  • User's Email Variable Name

    From ansunent@1:103/705 to all on Tue Dec 20 21:52:58 2022
    If "system.inet_addr" gives me the @domain.com portion, then what variable name gives me the "first.last" portion?

    In the end, I want "first.last@domain.com", but for the life of me, I can't find the variable name that sbbs uses for the "first.last" portion.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    In JavaScript, the user.email property will give you the user's email address on the BBS.

    In JavaScript, the user.email property will give you the user's email address on the BBS.

    I tried that, but it was at the registration page on webv4, and after that the system has them actually use their login to, well, "log in". So, I'm assuming the system won't display their email address back to them because they're not logged in yet even though they are registered.

    If you know they're user number, you can create a new User instance and read/display the 'email' property. The user doesn't have to be logged in.

    I'm not certain how I would be able to do that unless their user number is assigned at the point that registration is successfully submitted, but I may have missed something.

    I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but if you know the user's alias or real name, it's trivial in JS to replace the spaces in their real name or alias with '.' and append '@' + system.inet_addr to the result and display it to the user.

    I'm hoping to make a message like "newuser.msg" on the web side immediately after the users submits their registration so they'll know their new email address.

    Okay, that should be easy to do with the tips I supplied above.

    Wow I know it maybe all in my mind but v320a seems faster, but then again
    that may be me.

    Only thing I see is when trying to add Synchronet games it is still
    looking for the old file format and not a ini file.

    And when jsexec update it updated: checking 3.19 file bases?
    Checking for 3.20 config files
    Checking for 320 user base

    Other then that on this build seems, fast, fast, fast.

    Thanks!

    Synchronet will by default now use larger packets when running on local networks, so it may very well *be* faster for local logins.

    Only thing I see is when trying to add Synchronet games it is still

    I think you're referring to this issue: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/473

    And when jsexec update it updated: checking 3.19 file bases?
    Checking for 3.20 config files
    Checking for 320 user base

    I'm not sure of your point on those last 3 lines.
