Yes, I left the structure the same and copied the files into the distribution.

It is there, and populated with files for each group.

I see the translation array in gpost.php, but not in sync.php.

I've been trying this but I'm not sure how to 'set it'. I've tried several variations on adding it to the array in each, but nothing changes. sync.php builds stuff, but I don't see how it gets put into the db.

Can you list an example line to add/change for each file?

Nothing in error.log.

application.log looks ok:

no index found for group rocksolid.shared.test, building it
building index for group rocksolid.shared.test
update for group rocksolid.shared.testsolid.shared.testest
syncing message # 1 from group rocksolid.nodes

Obviously, I don't understand how it all ties together, but I'd like to get it working if possible.

yes, sorry, this is what i meant.

i will post a config example.

the way a synced article gets inserted in the db is that sync.php calls gpost.php and tells it to.
if you don't see any error message in application.log this should have worked already.

this is the relevant part of the central config file (./inc/config.php):

$config['nntpchan'] = array();

// Enable NNTPChan integration
$config['nntpchan']['enabled'] = true;

// NNTP server
$config['nntpchan']['server'] = "192.168.1.1:1119";
$config['nntpchan']['name'] = "username";
$config['nntpchan']['password'] = "password";

// Global dispatch array. Add your boards to it to enable them. Please make
// sure that this setting is set in a global context.
$config['nntpchan']['dispatch'] = array(
'rocksolid.nodes' => 'n',
'rocksolid.nodes.help' => 'nh',
'rocksolid.nodes.announce' => 'na',
'rocksolid.shared.encryption' => 'ec',
'rocksolid.shared.entertainment' => 'et',
'rocksolid.shared.freenet' => 'f',
'rocksolid.shared.general' => 'g',
'rocksolid.shared.hacking' => 'ha',
'rocksolid.shared.helpdesk' => 'he',
'rocksolid.shared.i2p' => 'i',
'rocksolid.shared.linux' => 'l',
'rocksolid.shared.news' => 'ne',
'rocksolid.shared.offtopic' => 'b',
'rocksolid.programming' => 'code',
'rocksolid.shared.rocksolid' => 'r',
'rocksolid.shared.security' => 'opsec',
'rocksolid.social' => 'soc',
'rocksolid.shared.test' => 'ts',
'rocksolid.shared.tor' => 'to',
); // 'overchan.test' => 'test'

// Trusted peer - an IP address of your NNTPChan instance. This peer will have
// increased capabilities, eg.: will evade spamfilter.
$config['nntpchan']['trusted_peer'] = '127.0.0.1';

// Salt for message ID generation. Keep it long and secure.
$config['nntpchan']['salt'] = 'something_very_long_and_radom';

// A local message ID domain. Make sure to change it.
$config['nntpchan']['domain'] = 'yourdomain.org';

the server data of the nntp server ( $config['nntpchan']['server'], $config['nntpchan']['name'] and
$config['nntpchan']['password'])
is not actually important, since the posting works differently now (by dropping the message in the outspool), but i set them regardless.

and this is the relevant part of the local config (so, for a board called "ts" this is ./ts/config.php):

$config['nntpchan'] = array();

// Enable NNTPChan integration
$config['nntpchan']['enabled'] = true;

// NNTP server
$config['nntpchan']['server'] = "localhost:10119";

// Trusted peer - an IP address of your NNTPChan instance. This peer will have
// increased capabilities, eg.: will evade spamfilter.
$config['nntpchan']['trusted_peer'] = '127.0.0.1';

// Salt for message ID generation. Keep it long and secure.
$config['nntpchan']['salt'] = 'something_long_and_random';

// A local message ID domain. Make sure to change it.
$config['nntpchan']['domain'] = 'yourdomain.org';

// An NNTPChan group name.
// Please set this setting in your board/config.php, not globally.
$config['nntpchan']['group'] = 'rocksolid.shared.test';
again, this one here ($config['nntpchan']['server']) does not do anything, but I set it regardless.

if you ran sync.php and it put out "syncing message yxz" and there is no error message, but the message is not visible, i would suspect that it was silently dropped because something was not defined.

let me know if that helped.

and the most likely reason why this did not work is that you need to adapt the server settings in the file sync.php to reflect yours, i think i forgot to mention before, sorry.
it is in line 398.
