  • Knowing groups & areas

    From Tegularius@BAUDHOUS to All on Saturday, October 01, 2005 19:30:00
    DEFAULT.SRC provides for displaying the user's current
    message and file areas in the prompt with code like
    @LIB@ and @DIR@.

    How can I access these values so that I can branch
    in Baja code? I don't see any functions or system
    variables listed in the documentation that corresponds
    to these conditions.

    I want to display a menu that is specific to the
    file library a user is currently in.

    Thanks for your help! I'm a beginner.

    DEFAULT.SRC is a Baja module. This is the JavaScript Programming message area. :-)

    That said, here's a Baja code snippet to do what you're asking:

    compare_ars sub=general
    if_true
    print "You're in the general sub-board"
    end_if

    There's actually a bug in the current Baja compiler which causes it to crash when compiling the above code. :-(

    Here's a workaround:

    compare_ars sub=general and user 0
