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

I've got another problem now :speechless: I keep getting "PHP has encountered a Stack overflow" errors on certain posts, if I skip them it works fine, but I have to tell the script to start on a post count 1 higher than previously - is there any way to fix this? (or at least ignore it?). |

Hi,
Sorry if this is obvious but I'm a bit confused - a few questions: 1. The readme says to set up the forums as usual. I did that. Should I be setting up the forums through the VB3 forum manager and then also go in and set up the newsgroups with the same names in the nntp settings?? 2. Second, I input everything and the page just hangs when I execute the gateway.php file. Here is what I get - then the page says DONE in the status bar and nothing else happens, script locks for 30 minutes, no sign of posts being read into my forums: Any help is GREATLY appreciated! -------- Gateway version 2.3.2 2 group(s) gatewayed. Connecting to server, server says: 200 Supernews server ready - posting allowed Server responded after user name: 381 PASS required Server responded after password: 281 authentication succeeded Info for rec.models.rc.soaring at news20.forteinc.com: 211 1841 34684 36524 rec.models.rc.soaring group selected |
