I couldn't figure out how to hide the sysop from Talisman's built-in Last
10 Users script, so I wrote one! More of an exercise to brush up on my luascript, but here it is in case anyone wants to test it...

Looks nice!

I think you should be able to set yourself as "invisible" in the
seclevel.toml (I use user level 99 for sysop, and have that set as
invisible)

Thanks!!

I'm using level 100 for sysop and set to invisible, but the Last 10 always shows my login... I'll try it again. Was pretty fun to spin up lua, but
it's not really different than the built-in one, other than using
"lifetime stats" as I'm not using the bbs_get_calllog_x() function...

That's really strange. Probably a dumb question, but did you set your
sysop user to that sec level wit toolbelt? I know it will display your
user that logged in prior to being invisible, but setting your sec level
to an invisible one should stop it happening again, i don't use the built
in last 10 either, might be something I need to look at.

I use both the built in one and the ibbs one. I can confirm I'm not
shown in either. (I have a script I run manually to add myself to the
IBBS list)

Yeah, I used toolbelt to set seclevel. I think back when i first started
using Tailsman you had said it didn't hide the sysop for some reason, but
I could be mistaken...

Would be cool if bbs_get_calllog_x() also returned Location, Date (timeago
if it was the same day). That would simplify customizing with lua, since
it's pretty nice to be able to control the format. Like the way you built
ILC or IBOL with luascript.

I'm using "Lifetime stats" because it would require me to do some sqlite
stuff in order to extract per-call activities, which requires luarocks
mods, etc. and last time I went down that rabbit hole I regretted it, ha.

Cheers!

OK, so I thought I used toolbelt to change seclevel, but just popped open
the user.dat database and it was set to 10, lol. I must have not actually upgraded my sysop account. Well, now I've got an alternate Last 10 screen
to mix things up!! Ha...

I'll have to look at that, I've been working on noddy yesterday and
today..

For those who don't know noddy was a node js web frontend for talisman. I
wrote it a couple of years ago, it displayed last 10, oneliners and that
was about it.

I've now got user logins happening and have started with email, you can currently read your email via the web. Small start.

Once I've got that working I'll work on file bases, mostly because I'm
not looking forward to figuring out how to implement Squish message bases
in nodejs.

Noddy is completely seperate from talisman, though it uses the data from
the BBS obviously, so you don't need it, but my hope is to make it as featureful as Magicka's web interface was.

Yes it runs on Windows too :)

I'll have to check it, but I wondered if it was because you were using
level 100 instead of 99, i've never tried a security level with higher
than 99 and thought maybe toolbelt is only reading the first two digits,
though it shouldn't..

While I don't envy you that at all, it would be cool. I do have another question though, were you not working on another BBS that used SQL for
the message bases? Or am I thinking of someone else? Does anyone use
talisman BECAUSE it uses squish?

the BBS obviously, so you don't need it, but my hope is to make it as featureful as Magicka's web interface was.

Very cool!

Nice! I'll install and test it when you release it.

That's pretty cool! I remember running Noddy when you first started
working on it, and i think it had templates to make it easy to customize?
A Web front-end with messages would be good way to be able to read on the
go, mobile-wise...

I liked the Magicka interface (on the version I am still
running here) so much that I thought about trying to port the interface
over to my Synchronet system. I believe that is well beyond my
capabilities, though. :D

I did add SQL bases to magicka, but it didn't really work out. Titan has
sql message bases too. I chose squish because originally Talisman didn't
have a tosser and mailer and it fit in with HPT.

Howdy,

That might be me.

Clrghouz stores mail, node and network details in PostgreSQL.

If apam extends his http frontend, in theory, he can receive and post messages via http to clrghouz. ;)

I did start work on creating a BBS to clrghouz - but I've adapted a viewdata type interface (but with ANSI). May never be finished, but I'll dabble at it as I get motivated...

I faintly remember Magicka getting them. Titan was what I was thinking.

Good reason. I mean it works perfectly. One doesn't need generic
formats because Talisman has it all built in. ie: using the index reader
now. Just like Golded. :)

I actually rememeberd about clrghouz. LOL When you post updates about it
I tend to read them. Always interested in anything modern. Probably why
I left ezycom and started running software Apam writes. If a bug /
feature is found / requested there is a chance it will be added. ;)
