  • The COMment to sysop command

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757.1 to All on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 03:38:06
    Hello All,

    When I use the Comment to sysop command (COM) I get a menu like this..

    <B> The System Operator
    <F> FAQ

    Select the person you want to comment:

    When I select B, nothing happens and when I select F the hello file is shown from the menus directory.

    Can someone tell me how to configure that command?

    Hi Alan,

    Sorry for the delay... first... life gets crazy.. and second... I had to remember how the heck I got it to work Lol...

    Ok, when you search for "comments" in sysop.txt, you see this:
    ===cut here===
    G l o b a l : C o n f e r e n c e s : P o s t _______________________________________________________________________________

    The number of the conference you want to use as your post conference. Messages entered with the 'COMment' command are stored here. This should NOT be your NetMail area.
    ===

    So I knew I could add it to the conf. section... so I did:

    |MI------------ X00 News [conf. 00000]
    |MI--P--------- X00 Post Office [conf. 00001]
    |-I------------ X00 Main Board [conf. 00002]
    |----P---F----- X00 NETMAIL [conf. 00003]

    I added Post Office as conf #1, and X'd these choices: [X] Must for all
    [X] Invite users
    [X] Post conf.

    Note: the Post Office is the only area I have here that has [X] Post conf.

    Hope this helps :) Merry Christmas :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    No worries.. I know how it can be.. :)

    Hope this helps :)

    AAMOF, I have been working on this tonight and have it configured now I think.

    Yep, the comment messages will go to the post conference. Comment receivers are
    configured in the alias.bbb file with the COM_?: lines and the text displayed when someone does the COM command can be adjusted in the /bbbs/menus/precom.* files. I just have a precom.gr file here.

    Merry Christmas :)

    Same to you and Happy New Year.. :)
