    Hello echicken!

    Quick question. I've undated my Web V4 installation and also updated SBBS to latest snapshot. Everything appears to be work with the following two "issues":

    1) I am not getting a list of any of my doors/games. MODOPT.INI sec shown below:
    2) While I do see a list of all of my message areas and a blue number to the right hand side, I can not list any messages inside any of the message areas.

    1) I am not getting a list of any of my doors/games. MODOPT.INI sec shown xtrn_sections = MAIN,LGAMES,LEAGUE10,BATTLENT

    I've committed a change to web/root/pages/003-games.xjs which should fix this. (Changing those internal codes to lowercase would also work around this problem; the script will now do that for you though.)

    below: 2) While I do see a list of all of my message areas and a blue number to the right hand side, I can not list any messages inside any of the message areas.

    max_messages = 100

    Seems like I didn't test that 'max_messages' setting at all. I've committed a change to web/lib/forum.js which should address this problem.

    Just updated, recycled the webserver and all and still not able tog et into the
    games section fTelnet sits there as if it's trying to connect but nothing.

    Still no messages being displayed and I've also discovered that the files listing is not working either.

    I'vbe gone over the files in the exec directory to make sure that I didn't miss
    anything during the update and it all looks good to me. Let me know what you need to figure this out.

    Hello echicken!

    Replying to a msg dated 25 Dec 16 23:49, from you to me.

    I've managed to fix the Files and the Forums section after updating with your latest pushes as well and making sure I had all the needed files in the ./exec/load directory. Both Messages and Files are working from the web site now. Only thing still giving me issues is the games section. When I select the games from the top nav bar, I get a page with the fTelnet client in the middle and the sidebars on the right side and nothing else. What should I see there?

    You should see a list of External Programs sections and lists of all of the games in each section. I'll probably revise that script again later today to make this easier to set up / troubleshoot.

    Hopefully not hijacking a thread, but wanting to add some observations. I have 4 external areas configured to display, and when _first_ visiting the 'Games' page, only "Main" and "BBS Games" will show up. The two sections that
    display are the original 'default' external sections from the install of SBBS and ecwebv4. If I refresh the page, the other 2 sections that I added are loaded and displayed as well.

    In case anything might be related... If Steven refreshes the page, do the sections suddenly appear?

    In the case where your other two sections are missing, does anything else look strange about the page? Specifically, is the sidebar or page footer missing?

    If yes, log output from your webserver during that first page load would be helpful (but otherwise probably not).

    If no, I can't imagine what could be happening here apart from a cached copy being displayed.

    In case anything might be related... If Steven refreshes the page, do the sections suddenly appear?

    Doesn't seem that way. I suspect the version of the games page he's using, or something wrong in his modopts.ini file.

    'Games' page, only "Main" and "BBS Games" will show up. The two
    sections that display are the original 'default' external sections
    from the install of SBBS and ecwebv4. If I refresh the page, the
    other 2 sections that I added are loaded and displayed as well.

    In the case where your other two sections are missing, does anything else look strange about the page? Specifically, is the sidebar or page footer missing?

    If yes, log output from your webserver during that first page load would be helpful (but otherwise probably not).

    If no, I can't imagine what could be happening here apart from a cached copy being displayed.

    well.. I pulled the latest ./web/root/pages/003-games.xjs file as I wrote that message, and I'll keep a closer look. I don't think there was anything looking off about the page with the missing info, but of course now it is working as I would expect it to so I have nothing to add about this at this time.

    On another note... is it 'normal' that after running a door program that the page needs to refresh before being able to exec another door program? fTelnet seems to go 'dumb' after a door game exits.

    Yes, this is normal. I haven't looked in a while, but the last time I checked there wasn't much I could do about it. I'll take another peek sometime soon.

    xtrn_sections = MAIN,LGAMES,LEAGUE10,BATTLENT

    Well, the format of this setting is correct, so that's good.

    The page is rendering properly on your site, there don't seem to be any errors, so that's good.

    The <div> where the list of 'Online Program Sections' is meant to appear is there, it's just empty. This means that from the script's perspective, there's nothing to display.

    In order for a section to appear in that list, the currently logged-in user must have permission to access the section, and there must be at least one available program configured in that section. I'm wondering if there's something configured under 'Access Requirements' for these sections in SCFG which might be causing problems for web users - "required node number", "required connect rate", I dunno.

    Both 003-games.xjs and 003-games.xjs.ssjs were updated today from your repository.

    So, FWIW 003-games.xjs.ssjs does not exist in my repository; that file is generated at runtime when a client requests 003-games.xjs from the webserver.

    Can you confirm that you're updating from here:

    https://github.com/echicken/synchronet-web-v4

    There are five forks of that repository on github. It's possible that you're updating from the wrong place, and not actually getting my latest changes.

    Yes, I just updated from that repository, just to make sure I had everyting, and that is the repository I have book marked.

    I veroified that I have no access requirements or anything set on the external programs settings either and I still do not get a page listing the door sections or the doors.

    That will help (recycling unnecessary here) but won't resolve the major problem he's having. Good catch, though.

    Any time sbbs.ini is edited it should recycle anyways, but just thought I'd point it out separately.

    Regards,
    Nick

    Both 003-games.xjs and 003-games.xjs.ssjs were updated today from your repository.

    If you want to try updating again, web/root/pages/003-games.xjs has been updated, as well as web/lib/init.js. I'm not sure that this will fix your problem (I still don't understand why it isn't working for you), but the script now takes a different approach to generating the list of games.

    The xtrn_sections setting in the [web] section of ctrl/modopts.ini is no longer used. You can leave it there if you want and it won't hurt anything, but you may as well delete it. A new 'xtrn_blacklist' setting has been added instead.

    The xtrn_blacklist setting is a comma-delimited list of internal codes to exclude from being listed on the Games page. These can be internal codes of specific programs, or of entire program sections.

    On another note... is it 'normal' that after running a door program
    that the page needs to refresh before being able to exec another
    door program? fTelnet seems to go 'dumb' after a door game exits.

    This should be fixed now, but it requires a few updates.

    mods/websocket-rlogin-service.js
    web/lib/init.js
    web/root/pages/003-games.xjs

    The 'xtrn_sections' setting in 'ctrl/modopts.ini' is no longer used. It has been replaced by an inverse 'xtrn_blacklist' setting. Info is on the GitHub page and in my previous message to Steven. This may be a minor inconvenience for some people, but makes setup a bit easier and makes more sense to me now.

    OK, progress, thank you very much echicken, I really appreciate you're working on this with me. Now, I see all the games listed by section, but it only launches game #2 in the Local games section, which is my TW2002 Server game, no
    matter what game I click on in any section.

    My guess is that your TW2002 Server is listening for RLogin connections, and this is what fTelnet is connecting to (via websocket-rlogin-proxy.js) rather than your Synchronet BBS.

    Can you tell me what you have in the [BBS] section of ctrl/sbbs.ini for RLoginInterface and RLoginPort? Do you have ALLOW_RLOGIN in the Options list in that same section? I suspect that you'll be able to fix this by ensuring that ALLOW_RLOGIN is set, and that RLoginPort is set to some currently-unused port number.

    Nailed it echicken, thank you so much! My TW2002 Server had it's admin port sitting on 513. Once I moved that and restarted Synchronet, it started working as expected/ Again, thank you so much for the support of a free product and thank you for guiding me through this.
