Phorummail for Phorum 5

No, in the post you are refering too that a "phorum <-> maillist"-feature is "not yet done".

that means a INTERFACE between phorum and a maillist, not phorum being a maillist-server on its own (which can't be done at all).

That makes more sense thanks.

To get it to work I had to modify two things:

* add the mimedecode PEAR class in the (nonexistent) ./mail/ directory
* add include_once("./include/profile_functions.php"); to PhorumMail.php (along with the other includes)

Now it works reaosnably fine, thanks for releasing this module! (I'd be stuck with Phorum 3.x otherwise!)

Oh, I guess Mail_Mime is not standard? All the servers I had access to have it on there so I assumed it was.

Why did you need profile_functions? I have this working here without it. Do you have some modules that may need it and did not include it themselves?

Maybe hosted servers have it standard, but I'm running my own setup. There is some more info to be found here: [www.theukwebdesigncompany.com]

I got an error in the function: phorum_check_ban_lists()

This function is defined in profile_functions...

You think I am on a $5/month account? Unless you said --without-pear on the configure or running old PHP version, it should be there. Either way, I have changed the install.txt to mention this.

Sorry, fixed. I had copied those lines from my test version but not copied the include before releasing.

I'm not thinking that at all, but I'm running this setup on OS/2 and that has less pre-configured defaults, maybe. PEAR is excluded anyway.

Okay. I almost got attachments working too - but I am storing them in the filesystem, rather than the database (too much DB growth for my taste)

What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the filedetails correct into the files table. For this, I would need to have the message ID, and I assume there is a function to retrieve it, but that fails so far.

Could you give me a hint?

BTW - I will be using Phorum to store years of mailinglist archives - which contain a lot of attached files - that's why I'm looking into this.

Never mind, figured this out as well. Would you be interested in reviewing my hacked mod?

Please find it attached. I added some explanation in the original [install.txt]. It can handle multiple attachments and they can be stored either in the DB or the filesystem.

Enjoy,
