Newsgroup exporter and filters question

Hi all,

 

We're running Jive 2.6.2 and using the NNTP import/export function for some of our forums.  Everything is working well, but I have a question about NNTP and the special Jive formatting tags (**, etc.).

 

We'd like our users to be able to use the special tags when they post to the newsgroup through Jive, but then strip them out of the message before it's sent to the newsgroup (of course the newsgroup reader has no idea what they are).  Is there any way of doing this - I checked the APIs but didn't see anything.  Can you do this with Jive 3 and Jive events?

 

Thanks,

Jay

Re: Newsgroup exporter and filters question

Jay,

 

Interesting question. Unfortunately, there is no quick way to strip out the Jive formatting tags without editting the source.

 

The best place to make those changes would likely be in the NewsgroupExporter$NNTPGateway class in the exportData method (for the subject) and in the addContent method for the body.

 

 

Regards,
