• Question about Ecweb4

    From Heliarc@1:103/705 to All on Friday, March 29, 2019 10:06:19
    Is this the place to ask questions about ecwebv4 ? I haven't made any changes other then installing it. The File section does not work. The link for files points to ftp://mybbs.net/00index.html?$tu247blahblahblah. This is a dead link. How to I get the File Libraries link in the sidebar to point to the files on my ftp server? These are the same files on the BBS. Can anyone help?

    Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    changes other then installing it. The File section does not work. The link for files points to ftp://mybbs.net/00index.html?$tu247blahblahblah. This

    Sounds like you're not actually using ecweb v4. It doesn't generate links like that. The Files page is HTTP based and doesn't use your FTP server.

    Yep, I've been using it for a little while and I like it. Several months ago I decided to finally do away with my older Synchronet web (with a few of my customizations) and started using ecwebv4 instead.

    Yes I checked out the web side of your board today. I noticed the difference right away. It looks great. How does ecwebv4 look on a smart phone? I haven't checked that out yet but I will tonite. Hopefully this improvement will increase BBS activity. Hey .... ya never know.

    ecwebv4 works great on a smart phone. It renders well and looks good and is easily readable.

    Yea! Checked it out last night. I was very please with how it rendered. My phone is small so the virtual keyboard is a little too small for me to use it on a regular basis but the smart phones get bigger and cheaper every year. It's nice to know no matter where I am I can "check in". It's very important to "check in" aint it?? lol

    I like the ability to check in if I want to. I think some smartphones are getting a bit huge for a phone though.. Years ago, I remember when it was considered good to have a phone that was small, not too bulky, but now the trend seems to be going in reverse, that people like having a bigger phone for the bigger screen..

    You noticed that too? I can understand women getting bigger phones. They
    can carry them in their purse. I certainly would'nt want to carry one of the new phones in my pocket. Then again most white collar workers use a brief case so I suppose bigger phone is no problem. Am I talking outloud again???

    No, I used windows wordpad.
    everything I did was hand coded and saved as a plain text file with an .xjs or .txt extension.
    using html codeing.
    below is an example of my links folder

    "<!--Links-->"


    <h4><a href="http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html">Syncronet BBS List</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
    <a href="http://www.synchro.net/">Synchronet BBS Website</a>


    <a href="https://bbslink.net//">BBSLink Website</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/echicken//">echicken's Github</a>


    <a href="https://github.com/denngray//">denn gray's Github</a>


    <a href="http://67.172.243.146:8080/jpg/BBSLink%20Scores.zip">Download BBSLink Score Drop down menu for ecwebv4</a>
    </h4>

    you could cut and paste this into wordpad and save it as a plain text file with an .xjs extension, save it as links.xjs create a folder called links in your sbbs\webv4\pages\ and save links.xjs in the sbbs\webv4\pages\links folder
    and you will now have a links page where you can add the links you want.
    also here is a link to my BBSLink score files in a zip. http://67.172.243.146:8080/jpg/BBSLink%20Scores.zip
    just add a folder to your webv4\pages called BBSLink Scores and drop all the .xjs files in webv4\pages\BBSLink Scores\ and you will have the BBSLink drop down score files for BBSLink.

    Thanks! I'm gonna play around with it..

    Here is the html I used to make my background theme.
    in your index.xjs located at sbbs\webv4\root
    above <?xjs add the following line as the 1st line in your index.xjs

    <body background="url">

    the url is a hotlinked background from anywhere on the internet that allows hotlinking.

    example:<body background="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UoxHRumGYoZ9QrerGB4ZxY-970-80.jpg "
    the background picture can be from anywhere on the Internet that allows hotlinking or from your system.
    it will add the background to all pages on your ecwebv4.

    I forgot, Isn't there a 'key/command' to download or export a message to a text file?

    Most terminal programs support some kind text capture or "ASCII download" type feature. Synchronet also has a "save to file" option for the sysop.

    Is that enabled by default in Synchronet? if so, what would be the command/key?

    I primarily use Syncterm, what's the 'capture' command for that? It's weird, sometimes I can't press the 'Alt-Z' option to bring up the help. Not sure if maybe I compiled it wrong, or it might be a keymap issue with me and Ubuntu. Sometimes my "Alt" works to disconnect or bring up other options, but that's only after randomly pressing an Alt-<Command> a few times, but it doesn't always work. I even tried to change my keyboard settings..

    yes...

    if so, what would be the command/key?

    in most cases where sysop command options are available, use the '!' to see them... in other cases, there is the '?' help... when reading messages, the '?'
    brings up a "reading messages" menu... there're two of them... one for 'e'mail and the other for general message areas...

    ALT-C is what mine shows as the capture command...
