Hey

I've been working on a new file center application to manage filebases in Magicka.

It still needs to look better, but so far it can, approve / unapprove
files, delete files, scan for new files and move files between bases.

It's still not finished yet, but is usable.

To build it, you will need the latest v0.10-alpha checked out, then type
make in the MagickaBBS/utils/filecenter directory.

To run it, change to the MagickaBBS/utils/filecenter directory and type:

./filecenter -c ../../config/bbs.ini

Select the directory then sub directory you want to work with, it will
list all files in the sub and their status.

Then, the following key presses work:

t - toggle approved/unapproved on selected file a - approve all files in
sub u - unapprove all files in sub d - delete file from sub (and disk) m
- move file between bases s - scan for files in the bases upload folder
that are not in the base.

Scanning will check for file_id.diz descriptions in archives that it
recognizes (whatever you have set up in archivers.ini)

What is the best way to set up Magicka. I have a running point copy but it's dated... so wondering if it best to run a fresh script to update it or ??

Well I think from memory you setup yours with that raspberry pi script I
made a while back? If so, it would be easier to start over.

It's much easier to get a basic install up and running than it used to
be. If you're running raspbian stretch or later it has all the
prerequisites in the repository, if you're running jessie still, you will
need a more recent version of libmicrohttpd (if you want the webserver).

To get a most basic setup on a pi, first make sure you have the
prerequisits:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libsqlite3-dev libreadline-dev git libssl-dev libssh-dev libncurses5-dev libmicrohttpd-dev
libdbd-sqlite3-perl sed

Then move to your user's home directory and run:

git clone https://github.com/MagickaBBS/MagickaBBS

git checkout v0.10-alpha

make www

./setup.sh

That should be all you need to do to get a basic install of v0.10-alpha
ready to run.

To get more info on configuring things, check out:

If it dosen't help or is confusing as always feel free to message me,
although I am always happy to help regardless it would be helpful to know
where the docs could use improvement ;P

Very cool.

Feature request? In the space beside the file could you display the
description and possibly the file date?

Scanning will check for file_id.diz descriptions in archives that it recognizes (whatever you have set up in archivers.ini)

Works pretty good so far!

Yep, I'm still thinking how to do this as I'd like it to be possible to
edit the description as well.

Also plan to have a window with a list of commands you can use.

Ohhhh now that would be amazing. Ezycom has that but back then people
spent way to much time on a BBS thinking they could sell it for money. :)

Also plan to have a window with a list of commands you can use.

Even a popup window if you hit F1 or something would be fine.

I agree that would be nice!

You need to change into the MagickaBBS directory before running the
checkout command.
