• logon.asc/ans

    From Fang-Castro@VERT/FTPBBS to All on Tue Aug 18 15:55:43 2020
    The only logon.* (and logon#.*) that will display is 'LOGON.ASC'. And it has to be capitolized.

    I keep them in /text/menu like the wiki says.

    Any ideas as to why?

    No, they don't have to be capitalized. In fact, on *nix OSes, they won't display at if they're capitalized (case-sensitive file system).

    I guess I can just use random#.* and try logon w/the security level. What goes with logon.* to display a security level related file? Obviously logon#.* isn't the security level because it's the additional logon1, 2, 3, etc. files.

    logon.* and logon#.* don't display =/

    It actually is both. The logic is in exec/logon.js:

    // Logon screens

    // Print successively numbered logon screens (logon, logon1, logon2, etc.)
    var highest_printed_logon_screen=-1;
    for(var i=0;;i++) {
    var fname="logon";
    if(i)
    fname+=i;
    if(!bbs.menu_exists(fname)) {
    if(i>1)
    break;
    continue;
    }
    bbs.menu(fname);
    highest_printed_logon_screen = i;
    }

    // Print logon screens based on security level
    if(user.security.level > highest_printed_logon_screen
    && bbs.menu_exists("logon" + user.security.level))
    bbs.menu("logon" + user.security.level);

    // Print one of text/menu/random*.*, picked at random
    // e.g. random1.asc, random2.asc, random3.asc, etc.
    bbs.menu("random*");

    Do you have the logon.msg or logon.asc variant? If you *only* have a logon.ans file (for example), that's correct, it won't display.

    And this is why Synchronet is the best BBS software. The support is frickin' amazing! I didn't have the .msg/.asc files just the .ans. I made empty .msg/.asc files and *boom* the logon.ans file displayed. tyvm!

    Cool. However, I recommend converting the .ans to a .msg or .asc file (e.g. using http://wiki.synchro.net/util:ans2asc) and just get rid fo the .ans file. Otherwise, non-ANSI users aren't going to see *anything* for that logon screen. Maybe that's what you want however, and that would be okay, but just so you're prepared for that...
