Hi all -ããOne of the toggle options for a message area is whether or not a user can ãedit existing messages. I've been looking at Synchronet's JS documentation ãtrying to find a function that will allow a user to edit an existing message, ãbut the docs don't seem to mention a function that would do that. Is ãthere a way to do that in JavaScript?ããEricããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBSã

You can however loadãthe message's text (using the MsgBase class) into a buffer, save to a file,ãthen use the console.editfile() function to edit the contents, load the fileãcontents back into a buffer an duse the MsgBase class to save the modifiedãmessage body.ããIt's probably not worth the effort. :-)ããThe C++ method that would need to be exposed via JS (and isn't) isãsbbs_t::editmsg() and it wouldn't be trivial to do since it needs an openãmessage as an argument. I'll add it to the to-do list however.ãã digital manããSnapple "Real Fact" #73:ãThe average person spends 2 weeks of it's life waiting for a traffic light to change.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
