    Hiya echicken...

    I'm playing with ftnnv.js to see what I can do with it. Right now it's only seeing the Fido nodelist.* file which I am assuming is possible by the following:

    // The paths to your nodelists
    var nodelistPaths = [
    "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/nodelist.*"
    ];

    My question is, how do you add more nodelists from different FTN networks. I tried adding another: '/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/sportnet.*" before the closing ] but
    I am getting this error:

    !JavaScript c:\sbbs\xtrn\ftnnv\ftnnv.js line 10: SyntaxError: missing ]
    after e lement list

    !ERROR compiling c:\sbbs\xtrn\ftnnv\ftnnv.js

    The sysop has been notified.


    Can it be as simple as just adding sportnet.* separated by a comma on that
    one line?

    Appreciate the help...

    Thanks..

    Be sure not to mix up your double and single quotes. That should be '/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/sportnet.*' or "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/sportnet.*".

    nodelistPaths is an array of strings. Elements in the array should be separated from each other by commas, and all elements should be enclosed within
    the square brackets, eg:

    var nodelistPaths = [
    "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/nodelist.*",
    "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/sportnet.*"
    ];

    Keeping it on one line isn't important, though.

    I assume that will work, but I no longer have a copy of that script on hand. I'll write a new version soon that uses the nodelist parser Deuce provided, and

    uses a config file to make things like this easier.

    And on that note, if you or anyone have a wishlist for things they would want to see in a nodelist browser, please let me know.

    OK.. I saw my error and it the explaination was right in the readme file. My eyes are getting old.. lol!

    var nodelistPaths = [
    "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/nodelist.*",
    "/sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv/sportnet.*"
    ];

    OK.. I'm anal about neatness though. Each nodelist has it's own line. :)

    That it did.

    One thing I did see that it didn't like looking outside it's own folder for the nodelists. I put a normal path to replace the /sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv and although it compiled.... it didn't show a damn thing. I had to copy over all the nodelists into the /sbbs/xtrn/ftnnv folder.

    I'm sure I'll think of things as that day gets closer.

    Thanks again...
