Howdy,ããCan somebody (DM?) give me some guidance here - something is not working as I expect.ããI've writing my own "shell" for SBBS, which is to handle the user before login, and after. So I'm using the same javascript to handle login.js and the users shell "ansitex". (It is aware if the user is "logged in" or not - and I'm using it to leverage a consistent experience.)ããDuring login, things work well - notice the "INIT: [undefined]" is the first line of my javascript:ããlog(LOG_DEBUG,'INIT: ['+ansitex+']');ãvar ansitex;ããif (! ansitex) {ãã // Load many SBBS definitionsã load('sbbsdefs.js');ã // Load text.dat definitionsã load('text.js');ã // Key definitionsã load('key_defs.js');ã // Enable to manipulate the ANSI terminalã ansi = load({},'ansiterm_lib.js');ã login = load({},'ansitex/control/login.js');ãã // Ansitex specific includesã load('ansitex/load/defs.js');ã load('ansitex/load/funcs.js');ã ansitex = true;ã}ãã(I didnt have the test for ansitex originally, I thought it might be able to bypass the load statements when ansitex.js runs - but it appears that ansitex value is not retained (which I didnt expect that it would be actually))ãã5/26 16:50:25 term Node 1 auto-detected terminal type: 80x25 ANSIã5/26 16:50:26 term Node 1 terminal type: 80x25 synctermã5/26 16:50:26 term Node 1 INIT: [undefined]ã5/26 16:50:26 term Node 1 Loaded control/login.jsã5/26 16:50:26 term Node 1 ansiterm.sending: [?25lããWhen the user supplies their login details, it calls:ããif (bbs.login(fo.frame_fields[0].fvalue,null,fo.frame_fields[1].fvalue)) {ã log(LOG_DEBUG,' - User:'+JSON.stringify(bbs.user));ã bbs.logon();ã log(LOG_DEBUG,' - EXIT:');ã exit();ã}ããto which logon.js takes over (this is the stock SBBS logon.js) logon.js complains about:ãã5/26 16:56:00 term Node 1 <Test> !JavaScript /opt/sbbs/exec/logon.js line 12: TypeError: load is not a functionããthen after logon.js has completed, login.js exits and the user shell takes over - which is ansitex.js (the same file as login.js) - you can see the EXIT: debug statement, shortly after starting again with the INIT debug line.ãã5/26 16:50:37 term Node 1 <Test> - User:undefinedã5/26 16:50:37 term Node 1 <Test> (0003) Test Logon 98 - 7ã5/26 16:50:38 term Node 1 <Test> - EXIT:ã5/26 16:50:38 term Node 1 <Test> Executing external: ?ansitexã5/26 16:50:38 term Node 1 <Test> INIT: [undefined]ã5/26 16:50:38 term Node 1 <Test> !JavaScript /opt/sbbs/mods/ansitex.js line 7: TypeError: load is not a functionã5/26 16:50:38 term Node 1 <Test> disconnecting clientããSo why the errors about "load is not a function"?

Something needs to set the SS_USERON flag in sbbs_t::sys_status. This is normally done via sbbs_t::logon() (JS bbs.logon()).ãã > And to validate, if I create a logon.js with only:ã >ã > // ANSItex Logon Shellã > console.print('LOGON...');ã >ã > I dont get the error...ã >ã > Must you call a logon.js via bbs.logon()?ããNo. I'm guessing your call to bbs.logon() is failing before it can set SS_USERON, so your log output should give the details why.ããã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #45:ãJS = JavaScriptãNorco, CA WX: 87.6øF, 38.0% humidity, 15 mph E wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
