• IBOL Script v0.03

    From TALIADON@21:3/138 to All on Friday, July 01, 2022 12:38:34
    Hi All,

    Having now installed the InterBBS oneliner script (v0.03) onto my Linux A47 setup, everything appears to be working except the "View All" option: once selected, the system pauses for a short while (whilst it's retrieving the data I assume) and then returns to the main menu once again.

    I've looked through the .mpy script, and the problematic line appears to be:

    bbs.menucmd("GV","ibol;x;y;"+postfile+";END")

    As I know nothing about python, other than you should never sleep with one in your bed, I would be very grateful for any advice regarding this issue.

    bbs.menucmd("GV","ibol;x;y;"+postfile+";END")

    Not to worry: I figured it out after reading the "whatsnew.txt" for A47.

    For those who find themselves in the same boat, the "GV" menu command has a different format in A47.

    The above line should read something along the lines of:

    bbs.menucmd("GV","ibol;"+postfile+" /END")

    Also note that an updated "ibol.ans" template and a new "ibol.ini" file need to be placed in the mystic "text" directory - these need to be in line with A47's "ansiview.ans" and "ansiview.ini" files, respectively.

    There may already be another version of this script out there somewhere, but this should get it working if you're stuck with a pre-A47 version.
