• Sharing my tickit.ini creation script

    From Nelgin@1:103/705 to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Sysops on Tue Aug 14 15:42:11 2018
    For anyone who uses tickit, especially to process node lists, you'll know
    what a pain it is to maintain the tickit.ini file. Just setup a list of
    file areas you want to have processed using the handler, the match and
    nlmatch, along with the domain, and run the script to create or recreate
    your tickit.ini file.

    I don't usually share my scripts because, quite frankly, I am crap at javascript programming and it's rather embarrassing to show your underwear
    to the world. Instructions are in the comments. You can get it from

    http://www.endofthelinebbs.com/maketickit.js

    use wget or save as if using a browser and store it in your /sbbs/mods directory/folder.

    Always open to feedback and suggestions.

    Cool, sounds like a simple way to handle nodelist distribution, just had a look. :)

    Oh, and your Javascript is better than mine. :D

    Not so much distribution but more as putting a nodelist where you want it.
    I have all my lists in my /sbbs/nodelist directory and then use
    echicken's most excellent nodelist browser.

    What would be ideal is if there was some inbuilt connection in sbbs between
    the file group which contains the nodelist, the domain and the match and nlmatch parameters then moving a copy of the nodelist could be handled
    by tickit without having to resort to an external file and a bit of
    duplicated effort. This script tries to minimise that by removing some
    of the manual process when trying to add/remove large numbers of areas.

    Oh OK, cool. Yeah I have to get familiar with more of echicken's software. :)

    Yes, that could be useful.

    I have updated the script to include forcereplace options for modifications
    I have made to tickit.js. See my earlier post on the update if you're interested.
