Hello all!

Because I am trying to be self-taught at this Synchronet Javascript thing..
how do I go about changing the who's online listing to reflect someone
running my mod? Are there some lines in nodedefs.js that I need to change / add?

In other words, if someone on the BBS requests who's online how can I make it display that the user is running "mymod" or something like that?

Also, is there a way to determine whether or not the sysop is available for chat within javascript?

Thanks!

If "mymod" is installed as an external progarm (in SCFG), then this should already be the case.

If not, you'd have to make some custom node listing module and run that for the global Ctrl-U key handler in SCFG->External Programs->Global Hot Keys.

Also, is there a way to determine whether or not the sysop is available for chat within javascript?

if(bbs.startup_options&BBS_OPT_SYSOP_AVAILABLE)
print("Sysop is available"):
else
print("Sysop is NOT available");

Wow! Thanks a lot for the quick reply, DM! I didn't see that one in the JS docs! Thanks again!!

DM,

How do I go about making a prompt that responds with hotkeys? I see there's a read() function. However it returns right away. Do I have to enclose it within a
loop or something? And yes. I'm obviously playing with JS on the console side of things. :)

DM,

How do I go about making a prompt that responds with hotkeys?

console.getkey()
