Re: Xoops / Newsgroups setup - almost got it

(Old thread, I know...)

Has there been an update on this?

My XOOPS site, testdriven.com, places nntp content into forums using a backend script (using evil procmail). It does so by processing incoming mail from the newsgroup, which is only partially satisfactory, especially as far as threading is concerned.

A module that would tap into NNTP directly would indeed be a good solution; I looked at the Web-news module, but it doesn't seem to be available now.

Thanks,
Eric

Re: Getting my hacks and database back?

Just now faced the same issue.

Made a local copy of a 2.0.9.2 site on my laptop (database+files). Remote site has Apache 1.3.33/PHP 4.3.9/MySQL 3.23.49, local same except Apache 2.0.52. PCRE versions are also identical (4.5). Zend peaks at 1.3.0 in both locations.

As indicated earlier here, changing the line:
'errfile' => preg_replace("|^" . XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/|", '', $errFile),

to:
'errfile' => preg_replace("|^" . preg_quote(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH) . "/|", '', $errFile),

did the trick for me.

Not quite.

Google has an algorithm that tries to "sense" what you may be likely to click on, and prefetches that:

LINK REL="PREFETCH" tags are automatically prefetched, as mentioned on GWA's Webmaster FAQ page, but GWA does more than just prefetching these tags.

Thank you Ackbarr, the hack is definitely worth considering. I've contacted GIJoe for some extra info.

Google Web Accelerator: is it an issue with Xoops?

Hello all,

There's been a certain buzz lately about GWA accessing all pages for prefetch, and peeking into links it shouldn't link to. The threat may be overstated, but it doesn't hurt being vigilant.

So, could GWA mess up a XOOPS site?

GWA basically works like a spider, prefetching all links present on a page. If a XOOPS administrator is logged in with GWA turned on, Google will try to prefetch all links (including "delete account" buttons, etc.).

Is 2.0.10 immune to this kind of spidering?

As an aside, will GIJoe's Protector module automatically shun those IPs (range 72.14.192.0-255) to deny GWA "autoclicks" or should we enter the range in the Protect center?

Thanks,
Eric

If this is valid regex (and I have no reason to believe the XOOPS team have implemented their own custom regex), the caret indicates the start of a line; omitting it simply means I also want to ban words like 'TheOneAndOnlyModerator', and not just words beginning with 'moderat'.

Thanks for the input. I was only thinking of words that would induce confusion as to the status of the user, but offensive language obviously qualifies.

Re: User names to block

Reviving an old thread to try to get some ideas for user names to block.

I just added "editor" and declensions of "moderator" to the list, and would like to hear of some other words that could cause confusion.
Quote:
webmaster|^xoops|^admin|editor|moderat

Do I need to put in a full regex for the last one to work properly, e.g. '\w*moderat\w*', or will 'moderat' match anything containing those letters?

Any other words you may have found useful to shun away?

Thanks.

Whaddya mean "if it really works"? I don't post code that ain't tested .

I got it to work on a XOOPS site on my laptop before submitting it here. Let us know how it goes, but there's no reason it shouldn't do the trick (unless you have conflicting <head> tags).

I've just been hit by the obvious...

All that's needed is to set an output buffer, and then insert the script where appropriate!

So, for the subject dealt with here, first set up a function to insert the script (that's a barebone version, you can make it more fancy):
function insert_javascript($buffer) {
  $jstags = '<script src="'.XOOPS_URL.'/modules/mycoolmodule/admin/file.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2">
</script>
';
  return str_replace('</head>',"$jstags</head>",$buffer);
}

Then wrap up the header and footer, like so:
ob_start('insert_javascript');
xoops_cp_header();
// html output goes here
xoops_cp_footer();
ob_end_flush();
