts and you won't get one hit. |

search index building has to be done manually through the control panel as far as i know

Around line 364, I have: build_post_index($postid,$foruminfo); If the script has an error when building the search index, then the search index won't get built. Also if the "similar thread" function is turned on. It uses the fetch_similar_threads function. This function takes a lot of memory in vB3. If you have only 8MB, then that could well be your problem. Have you checked your error log? what is your memeory_limit setting? |

If unclear, google .htaccess and php_flag. Again, have you checked your error log? |

OK, I have read this thread but based on the number to messages in the thread and the updates/re-updates I'm not too clear on whether there is a VB3 Usenet hack or not. The way people are talking here it sounds like there isn't but the following sites have a VB3 usenet hack (from google search "VBulleton 3.0" AND "usenet"
http://www.ebassist.com/vb3/index.php http://forum.lowcarber.org/ http://www.satelliteguys.us/index.php http://www.fencing101.com/vb/ http://www.greekspot.org/forums/ http://forums.eyo.com.au/ I'm a newbie so if someone could 1. clean up a lot of the past posting and give an update about a VB3 usenet hack 2. give a download link to the updated file 3. instructions for newbies i would appreciate it |

I've got it working on vB3 Gold at http://www.myispforum.com/ if anyone is looking for an example... I have two newsgroups currently running:
alt.internet.access alt.comp I replied to one newsgroup post, but I'm not sure if that part is working yet, and I have yet to see any new posts come in, but I love the way it looks... Great way to syndicate lots of data for the search engines. |

There are no errors in my error log that would pertain to memory etc. A couple missing file errors (nothing php related). How do I check memory limit? |

I can't seem to get a post made in the forum update to the newsgroup... the post works on the site, but it seems to never have been sent back to the NNTP server...
Any Ideas? |
