For a while I've been using Nightfox's DDLoginMatrix mod to customize the logonãprocess on my BBS.ããHowever, I recently got the itch to try writing my own logon script.

I'm looking for a way to handle the password inputãprompt myself. Once I had the user's input, I would pass it to the logonãmethod.ããSecond: Is there a way to do the same with the system password?

Currently,ãthe password prompt cannot be bypassed, but I could pretty easily make thatãoptional (e.g. do something like bbs.logon(user_name, null, password)) but itãwould only work with a future v3.17 development build.ãã > Second: Is there a way to do the same with the system password?

If supplied, the passwords won't be promptedãfor. Also, if you don't supply the 2nd argument (the user password prompt), itãwon't be displayed either - previously the function would just fail. If youãpass the user password, the prompt isn't displayed anyway, so just passsingãnull or a blank string for the password prompt should be fine.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #24:ã1584 Synchronet BBS Software registrations were sold between 1992 and 1996.ãNorco, CA WX: 89.0øF, 41.0% humidity, 6 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
