I was reading on SBBS web site there is a setting to add file automatically
in the BBS Config but I don't see it any where. Also what is the command to add files when you add a new dir/folder that already has files in it, but you want to add the files into SBBS data so they show?


Thanks before hand!

Re: Addfile

Hi Greg!

I was reading on SBBS web site there is a setting to add file automatically in the BBS Config but I don't see it any where. Also what is the command to add files when you add a new dir/folder that already has files in it, but you want to add the files into SBBS data so they show?

Ok, you just throw those files into their dirs and then get to a dos prompt.. Navigate to your sbbs/exec dir and type this:
addfiles * /s /n /z

There are also other tools that will work with ADDFILES..
Explicit docs on ADDFILES are found here: http://synchro.net/docs/utility_reference.html#ADDFILES

Hope this helps!

Kris

Look up information on tickit. You'll need to create a tickit.ini file

Create a .js file in your /sbbs/mods directory such as tick.js

for(var code in file_area.dir) print('[' + file_area.dir[code].name + "]\nDir="
+ code.toUpperCase() + "\n");


Then run jsexec tick > /sbbs/ctrl/tickit.ini

That's a one off thing unless you add new directories.

There's a few more steps but they should be documented on the synchro wiki.

Create a .js file in your /sbbs/mods directory such as tick.js

for(var code in file_area.dir) print('[' + file_area.dir[code].name + "]
+ code.toUpperCase() + "\n");

Then run jsexec tick > /sbbs/ctrl/tickit.ini

Yes this is a way to import incoming .tic files. I find it a little easier just to run HTick with SBBS. They work well together as well when you have the right settings for SBBS.

However I believe that he is asking about directions on how to use the addfiles executable in Synchronet to add files automatically.
