Searchnews, Shadowmail, RSS addons not working with 1.31.5

[SrNupsen]

Not sure which is the correct forum for this one:

During install and testing of 1.31.5 I have noticed the same kind of problem (file not found) with the addons Shadowmail, RSS and Searchnews.

They complain about not finding crcfg.dat, cruser.pl and newsdat.txt.

I solved this problem by hardcoding the path to those files in cra_shadowmail.pl, searchnews.cgi and cra_rss.pl

Unfortunately I don't remember the exact locations or the exact error messages. Not of much use, I'm afraid, but perhaps it's easy to fix anyway.

Yes, it is easy to fix. The prefered way is that the addon uses the $CConfig{'data_path'} variable, as described in this topic (about 5 posts down).

Maybe you could also upload the 1.31.5 release here to CTUS and post about it? That was kind of the purpose when I sent you the email with a link to it some time ago...

Oh, I thought it was for me testing it. Will do ASAP
