I'm probably overlooking this in the docs, but if I'm building a custom module how can I save data back to the Synchronet database or elsewhere? I'm still really foggy in how Sync saves data to the file system. I'm playing with some ideas for custom modules which will need to save data back, just not sure howãto do this.ããAppriciate the input.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Camping on the Internet at Camp Baudot BBS - campbaudot.comã

Synchronet and its modules don't store all of their data in any one place following any one format.ããThe exec/load/userprops.js library lets you set per-user keys and values arbitrarily.ããThe built-in File class lets you do typical file IO stuff. It's documented in jsobjs.html* and there are many usage examples in exec/. Create your own file wherever you like and put whatever you want in it. You can use it with ini files and with JSON.parse/JSON.stringify if you like.ããThere's the JSON-DB service, which lets you share a JS object among multiple clients including remote BBSs. Has a subscription feature so it'll push real-time updates to clients.ããThe user, message, and file databases can all be interacted with from JS. See the User class, the MsgBase class, the FileBase class in jsobjs.html*.ãã* https://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.htmlã ã--- ãechicken ãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

Lemme go quick make a gitlab issue for "Windows Registry style of data storage."

you can use ini style files too and your future module can be more
portable, windows registry sucks
