  • 999-sbbslist

    From Denn@1:103/705 to All on Sun Apr 21 09:37:22 2019
    Ok Ive seen the sbbslist on other webv4 websites and thought I would set it up for outwestbbs.com
    here is the error I get

    !JavaScript C:\sbbs\exec\load\graphic.js line 113: TypeError: bin is null

    I already checked the CVS and I have the latest grapic.js

    this is what my line 113 of graphic.js has

    var blen = bin.length;

    any Idea of how to get this to work?

    On 2019 Apr 22 11:09:56, you wrote to All:

    it has only been 24 hours ;)

    that line is in the setter... you need to trace the code back and see what is calling it and if it is properly passing a binary graphic file to the setter...
    that's an eWAG based on a quick 2 minute look...

    i'm trying to figure out what you mean by "installing it" because the sbbslist comes with and is already set up, AFAIK... or are you talking about setting it up somewhere else other than the terminal/bbs stuff???

    My best guess, offhand, is that it's trying to display a preview image for a BBS, but it doesn't actually have a preview available for that system.

    Did you install sbbslist per these instructions?

    http://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbslist#installation

    If you want to test something for me, you could insert this line
    immediately after line 42 of sbbslist.xjs:

    if (!bbs.preview) return;

    This might make that error go away.

    Try grabbing the latest copy of web/pages/.examples/More/999-sbbslist.xjs from the github repo, and place it wherever you have your current sbbslist.xjs file.
    It looks like this bug was actually fixed back in January; maybe yoyu have an older version of the script.

    I'm using the Jan 2019 version from your GitHub.
    I'll work on it more this weekend.
    Thanks for your input.
