  • Weirdness...

    From Al DeRosa@1:267/157 to All on Saturday, October 16, 2021 21:08:23
    Finally got a chance to upgrade to A47, followed the upgrade docs step by step, fix the python error I got because of the directory being shown. Now when I enter into the File Base or Message base, I have a command which displays a file for the SysOp menus. It is DF sysopmsg it worked fine in A46 now it just shows ysopmsg on the screen and does not show the menu. I am sure it is something I missed in the upgrade but any ideas?? Other then that the BBS seems to be running fine..

    Thanks for any help...

    Do you use a pipe then the MCI code?

    So if the file to display is myansi.ans

    |DFmyansi

    also check your paths are correct for your theme

    Yes, use the pipe, the path is correct, I figured out a workaround, but just hit me as strange. What is happening is if you add a command to a menu in the top option Display Text I had |DFsysopmsg and just the access of 255 which would display a sysop menu after the message & file menu, now it just displays ysopmsg on the screen.. Could be a bug might be just the way it is working now. I have done it a bit differently now, I changed the hotkey to AFTER and now on the action list have it display a file sysopmsg and it is working so I guess I will leave it as that for now.. Still have to setup the cursor menus for those menus.. Thanks for the help...

    Spun up a test bed and it works fine, so it is definitely something that got wacked on my system. I will research more, probably a path issue...
