I just discovered someting interesting when I was checking out my externals on my web page. I don't know when, but it seems to be broken, and I don't know where to look to fix it. When you select an external program, and it goes to snd you to the telnet window, it reads your password instead of your name, and tries to start the new user process. Is there a way to fix this, where it will read the name and transfer you correctly to the external program. I'm sure I'm the one that broke it, but I don't know where to look to fix it. Thanks in advance for your help.
What version of Synchronet are you running?
If you're running v3.15 (or earlier) and you have USE_2ND_RLOGIN set in the [BBS] Options value in your ctrl/sbbs.ini file, try removing that.

These are the options I have enabled in SBBS.INI v3.16a
Options=XTRN_MINIMIZED | SYSOP_AVAILABLE | ALLOW_RLOGIN | GET_IDENT ExternalTermANSI=pc3 DOSemuPath=/usr/bin/dosemu.bin SSHPort=22
It sounds like the web interface has the username and password fields reversed for the purpose of RLogin and that was potentially valid for
some configurations at one time, but now the username and password
fields are fixed (cannot be reversed) for RLogin connections to Synchronet.

Sounds like I remember that at one time. Is there a particular file/s I should focus on in the web interface. I have done some modifications there, and I don't want to blanket update the web directory. For future use, does the mods directory protect me at all for the web section. I'm thinking no, but I figure I'd ask anyway. Thanks Rob for your help.

For any files that are load()ed by web server (e.g. .ssjs files), those may be overridden with sysop-modified files stored in your mods (or mods/load) directory. Otherwise, no, the mods directory is not used by the webserver.
You may need to just update the members/externals.ssjs file due to the change made on March 14 of 2014: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/web/root/members/externals.ssjs

Works like a charm, Thanks Rob
I mostly run the Nightshade Web Interface, which I to read/reply/post to Dove-Net .. I am sure the answer to this question would apply to any theme ...
I'd like to execute a system command and display the output ... I know how to
do this in PHP but not JS ... more specific, running RPI Raspbian I can, from a
terminal, run uptime and get the uptime of the OS since last reboot ... been racking my brain over it and my walnut is rattled ... any ideas?
Javascript is client side so you'd have to find some way to get the server
I have no idea what "Nightshade Web Interface" is, however, so all this may be totally wrong :)

:) I totally suck at JS ... I know how to accomplish this easily in php ie: <?php
$up = system("uptime", $retval); // $up = $retval and is stored for later use while the output of system is immediately printed to console (or webpage if called from that)
is there a JS equivalent to PHP's system() that I can store as @MYUPTIME@ type var for use in the web interface theme?

You can run PHP on your Synchronet webserver if you really want to. There's some info about that on the wiki.

In Synchronet JS we have the 'system' object, which has an 'uptime' property. In an SSJS file you could do this to write your BBS uptime to the client:
write(system.uptime);
Or:
write('My uptime: ' + system.uptime);
This is Synchronet's uptime and not the OS', if that matters to you.
The system object also has a 'popen' method that could be useful. If you're on Linux you could probably do:
var up = system.popen('uptime');
writeln('My uptime: ' + up[0]);
Or:
var up = system.popen('uptime')[0];
writeln('My uptime: ' + up);
As far as @MYUPTIME@ goes, I don't know my way around the old web templating
system enough to comment on how you would integrate any of this with it.

method (only works on *nix). Or yourattled ... any ideas?
There's the Synchronet system.popen()
could just "uptime > uptime.txt" and thenread/parse uptime.txt in your
script.digital man
I've been playing with system.open in various
locations ... trying to create a @MYUPTIME@
that can be read from the sbbs.msg so I guess
the right question yo ask is, are custom @-
codes possible and if yes where would one
define them?

The Synchronet web server can run server-side javascript.
thus the /web files with the extension .ssjs ;)
Javascript is client side so you'd have to find some way to get the server to give you the uptime. Take a look at this thread for ideas.

Important so that the server knows to execute the script locally
rather than just serve it directly to the client (as it might with a
.js or .html or whatever other extension file).
And .xjs should not be forgotten, as it lets you add inline SSJS to a
file that will be served to a client:

yup... i was mainly looking that the "ss" in "ssjs" means "server side" in the same was that "js" means "javascript" ;)
getting php working with sbbs, either, do i'll come up with another way to handle choosing a file of quotes to select a quote from to be included on my index page... each quote is separated from the next by a lone "%" character on an otherwise empty line... the php thing generated a binary index file for each file of quotes and then chose a random number between zero and the highest index number available for that file... i'll have to see if i can find the code... hopefully it wasn't lost when the other server went walkabout the day after the old BBS server left...

The whole thing could be replicated in JS,
but there are a few ways you could go about doing it.
One nice thing is that it could be made usable on the console as well
as the web side of things.
Are the quote files very large or do they grow over time?
a specific or random quote from a specific or random file... i don't have a clue how easy it would be to convert it from php to js... it has been years since i last did much of anything with php...

If you want to zip this up and post it somewhere, I can have a go at
it. (PHP stuff isn't strictly needed, but I used to do PHP and might
be able to take some hints from the original code).
