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:
Future development
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
31 Oct 2004 Fixed bugs running the gateway by the vB3 Scheduled Tasks 1 March 2004 Uploaded the new zip file. It contains one or two bug fixes. Show Your Support

lierduh, many thanks for the update. One man, one word - good to see you made it ! It?s all working as it should and the eMails now have the real sender eMail-adress in the header. Simply great ! But one thing I?ve got to mention.. - everything I post in the forums now becomes imported to the newsgroups twice. First as a new posting and in the same moment as a reply to it. Here?s the debug-msg: Quote:

The option "organization check" is already set. The problem is, that if I post a new thread in the forums, gateway.php is sending them to the newsgroups and creates not only the single post I?ve written before - it generates a second one too with the same message-ID. When I take a closer look at these two postings with a newsreader, they appear as two different posts. One as thread starter (i.e. with msg-no. xxxxx1), one as a reply to it (with msg-no. xxxxx2). In my forums it?s still a single post (and only the "organization check" prevents the re-import to the forums) - but not in the newsgroups. There you?ll find 2 postings. One as thread starter, the other one as a reply to it (marked with the prefix "Re:" ). Haven?t had this problem before the update and changed non of the new updated files - and I have no clue, what?s going on... |

But - I don?t know if you noticed that by now: as far I can see, you`re running into the the same problem that I have. I had a look into your forums where it is only one single post - not two of them like your gateway.php is posting them to the newsgroups. :ermm: Btw, what means Continue posting - terminate with period240 ? I?ve never seen this before in relation to this Add-On. |

I think it is caused by Microsoft news server. Where it chucks out an 340 before taking the message. I will check this out and fix. |
