Hello,

I have a large (over 150MB) archive of a live mailinglist in plain mailbox format that I would like to import it in FUD forum. I tried to run 'formail -s maillist.php 1' and it worked well with one exception - it has replaced original post date with current import date. Is there an easy way to fix maillist.php to use message date/time instead current one?

Hmmm... that should be possible to do relatively easily, but you will need to modify maillist.php import script.

You will need to make it parse the date from the headers and use that instead of the current timestamp.

Yeah, sure, that's pretty obvious, but I am new to FUD and don't know where maillist.php inserts the date to DB. I looked for 'date', 'now' etc. in its code and did found nothing, so I expected it in other file (one of many included).

Can you give me more precise directions where may I find part responsible for message date/time settings?

OK, I already found this, that after line 595:
$msg_post = new fud_msg_edit;

i added:

if( isset($emsg->headers['date']) )
$msg_post->post_stamp = strtotime($emsg->headers['date']);

and it worked. The second problem is user's autoregistration time...

Hi,

OK, I already managed it.

If someone wants to incorporate my patch - here it is. I used FUD distribution version 2.3.7.

This patch enables date/time resolving for:
- creating new users
- importing posts

Bye!
