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

I have uploaded a new gateway.php to page 44.
"Xxxx Wrote:" is working now. I have also added the ability to strip the [font=xxx] tags. Alan, I am not quite sure what you meant about {1} Said. In vB3, the quote text works by using this tag: PHP Code:
I am only running RC2 at the moment. A quick browse through RC3 release note indicated very little difference between them. So I think the script should work with RC3. |

Never mind - it looks like you picked a whole different way of doing the quote thing - I tested it and it works just fine.
Thanks! |

One thing, though -
Since I upgraded to the new script there's some weirdness in the "last post" column on forumhome - the thread links on forumhome point to the wrong thread. Everything else works just fine You can check it out on http://ebassist.com - you don't need an account to read. thanks, lierduh - if there's anything I can do to help you with this please don't hesitate to holler. |

Uploaded a fixed gateway_RC2.zip on page 44.
Thanks for finding out the problems, Alan. A few other things I need to work on include: * Further strip all BB tags before sending the local posted posts to Usenet. This should include the custom BB codes * Table prefix workability * Email notification for new Usenet posts ... I will keep working on it bit by bit unless Gilby releases the official vB3 version of gateway.php |

Um - that didn't fix it? Mine's still got thread titles mixed up
What you've got so far is working just great. All I found was that one little glitch. Let me know if I can help - I'm not a coder but I'm a heck of a tester. My gateway runs every ten minutes - you can check it out anytime you like cheers - |

It will fix itself up after a new usenet post is retrieved. Let me know if the problem persists. (don't tell me I uploaded the wrong one).

The gateway's already picked up a few posts and the thread title still isn't working.
You might wanna check version numbers - at least it'll be an easy fix |

Please check around line 274. It should be like this:
PHP Code:
and around line 364: PHP Code:
The lastthreadid is used for the front page link. Please check your database to see if that is updated each time a post is imported. |

No proxy - I own the server
The line 364 section was different from what you just posted - here's what I had: PHP Code:
