  • need to update hostname for ftelnet window on main webv4 webpage

    From smooth0401@1:103/705 to ALL on Tue Jul 30 15:23:33 2024
    Hey All,

    I was looking through the different INIs and JS/ files but came up empty. I need to change the hostname that ftelnet is trying to connect to, from risenshinebbs.com to rns.risenshinebbs.com.

    If I view the source for the main homepage, I see this under the fTelnet configuration portion:

    Options.Hostname = 'risenshinebbs.com';

    I looked in the modopts.ini and did see the ftelnet enable, and splash screen, but not hostname. I tried adding it there with different syntax variations, but no dice. I also tried to set the global hostname in the sbbs.ini, and also the the domain under the internet email setting... where is this being pulled from??

    I did see the ftelnethelper.js and ftlnet.js, but again, didn't see anything related to the hostname. Is it possible to manually edit a file somewhere and put in the updated telnet address? (rns.risenshinebbs.com)

    Thanks!

    Hey All,

    I was looking through the different INIs and JS/ files but came up empty. I need to change the hostname that ftelnet is trying to connect to, from risenshinebbs.com to rns.risenshinebbs.com.

    If I view the source for the main homepage, I see this under the fTelnet configuration portion:

    Options.Hostname = 'risenshinebbs.com';

    That appears to be set by:
    webv4/pages/000-home.xjs:
    Options.Hostname = '<?xjs write(http_request.vhost); ?>';

    So whatever hostname was used by the browser to reach the web page initially is the same hostname used for the fTelnet websocket connection.

    is this being pulled from??

    The http metadata data provided by the web browser.

    Just wanted to post a followup... I was able to locate the info under 000-home.xjs.

    I added the updated hostname and dropped in the fields for my proxy and now it works great... :)

    Options.ProxyHostname = 'p-us-east.ftelnet.ca';
    Options.ProxyPort = 80;
    Options.ProxyPortSecure = 443;
