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

Hi!
This is a great hack and we have been using it for a long time. However we are starting to look at what we are going to need to do when VB 3.0 comes out. Is this hack going to be re-written for 3.0? Cheers! |

Basically, an article object is passed to the forum module for insertion, so any forum vendor or version can be easily supported. The reasons I haven't released it yet are: 1) I still make tweaks every week to the code. 2) There is no easy upgrade path from the existing version. But rest assured, as soon as vB3 is released, it will be released. |

URGENT PLEASE!
I have some situation going with people at usenet groups. They are claiming that I change or fraud the messages they have sent. They noticed that newnews.pl performs some kind of spell checking while importing. Example: In usenet - Q. Is this cool A. No, it's not comes in forums like.. A. Is this cool B. No, it's not I did some further testing ( after I disabled all kind of things) and I sent this to usenet with my Outlook Express n:n A. Q. Z. A.B C.D It came in like n:n o. p. q. r.B s.D What the hell is going on Any ideas? -Joop |

This is caused by the Text::Autoformat module. It somethimes tries to be too clever and attempts to re-number lists... a bit like Microsoft and their annoying 'helpful' Word functions.
You can disable wordwrap on incoming articles by commenting out the following lines in newnews.pl Code:
if ($body =~ /\w/o) { $body = autoformat $body, {right=>$config{article_wrap},all=>1}; } The new version doesn't have this problem. |
