Hi al :-)

This is a very short install guide to a very crumpy phpBB hack called mynp.

1) PREFACE

mynp was written to provide usenet groups for a intranet forum. In the current state I do not take any responsibility for any damages that may arise from use of this software.

It must be said that I would describe the current state as experimentical. Say pre-alpha.

I would appreciate any comments very much. Please help me to implement more features/get the current features stable.

Any comments go to sc@itst-cca.de or visit my homepage http://www.itst.org/specials.php





2) INSTALLATION

mynp stands for "my news portal" and was written to have accesc to a specified usenet server from a phpBB forum.

The steps to take:

	1) edit functions.inc.php ( the first lines, defining the server and the port. also check mynp-fetch, whats value is the sum of messages fetches from every group.)

	2) excute getgroups.php from command line. it should generate a file groups.txt.

	3) open mynp.php in a webbrowser. (recommended is doing this over a server) here you can check what groups to subscribe to.

	4) say mysql source install.sql. this inserts some rows to easier recognize usenet groups from within phpBB

	5) edit index.php. as a start, copy my index.php over yours.

	6) you should be ready to run.
