Does anyone have a Default Fallback option in their general settings or know how I can get it to fall back to the desired menu?
The issue. It always falls back to the main menu despite having
fallback set to the "restrict" menu. The docs say there is an option in Configuration - General Settings for the default fallback menu, but I'm not seeing that in the General settings at all, so I can't even change
it globally.
I'm trying to setup the fallback system as more of a gag to go with our theme. We'll have SysOp only areas setup and displayed but for users they fall back to a restricted menu. The restricted menu will just display some ansi representing "The Brig" as they'll be sent to The Brig for attempting to access a restricted area.
Trying to understand this further ... so you have a menu and in that you have set a fallback menu under its 'settings' option? Correct?
And are you doing this in the default theme or in a different theme.. as you can get Mystic (as I understand it) to fall back to the default when needed or if things are missing in the non-default theme(s)
What Avon said ;) I Never thought about trying to do things quite that way. I think it expects Page Sysop to fallback to Page Sysop on the fallback theme not just a single page. Still I don't see why, if the
theme has only one page that it wouldn't fall back to that. The fallback is to a theme not a menu generally.
Reading direct from the Menu Editor at the bottom of the screen when you have Fallback highlighted, "Menu loaded if user has no access" This
says to me that it should redirect to whatever menu you have set in Fallback if the user doesn't have access to the menu. I'm not reading that as falling back to a different theme, but a different menu.
When I test this here at Troy's Den it does exactly what it say. If the user does not have the access level set in the menu editor, it sends
them to the fallback menu.

That is what I would expect, but both here locally on my W10 system and
on Chuck's BBS system (Linux) it's not doing that. I almost feel like there's something I'm missing and not seeing it. :(
I found the issue. The issue resided within the /* sysop command on the main menu. Where in the "access" it said s10, the actual execution of
the command was still set to s255. It's falling back to the correct
page.
Thanks for all input.
Almost. I'd like to setup any Sysop only command, like Delete a
Question from the voting both to redirect to "The Brig" if they don't
have access, but that command is not a menu. A menu can fall back to another menu, but a command can't fall back to a menu. It would be nice if I could set something up that says....

The access system actually has tons of flexibility, take a look at http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=access_control
