Hi there.

I've forgotten how to write a login script in js :( I know I had one that worked (at least I think I did), but it didn't look like this....

load("sbbsdefs.js");
var uname, LoggedIn;
bbs.logout();
node_action = NODE_LOGON;
while (bbs.online && (!LoggedIn)) {
printf("\r\n\1nEnter Name, Number, '\1hNew\1n', or '\1hGuest\1n'\r\nNN...: ");
uname=console.getstr("",25,K_LOWPRIO+K_E71DETECT+K_TAB+K_UPRLWR);
truncsp(uname);
if (uname=="")
{
printf("Blank");
bbs.hangup;
}
if (uname=="New")
{
printf("New");
bbs.newuser;
bbs.logon;
}
if (bbs.login(uname,"PW: "))
{
printf (user.name+" login complete?!?");
if (bbs.logon)
{
printf (user.name+" logon executed");
if (user.name == "") {LoggedIn=false};
if (!LoggedIn){printf("\r\nLog on procedure Failed for unknown reasons.\r\n")};
}
}
}

What happens is that it runs thru, the user.name remains blank after
bbs.logon is executed, even tho bbs.login and bbs.logon are both successful.

if I don't loop with the LoggedIn variable, sbbs drops to an error (user not logged in) to the console, and 11/1 02:45:20p Node 1 !ERROR 13 (WinError 158) in answer.cpp line 281 checking "User not logged on" access=0
in the log.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Also, the newer DOVE-Net areas (like this one) arn't on my system. a little off-topic, but is there an easy way to add these?

Thanks.

Not related to your problem, but I think that this line:

printf("\r\n\1nEnter Name, Number, '\1hNew\1n', or
'\1hGuest\1n'\r\nNN...: ");

will break login scripts that look for "NN:" and not "NN...:"

Hi there.

I've forgotten how to write a login script in js :( I know I had one that worked (at least I think I did), but it didn't look like this....

load("sbbsdefs.js");
var uname, LoggedIn;
bbs.logout();
node_action = NODE_LOGON;
while (bbs.online && (!LoggedIn)) {
printf("\r\n\1nEnter Name, Number, '\1hNew\1n', or '\1hGuest\1n'\r\nNN...: ");
uname=console.getstr("",25,K_LOWPRIO+K_E71DETECT+K_TAB+K_UPRLWR);
truncsp(uname);
if (uname=="")
{
printf("Blank");
bbs.hangup;

The correct way to call a JavaScript function is with () after the function name. Example: bbs.hangup();

if (uname=="New")
{
printf("New");
bbs.newuser;
bbs.logon;

Same problem here.

}
if (bbs.login(uname,"PW: "))
{
printf (user.name+" login complete?!?");
if (bbs.logon)

And here.

{
printf (user.name+" logon executed");
if (user.name == "") {LoggedIn=false};
if (!LoggedIn){printf("\r\nLog on procedure Failed fo unknown reasons.\r\n")};
}
}
}

What happens is that it runs thru, the user.name remains blank after bbs.logon is executed, even tho bbs.login and bbs.logon are both successful.

You're not actually *calling* these functions, so I would expect all kinds of things to go wrong.

Yeah, you're missing the () :-)

Hahah... Okay. Yea. I remember now. I don't do much programming :)

You're right, I was just adding dots when I was first writing, to differentiate between the stock script and my own when I first connect. By the time I'm done (if I'm ever done) things should be okay :)

bbs.logon()
is a function, not a parameter...

After bbs.logon() you should exit out of the script, technically, anything after it will run between the LOGON event, and the COMMAND SHELL running.

For heavy handholding, "JavaScript for Dummies" isn't bad, I would suggest "JavaScript Bible" by Danny Goodman 3rd or 4th edition (NOT GOLD), as the
intro sections are very thorough, and should get you going..

The concepts are the same for the bbs and the web for the most part,
even though the event model is quite a bit different.

For heaven sake, don't do THAT! Manuals are for WHIMPS!

I should check one of those out. All the programming I've done has been apple][ basic, then turbo pascal 7 for dos. And I spent way too much time learning hardware tricks that are now useless, instead of actual sound programming :)

But Javascript is good to get started again, and text mode is
familiar, so I guess I'll fake my way thru some more.

Thanks again for the help :)
