Externals weren't connecting in what sense? (The instructions could be better, but as they are right now they cover the setup of this part of it.)

That's something that I'll be tidying up soon, one way or another. Thanks for reminding me. I actually specified a 'web_directory' config value, but I'm not yet using it everywhere that I could/should be.

It's already there, but perhaps something's broken because of the different paths you're using. I'll take a peek.

There's a better separation between data and view than there was in ecweb version 3, and I've tried to break things up into components that are easier to maintain and reuse for other purposes. All of the stuff that makes this a CMS and puts your pages, message areas, files, etc. up on the screen is pretty easy to hook into. I plan on providing a few different templates (basically a combination of an XJS file and a stylesheet) which will be usable on their own, or serve as examples / starting points for others.
I followed the directions even with the copy/paste into the logon.ssjs. It seems
that ftelnet didn't even respond at all.
It sounds like you have a plan. :) Man, it looks good. I found the api files also
had the hardcoded web directory. I changed it but haven't had a chance to play with it (tomorrow is my 3rd 12hr shift this week). I'll probably find the time this weekend. :D

I'm not sure what that means - where's this logon.ssjs?

Yes, I'll be sorting things out re: locations of files, after which the various load() paths will be cleaned up (I know where they are.) It's all on my to-do list; will probably start on some of it tonight.
I figured it was all on your to-do list. :) No 12 hr shift today, so maybe I can
play tonight. 12 hr shifts are a bit rougher than they used to be. lol!
I know the feeling - having done 12 hr shifts for 10 years now, they
feel a lot longer now than they did in 2005...

It's possible and it's what I would prefer, so it's on the list. That said, not everybody likes auto-open-in-new-[tab,window] as a feature, so it may end up being a per-user setting.
I started working with webv4 again today, and got the latest version.
1. No one shows up in Who's Online, even when i comferm their is someone online even if I refresh.
2. Recent Visitors is frozen in time, it only shows visitors from nov 16, 2020 and earlier, with no change on refresshing the screen.
3. Systems Statsdo not upday automaticly, I have to do a manuel refresh by clicking on the refresh on the web browser, then it will update calls for the day and total calls, everything else stays correct.
4. Last Item, If someone leaves me mail, and I'm logged it, it doesn't show as a new message waiting, even if I refresh, but new messages works
Can you describe your update or installation process? If you were using webv4 previously, how old was the installation that you were updating from?
Where can I see this in action? I went to your site but I only see the runemaster UI.
This may be a system-wide problem for you, since this list should include logins from the terminal server as well. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting except to ask if you see any errors in your logs, particularly around when logging in via telnet/ssh or the web.

That's by design. I didn't think it was worth the overhead of updating those details in real-time since most of them wouldn't change that often. I figured it was enough if they refreshed whenever you nagivated to a new page.

Okay, that's why it isn't working. I can fix this and will try to get to it soon.
It's generally *possible* to run webv4 in a subdirectory / alongside another web interface, but it can get a bit messy. You may run into other
I tried putting it in a sub directory off of sbbs, but I could not get it to run trying everything I could think of, but I did not try it in it's on directory off of c:\ like c:\webv4 I'm thinking it's designed to run off of the sbbs directory like c:\sbbs\webv4 , so which is correct, and I'll start from scratch again, c:\webv4 or c:\sbbs\webv4. and can I still run it with the ruinmaster. Sorry for all the questions, but you know me, I'm always trying to reinvent the wheel. As always, thanks EC

I originally intended for this sort of configuration to work, but I didn't always keep it top of mind, so there are probably a bunch of little things
for recent Visitors (WEB Only, but doesn't show anything for people that logged off the bbs itself), Who's online still doesen't work for either

You may be using an older copy of exec/logon.js (or mods/logon.js) and thus aren't recording terminal server logons where the web UI can see them.
That won't start working until I fix a few things, which I'll try to do soon.

Thanks for the changes you made, works great. Just curious, was the "Who's Online" header supposed to stay hidden now, till someone actually logs in, as that is what is happening. Before it would always show, but wouldn't populate.
active_node_list = true
hide_empty_stats = true

You should see an indicator by your username if there's unread mail. By default that's a blue circle with a number in it, up in the top right corn
I haven't seen it yet when logged in, but I'll check it again and let you know in a few days. Again, Thanks

OK, I downloaded the newest version, and everything seems to be working now except I can't see the body of email messages only. I can send a email, and echo mail, and I can read echo mail, but email I can't read (No Body) header is there only. Any ideas. As always, Thanks
No idea at the moment, but I'll ponder it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Your copy of exec/load/xjs.js is out of date. I added the xjs_eval() function to it about three months ago. Getting the latest version should resolve this problem.
The script is trying to add a button to the page (Add Sender to Twitlist) when this error occurs. It only adds this button for sysop-level users, so
I have noticed that when viewing webv4, the index.xjs, sometimes, it dislpays the js language instead of the login web page, but if you refresh, it displays normaly. It's seems to be happening most if someone logs in for the first time. I notice it if I'm showing my web page to someone that has never seen it before on their computer, and also when I log in at a the company work station at work. Is this due to my setup, or is it a known thing.

Also, what does "nodelist_ibbs = true" or false do in the modopts.ini for webv4. I found the explination for everything else but that.
The raw *.xjs/*.ssjs output instead of the rendered html happens with runemsater (more frequently) as well not just webv4 .. likely an issue with the web server and not necessarily the ui

Here is the first few lines of code as you asked for. I see this issue more in Google Chrome, than in any other browser. I've just seen it a few times in edge, as that's what I use at home. Hope this helps.
Thanks. It confirms some of my suspicions and has narrowed the problem down considerably. I'll bring this up with Deuce as it's a webserver probl

Done. After updating, add a setting to ctrl/modopts.ini -> [web]:
brand_link = /
Works like a charm, thanks so much. I did notice one thing however, after the update, you can't view the files section. I don't think it's related, as it points to the correct area "http://bbs.valhallabbs.com/webv4/?page=002-files.xjs" but all you get is a blank page. I have not upgraded to 2.19, so nothing has changed on my end, and I have been keeping up with the updates on webv4.
Well, that's interesting. Someone else is having the same problem, but I am not experiencing it on my system.
I have noticed that files uploaded since the 3.19 upgrade that files received after that are not listed. I wonder if webv4 is using the <=3.18 filebase instead of the => 3.19 filebase?

When you say "keeping up with the updates on webv4", does that mean you're updating webv4 but maybe not updating the rest of your BBS at the same time?
DM recently made a change to webv4/lib/files.js which depends on a recent copy of exec/load/filebase.js. If you don't have the latest version of that latter file, this might break things for you.
