  • Echomail hobbynet/fsxnet

    From Amessyroom@1:103/705 to All on Sat Jun 22 12:11:13 2024
    Anybody have step by step or screen shots of how to configure echomail? I've attempted to use the wiki. I think I may be missing area.bbs but not sure how to build it. I have put the nodelist and echolist in the configuration.

    I have been given node number for hobby net and waiting for fsxnet.

    There's a setup script that comes with Synchronet: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet

    I was able to figure out how to create the areas.bbs file and that finally allowed me to create the sub-boards. Had to try a few times :-)

    Also had to install binkit.js; all information found in wiki. Guess I just had to read it more than once.

    When I installed binkit. It indicated timed events were configured. Where in the configuration, can I see this to understand when it will poll ?

    So have been able to pull in messages from HobbyNet, will have to give a bit to see if my test/into posts have been published next.

    I would highly recommend that you open up SCFG and go through *ALL* of the options/settings there. You haven't already done that? If for no other reason, it's how you learn what's there and available. I think it will be fairly obvious where the Timed Events are configured, if you do that.

    Normally, you create the sub-boards in SCFG *first* and the init-fidonet.js script (described here: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet) does that for you by importing an echolist from your hub, automatically. And then SBBSecho is configured by default with AutoAddSubs=true, so no areas.bbs file is needed.

    Also had to install binkit.js; all information found in wiki. Guess I just had to read it more than once.

    init-fidonet.js also automatically installs binkit.js.

    When I installed binkit. It indicated timed events were configured. Where in the configuration, can I see this to understand when it will poll ?

    Cool. Seems you're doing in the hard way though. :-)

    Yes. I did. Hopefully can use the script for future adds.

    Will you PLEASE learn how to quote some of the message that you are
    replying to?

    When you don't do that, it's difficult for anyone to follow the "flow"
    of the conversation, as there's no context shown for what you're saying.
