Hi all,

In DEFAULT.SRC, there's the following:

cmdkey J
msg_select_area

How would I call msg_select_area in a .JS? I see previous threads on calling Baja modules, but this is still unclear to me, if someone could point me in the right direction please?

Thanks & regards,
Art at fatcats dot poorcoding dot com

There is no equivalent function in JavaScript, but here is a snippet from exec/classic_shell.js that does the same thing:

case 'J':
if(!msg_area.grp_list.length)
continue main;
while(1) {
var orig_grp=bbs.curgrp;
var i=0;
var j=0;
if(msg_area.grp_list.length>1) {

if(file_exists(system.text_dir+"menu/grps.*"))
bbs.menu("grps");
else {

console.putmsg(bbs.text(CfgGrpLstHdr),P_SAVEATR);
for(i=0; i<msg_area.grp_list.length; i++) {
if(i==bbs.curgrp)

console.print('*');
else
console.print(' ');
if(i<9)
console.print(' ');
if(i<99)
console.print(' ');

console.putmsg(format(bbs.text(CfgGrpLstFmt),i+1,msg_area.grp_list[i].descripti on),P_SAVEATR);
}
}

console.mnemonics(format(bbs.text(JoinWhichGrp),bbs.curgrp+1));

j=get_next_num(msg_area.grp_list.length,false);
if(j<0)
continue main;
if(!j)
j=bbs.curgrp;
else
j--;
}
bbs.curgrp=j;

if(file_exists(system.text_dir+"menu/subs"+(bbs.curgrp+1)))
bbs.menu("subs"+(bbs.curgrp+1));
else {
console.clear();

console.putmsg(format(bbs.text(SubLstHdr), msg_area.grp_list[j].description),P_SAVEATR);
for(i=0; i<msg_area.grp_list[j].sub_list.length; i++) {
var msgbase=new MsgBase(msg_area.grp_list[j].sub_list[i].code);
if(msgbase==undefined)
continue;
if(!msgbase.open())
continue;
if(i==bbs.cursub)
console.print('*');
else
console.print(' ');
if(i<9)
console.print(' ');
if(i<99)
console.print(' ');

console.putmsg(format(bbs.text(SubLstFmt),i+1, msg_area.grp_list[j].sub_list[i].description,"",msgbase.total_msgs),P_SAVEATR);
msgbase.close();
}
}

console.mnemonics(format(bbs.text(JoinWhichSub),bbs.cursub+1));

i=get_next_num(msg_area.grp_list[j].sub_list.length,false);
if(i==-1) {
if(msg_area.grp_list.length==1) {
bbs.curgrp=orig_grp;
continue main;
}
continue;
}
if(!i)
i=bbs.cursub;
else
i--;
bbs.cursub=i;
continue main;
}

That didn't paste too well (we need a way to specify 4-space tabs in fseditor), but you can find that code in:

Hi Digital Man, thanks.

I was hoping a function existed, I have seen the one in classic_shell.js, so I suppose I'll have to work from that.

Kind regards,

Hi Digital Man, thanks.

A "bbs" function (method for the 'bbs' object) is probably a good idea (similar to the select_editor and select_shell methods) though. I'll put it on the to-do list.
