  • bbs list functionality?

    From HopeFaithless@1:103/705 to All on Thursday, December 11, 2025 18:35:49
    is there a bbslist javascript xtrn app?
    i see a sbbslist.js, but it just dumps a version and quits :(

    come to think of it, is there a repo of js 'doors'?

    sorry for being a synchronet newb

    You would be well served by spending some time browsing around on the Synchronet Wiki...

    https://wiki.synchro.net/

    Most questions you may have will have an answer on there. There is a
    search function available.

    sbbslist.js is what I (and a lot of other Synchronet sysops) use, and it works fine for me..

    There are some JS doors in the Synchronet repository, yes.

    That is the "bbslist xtrn app" for Synchronet. In fact, it comes pre-installed as the "Synchronet BBS List" external program (in the "main" external program section).

    If it just dumps a version and quits, then I suspect you're running it with jsexec and not *from* the BBS. sbbslist.js can be run from JSexec, but not as an interactive/door mode but rather for other operations on the list file. See https://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbslist#command-line for details.

    Most of the Synchronet JS doors that are actively supported are already included in the "xtrn" directory of your Synchronet installation and can be easily added to your configuration using the xtrn-setup script (which is also pre-installed/configured in the "operator" external program section).

    As for Git repo of these (and more) JS doors, yes, they're here: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/tree/master/xtrn
