In echocfg, I've got several domains configured, but it looks like the nodelists for each domain has to be specified with a hard-coded name?

I was hoping that you could enter the base name and it would find the newest version of the nodelist, but it seems to fail with anything except a full 8.3 file spec.

in tickit, there's a file handler capability... for nodelists, nodelist_handler.js will extract the specified files from the archive and place
it in the nodelist directory with the specified name from the domain entry in sbbsecho.ini... in the below, i'm using the DAILYLIST instead of the NODELIST area...

sbbsecho.ini:
=============
[...]
[domain:fidonet]
Zones = 1,2,3,4,5,6
DNSSuffix = binkp.net
NodeList = ../ftn/nodelist/fidonet.txt
[...]
=============


tickit.ini:
=============
[...]
[DAILYLIST]
Dir=FDIST-DAILYLIS
Links=1:261/38,1:3634/12.73,1:123/115
Handler=tickit/nodelist_handler.js
HandlerArg={"domain":"fidonet", "match":"Z1DAILY.Z*", "nlmatch":"Z1DAILY.*"} SourceAddress=1:3634/12
AKAMatching=false
Uploader=DAILYLIST File Dist
[...]
=============

Someone could add that feature very likely, but nope, it's currently just a filepath/name.

Does the SourceAddress keyword work in tickit.ini with the tickit.js that ships with Synchronet or is that your own modification?

... Gee! How'd you ever get it to do THAT?

all three of those are available since my update to tickit was accepted and committed to the repository (Jan 11 2019)... those would be versions

exec/tickit.js 1.53
exec/tickitcfg.js 1.7
exec/load/fidocfg.js 1.36

then on the 17th there was a bug fix for tickit.js which took it to 1.54...

sourceaddress was, initially, a hack that DM did as a global override... my mods expanded that to per area in addition to the global hack... i don't know that they'd be considered hacks any more, either, since the config program can now also manilpulate them as needed globally or per area...

Excellent, I'll be able to use that. Thanks for your additions.
