Good evening,
How do you set up file echos for down links with SBBS or sbbsecho?

I have never set one up for an ftn feed before with another tosser, so I am
not certain what I need to set up to get it working.

Thanks!

tickit.js is the simplest way. There are instructions in exec/tickit.js and on the wiki..

http://wiki.synchro.net/module:tickit

It simple to setup.. add the TICKIT event and add the areas you want to import to ctrl/tickit.ini. My tickit.ini has a bunch of areas that like like this..


[DAILYLIST]
Dir=FIDO-DAILYLIS

That will import files you receive in the DAILYLIST area. If you also want to send that file to any of your links add a links line like so..

Links=1:234/567,1:233/444

There is also a nodelist handler you can use on areas that have nodelists to keep your nodelist upto date, for binkit or a nodelist browser like ftnnv.

Ttyl :-),

I second that. Recently setup TickIT, and it works well.

Thanks, Al. One problem I am having with it is that it gives me errors on
any tic that contains a tic password. It says that the password is present
but that the TicFilePwd (in sbbsecho.ini) is blank. However, it is not blank... it matches, case and all. :)

Luckily, for the ones I am passing to downlinks, they do not have passwords
so I am not having the issue. Only with the ones I get from my FIDO hub
that I want to have processed by adding them to a file area.

Ahh.. I had to remove the domain from my sbbsecho.ini in order for tickit to read the passwords correctly. My node lines looked like..

node:1:234/567@fidonet

So I changed it to this..

node:1:234/567

And now it works OK. A bug of some sort that we'll need to catch Deuce and let him know.

There is another bug I notice.. sometimes tickit will import a file just fine, and there will be another file in the database that doesn't exist. Usually with a 1 letter filename, or maybe a few letters. The last one was a file named "source". Maybe it is getting that from the description I'm not to sure. I've just been deleting those entries with files that don't exist.

Yep known issue. Was discussed in the last week or two. :)

i think this is TickIT not supporting the @ftndomain part of the address...
