I'm trying to find where in the database messages are marked as being read.

We are using a command line unix system so all users currently use slrn (via NNTP). What I'm wanting to do is allow a user to read in their ~/.jnewsrc file and sych it with FUDforum. Because the messages are kept by their id from the Xref field doing this automatically seemed impractical as it would slow down page loading by a huge amount :/

The messages are marked read via the "fud26_read" table .

Hmm now I see.

You automatically mark the latest message and set the previous messages as read automatically.

This makes things easier for me, I think Smile as .jnewsrc keeps the mark of the messages like

group.rss.bbc.world: 1-3967,3970,3975

Cheers

Another quick question please ^_^;;

I've parsed the msg ids and am trying to add these to the fud26_msg table along with everything else. I could only find the insert statement in imsg_edt.inc.t

I added a variable to fud_msg - $msg_number and in nntp.inc I have

$tmp_msg_number = explode(":", $this->headers['xref']);
$this->msg_number = $tmp_msg_number[1];

to parse the number out. Directly after $msg_post = new fud_msg_edit; I have

$msg_post->msg_number = $this->msg_number;

In fud_msg_edit's add function I extended the insert to insert also into msg_number with the value $this->msg_number.

I have also ofcourse altered the table fud26_msg to have a column msg_number.

Problem with running nntp.php is that msg_number column always returns null. So my only thoughts are that either $msg_post->msg_number = $this->msg_number; is not saving it to the variable which is referenced in the add function or there is another INSERT method that I've missed :/

Any hints would be most appreciated ^_^;

Shouldn't you be using the $tmp_msg_number[0] value?

Ah the format of Xref for our nntp server is

Xref: nntp-server group:messageID
i.e.
Xref: carbon redbrick.rss.bbc.world:4013

So exploding on the ':' will put
carbon redbrick.rss.bbc.world -> [0]
4013 -> [1]

and its the 4013 that Im looking for

Ok, well add some debug code into the import script, make sure that the correct value is retrieved and is indeed passed along to imsg_edt.

I have print statements in nntp.inc which print out the number but for some reason I cant get anything to print out of imsg_edt :/

Altering the insert in the add function to put in certain values does not have any effect either.

Did you rebuild the theme after editing imsg_edt.inc.t with your changes?
