    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/merge_requests/331#note_3954

    This block of code here seems to be replicating the functionality of `bbs.menu()` except with the addition of a bunch of new @-codes. Why wouldn't we just add new @-codes to sbbs instead? Having one special display file that supports a different subset @-codes from all the others, doesn't seem like a good system design.

    You don't need to use regular expressions here. These are simple text search/replace operations. Regular expressions are very heavy-weight and should only be used when necessary.

    You're re-opening, reading and parsing the configuration file on every menu display. Instead, I would do this operation upon script startup one time only.

    There's already a load library (load/cfglib.js) that is intended for the purpose of simplifying the reading of ctrl/????.ini files. It doesn't yet support reading/parsing main.ini, but that is where I would add this logic (and then use that library for this functionality).

    "own config options" that are very similar to, but not identical to, the standard @-codes used in all other Synchronet display files. That seems very confusing.

    If you were going to introduce an application-specific set of text-replacement-macros, I'd suggest using another escape scheme (not @-codes) to avoid confusion with the @-codes already supported and in use in sbbs.

    The stock chat_sec.js does not do any explicit exemption or restriction flag checking. If script knows the specific security element it wants to check for (i.e. it's not a configured string or other sysop-input), then it's faster (less code executed) to just check it directly rather than going through the ARS parsing engine.

    The prompt was in the display file too though (?).

    And rather than hard-coding, just make it a configurable string with the default being the text.dat string and then in your local modopts.ini you over-ride it with your customized BBS look string.

    The user defaults code (in `useredit.cpp`) uses the merged result of the built-in libarchive-supported archive types (defined in `supported_archive_formats` in C) *and* the compressible file types configured in SCFG->File Options (readable from `file.ini`).

    I would suggest we use cfglib.js to get the sysop-configured archive types from the file.ini file (after support is added) and then combine them with the hard-coded list.

    Only users with the 'Q' exemption can see the "Default to Quiet Mode" option. Similarly, only users with the 'V' exemption can see the "AutoLogon via IP Address" option (which you don't have represented here).

    In general, using the template scheme won't easily support options that appear/disappear depending on the current user and sysop configuration.

    I can certainly leave this out. I was thinking that with the template, if a user doesn't have a permission then I can just exclude printing that line with a condition. I may be over thinking it bit, but yeah, the dynamic options may be a little more difficult.

    Yeah because, the default prompt has "Which or Quit?" my shell doesn't offer that so I put it in the template. Like I said, I'll make things look like "standard" synchronet once I'm done getting things working on my board.

    Answer, because it says return is not a function.

    The sysop can create that file (correct name would be `bademail.msg` not `badtrash.msg`) if they want text displayed when a string is disallowed.

    So what I'm saying is: make the default use the text.dat string with a modopts.ini option to over-ride that and then over-ride that string on your system. Then it'll look how you want on your system, but would be "standard" (at least by default) everywhere else.

    I this is a better idea than even adding a bunch of new @-codes to sbbs: define a JS object in your script with some properties for the Yes/No or On/Off etc. strings you want, e.g.
    ```
    const disp_strings = { autoterm: autoterm, charset: console.charset, autohang: `on_or_off(user.settings & USER_AUTOHANG), etc. };
    ```
    and then pass that object to bbs.menu() or bbs.printfile() and in the display file use the @JS:propname@ code to display those properties where you want them in the file.

    So what am I doing wrong here?

    const disp_strings = { autohang: on_or_off(user.settings & USER_AUTOHANG), cls: on_or_off(user.settings & USE
    R_CLRSCRN) };

    I print disp_strings.autohang and disp_strings.cls and they are defined so that's good. I guess I'm now using bbs.menu correctly?

    I pared the file down just for testing and it doesn't display anything at all.

    The `null` argument there is an object, so it would be taken as the scope argument. Remove that.

    According to jsobj

    bbs.menu(base_filename [,mode=P_NONE] [,object scope])

    So I figure the 2nd parameter is the mode. Have I been reading these wrong? I actually tried putting P_NONE but no change.

    If I were writing this script, I would first write it so that it emulates the current hard-coded behavior using separate (sometimes conditional) print statements, using the text.dat strings, and make the custom "template" or display file an optional feature (which I'd probably add afterwards).

    `return;` only works from within a function. It appears this code is not within a function, so that's why the error. `exit()` would be fine in that case.

    I do plan to add much or all of the @-codes you suggested still though, the script just won't have as much control over the display (e.g. "On" or "Off" versus "Yes" or "No") without modifying the text.dat strings at run-time.

    For the sake of getting this pushed out, I'll remove the template option for now, instead pointing to users to use replace_text or their own text.dat file. I may look at adding templating later once I've experimented a bit.

    Have now accounted for the various I,D,W,M,and E options and I think I have added the security around them properly.

    Not sure if I've done it right, but I went with taking the array and adding from file.ini compressor: if the lower case version of extension isn't present, otherwise it would show zip and ZIP which I'm not sure we'd want, it looks odd.

    That doesn't look right. if 'i' is 0, then you don't want to use array index i-1. I think the `-1` here just needs to be removed.

    So, you'd get both `text/bademail.msg` displayed to the user (if it exists) and this new string. Probably best to just go back to using `system.trashcan()` here, but I also don't like adding a hard-coded string that can't be easily localized (for other languages) or customized by the sysop. Consider making this overridable via modopts.ini

    It looks like useredit.cpp doesn't check for entries in email.can so maybe I should remove that until someone requests it? As you said in an earlier note, I should be trying to replicate what is already available and not add new features.

    If the feature is added, then we should add a new line to text.dat to accommodate a new "Invalid email" string. For now, I'm removing and we can add back later.

    If I set it back to -1 then 1 = zip, 2=7z, 3=tgz and 4=test, CTRL-C leaves it unchanged. The only issue is if you press enter, it doesn't return the right value. I'll look into that.

    The use of whitespace is inconsistent in this script. I suggest choosing a style (for this script) and sticking to it. Based on other examples in this file, this line should have been written:
    `useron.settings |= USER_RIP;`

    Ditto. You're either putting spaces around operators, or you aren't. But sometimes do and sometimes not (in a brand new script) isn't good.

    When you see inconsistencies in other source/scripts, it's usually because they've been around a long time and styles have changes or different contributors have contributed with different preferences. With a brand new script, that shouldn't be the case.

    Excessive parenthesis:
    `if(!useron.compare_ars(file_cfg.protocol[code].ars) || file_cfg.protocol[code].dlcmd.length === 0)`

    I don't understand the creation/use of this additional shells[] array. main_cfg.shell is already an array. And don't appear to ever use the contents of the array after, just its length.

    Fixed.

    I think the former based on the C++ code. Not that I'm a C++ coder...

    I'm used to perl which pretty much wants parenthesis around everything.

    I still can't get TYPE=ANSI. If you select No for auto detect and then select no for all the options you'll get

    [T] Terminal Mode : US-ASCII / DUMB (mono) (mouse)

    Now, go through and select Yes for auto detect, no for iCE colors, yes for mouse reporting, yes for IBM support

    [T] Terminal Mode : Auto CP437 / DUMB (color) (mouse)

    I'm still getting DUMB as the terminal type.
