Hi DM,ããIn Synchronet's JavaScript, is there a (reliable) way to determine whichãmessage area the user is posting a message in? From what I can tell, there areã2 JavaScript variables that store sub-board codes:ãbbs.smb_sub_code: The sub-board code of the message being readãbbs.cursub_code: The sub-board code of the user's current sub-boardããThe problem is that those two sub-board codes can be different, and the userãcould be posting a message in either of those sub-boards. I'm not sure how toãreliably tell which of those sub-boards the user is posting a message in.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Thanks for the reply. A property to store whichãmessage sub is being posted into might be good in future versions ofãSynchronet.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Re: Determining the posting message areaã By: MCMLXXIX to Digital Man on Mon Feb 18 2013 09:34:18ãã MC> what about User.cursub? ããInteresting - The documentation makes it sound like user.cursub might be theãone, but that doesn't seem to reflect the user's current sub-board. I triedãusing Synchronet's Message Read prompt in my current sub-board (to make sureãall the JS variables are set properly) and then wrote a test JS script toãoutput user.cursub, and it was for a different sub-board, into which I hadãposted a message last night. So I'm not sure which sub-board user.cursub isãmeant to refer to.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã
