• Upgrading user access while online

    From Flynn@21:2/102 to All on Sunday, June 24, 2018 11:52:57
    Is there a way to validate an online user? If I go through the user editor
    it tells me that they can't be upgraded while online. Is there some sort of hotkey with nodespy or something?

    Thx

    Yes, alt-v to view their session, then alt-e to edit them online, the ctrl-u
    to upgrade ... save and escape a few times..

    Does this work in the Linux version?

    I'm not sure, it does for me in windows, the key is to see the users session, if you can see than then the alt keys *should* work.

    Not sure what you mean by see the users session?

    I would be probably using nodespy in the linux version - or running the
    server in interactive mode.

    Sorry I'm late to this thread.

    In the Linux version of Mystic, there isn't a way to do this. In the Windows version, you can actually open the window and watch what the user is doing while online. The Linux version doesn't give you that option.

    On Windows, if you open the 'users' window, you can alter their settings, and upgrade them while they are online.

    I think this is a difference between windows and linux as in windows when a node is active I can opt to maximise the session window. Use alt-v to view
    the nodes activity then alt-e to edit the node while online... but in Linux I suspect there is no such option.

    I just checked nodespy and when using 'snoop' you can only drop into chat
    with the node or 'kick' them off the bbs

    I should have read this before I replied :)

    A nice to have in Nodespy would be to invoke the alt-e editor ... Ill note
    this as a feature request.
