• Web Interface

    From Lupine Furmen@21:4/102 to All on Saturday, September 18, 2021 13:58:31
    Has anyone made a web interface for mystic yet? Something along the lines of what is available with SBBS or VA? Would love to be able to allow my users to use the BBS via HTML for those that can't do telnet connections (Like I am unable to do from work). I can use my SBBS board via web, but I hate the Message base interface.

    Want to consolidate my boards into a single instance, and would rather use Mystic than SBBS, but the web interface issue is the only thing holding up
    this project.

    It has been made long ago and is used by many via 'proxy-us-nj.ftelnet.ca'.
    An example is the one I use for my AlphaTest BBS (port 2323):
    <HTML>
    <title>AlphaTest BBS from Web</title>
    <div id="fTelnetContainer"></div>
    <!-- Looks weird, but this ensures your users always get the latest version of fTelnet and not an old version from their cache -->
    <script>document.write('<script src="//embed.ftelnet.ca/js/ftelnet-loader.js?v=' + (new Date()).getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
    <script>
    fTelnet.Hostname = "bcw142.zapto.org";
    fTelnet.Port = 2323;
    fTelnet.ProxyHostname = "proxy-us-nj.ftelnet.ca";
    fTelnet.ProxyPort = 80;
    fTelnet.ProxyPortSecure = 443;
    fTelnet.ConnectionType = "telnet";
    fTelnet.Emulation = "ansi-bbs";
    fTelnet.Init();
    fTelnet.Connect();
    </script>
    <A HREF=http://bcw142.zapto.org:2380/>Back to BBS's Web page</A>
    </HTML>

    In the calling HTML I use:
    <A HREF=bbs.html>Telnet to AlphaTest BBS</A> |

    So as you see the HTML bbs.html is called by the index.html run on Mystic.

    ... Top secret! Burn before reading!

    Can't use fTelnet. All telnet access is blocked at my place of employment. Probably need an HTML5 interface.

    My employer blocks telnet but I can still connect using fTelnet web page as well as my web page that has fTelnet embedded.

    Normally you don't expect to be able to run a BBS people can access from outside at a place of employment! That's why I called the one I have here
    (where I work) Workpoint you can't get here
    I as the name says is a point off the main bbs, not something made to be totally stand alone. You need a VPN setup and then you might as well run it
    on a machine on the other end. As a point system that isn't needed as there
    is an out going connection to talk to the main bbs through.

    ... We all live in a yellow subroutine...
