• Adding menu items

    From Tiny@21:1/130.22 to all on Mon Nov 30 08:39:36 2020
    Hello,

    Whenever I attempt to add a new menu item that menu no longer loads.
    I copy and pasted one (Feedback) from the main menu to the doors menu and
    now the doors menu doesn't load.

    Am I missing a step ie: compiling the menu file or something?

    Nope, not sure what's going on there. Want to email it to me so I can
    debug?

    Thanks

    No compiling required; there IS *one* line that is menu specific, the first one:

    [menu]
    gfile = "doors"

    dunno if having two with the same line (copy & paste) would cause an issue other than the wrong menu displaying, tho.. I feel like TALISMAN only calls one at a time and....

    Sent a different one. The feedback was my mistake had pasted it in the
    wrong menu. LOL

    Turns out on windows one needs to type paths with a \\ that was the
    problem. Got Forhonour working and GD will display the title before
    dumping the user back to the BBS. LOL Having fun trying to re create
    issues that are not typo's.

    Hi paulie420 or All

    I would like help with setting up bbslist in Talisman windows and rasberry pi

    in Windows 10 these are my settings ie

    Windows menus.toml

    [[menuitem]]
    command = "RUNDOOR"
    data = "C:\\bbs\\talisman\\doors\\bbslist\\bbslist.bat"
    hotkey = "1"

    batfile

    @echo off
    C:
    cd \bbs\Talisman\doors\bbslist
    bbslist.exe -D C:\bbs\Talisman\temp\%1\door32.sys -SOCKET %2

    it works in a way but after adding the bbs into menu and press
    T telnet it says connected but doesn't appear of if does it to slow
    and cannot type in login so a setting cannot be right

    extra in readme

    Add this command line as a chain:

    C:\path\to\batchfile.bat %C %H
    don't know what to do with this ??

    Rasberry pi unix I have the bbs and message and file area working
    okay and I am not good at unix still learning but just cannot
    get it it to appear at all these are my setting I now it not right
    but hope you can show me hows it done unix extensions etc win .bat
    unix .sh or none

    [[menuitem]]
    command = "RUNDOOR"
    data = "//home//ian//talisman//doors//bbslist//bbslist"
    hotkey = "1"

    #!/bin/bash
    cd //home//ian//Talisman//doors//BBSList
    ./BBSList.linux.x86_64 -D $1

    extra

    Add this command line as a chain:
    again unsure what to do with the extras

    Thank you for you help with this
