Hi gang,

Having another go at FUD Forum. I just started importing a mailman mailing list archive into a FUD forum and came across two issues:

1) email addresses within posts are not being munged - this was being done nicely in my other archiving system. Any way we can do this without running the messages through another parser? Would be desirable to be able to munge email addresses on a per-list basis.

2) users created automatically via the maillist.php script have their email address publicly visible by default. I seem to recall having changed this in the past but don't remember where or how.

So far very happy with the progress FUD has made since I last tried this.. maybe it's time for me to finally take the plunge! Smile

Smile

Best wishes,

Tobias

Hi,

Another issue I just noticed with this import is that the date used to measure the daily average number of posts by users seems to be the date the script was run, not the date the user wrote the message. I've now got many users with lines like this in their profile:

59 Messages(s) (59 average messages per day)

Cheers,

Tobias

The e-mail visibility is something that I've just fixed, patch below:
http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=2810

The e-mail mangling is already being done by encoding parts of the mail using html entities. This makes it look normal and @ the same time protect it against most e-mail scanning bots.

The message averages have been fixed, the problem was incorrect setting of the registration date, which should've been using the timestamp of the message instead of the current date, patch is below.

Hi - Many thanks as always for your quick response. I'll try out your fixes. In the meantime, are you sure the addresses within email posts are being mangled? I can totally see them, click on them.. they are "mailto:" links. Or are you referring to the email addresses listed in the profiles?

Cheers,

Tobias

The whole idea is that they look normal, if you actually look @ the source code you'll see that parts of the e-mail are replaced with HTML entities.

Hi Ilia,

Looks like the munging feature you're talking about is not supported by Firefox, the browser I'm using. Can you make this somehow configurable?

Meanwhile, I'm back on another problem I had resolved last time and can't get to work again: setting up a default forum and having all unconfigured mailing list messages go into there. Here's the thread on how you helped me last time: http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=11079&#msg_11079

Would be grateful if you could help me to get this working on the latest version of the maillist.php script. Ideally, this would be a configurable option in the maillist.php script or in the FUD admin interface.

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi Ilia,

OK, I've downloaded the latest version of maillist.php from cvs, and have deduced a couple of things:

1) it seems to me I was asking for the wrong thing before with the default forum - what I need is for the messages to go into a default forum when the list address is not found in the database. The hack you gave me last time works only if there was no list name or list id number specified at all.

2) I am realizing what I'd really like is for maillist.php to actually create a new forum (in a hidden category) when it encounters a message that has a list address that does not exist already in FUD. Is this something that would be more widely useful and could be implemented?

I'm loving maillist.php by the way - this is a great script! Smile

Smile

Best wishes,

Tobias

I have no plans to add forum creating functionality to maillist script.

Ok - I can appreciate that you don't want to add forum-adding functionality. No problem there. Smile

Does seem a little like mission creep.

Can you advise me on how to get the default forum working?

Many thanks,

Tobias

Sorry for wasting time - I just had a closer look at the script and was able to fix it myself.

At line 384, I made this change:

        if (!$mlist) {
//              exit('Invalid list identifier');
                $mlist = db_sab('SELECT * FROM '.sql_p.'mlist WHERE id=2');

        }

It now appears to be working great.

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi Ilia,

It seems to me that the users that are automatically added shouldn't even be visible until they've come into FUD and set up their profile. Can you point out to me where I can customize the default settings for automatically added users?

Cheers,

Tobias

users_reg.inc.t line #46, which sets up the default option bitmasks for the user.

thanks for this - am I right in assuming from the explanation in fud_users.tbl (below) that the option bitmasks are basically added together to arrive at the number in the options field? So I subtract 32768 from the bitmap?

Cheers,

Tobias

If you want to make the user hidden, you add the number to the bitmask otherwise subtract it.
