  • exec/load/user_info_promp

    From Rob Swindell (on Debian L@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/m on Saturday, January 10, 2026 15:49:00
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/6d9a31337c87c50ed185c51d
    Added Files:
    exec/load/user_info_prompts.js
    Modified Files:
    exec/logon.js newuser_prompts.js
    Log Message:
    Share user info prompts between newuser and logon (missing property) checks

    Moved the majority of the content from newuser_prompts.js to load/user_info_prompts.js so it can now be reused in logon.js (needed now that we removed the checks from logon.cpp).

    - This also fixes a couple bugs: the "Invalid or duplicate handle" log message
    logged the user's name instead of handle.
    - If the sysop had the system configured to prmopt new users for their address
    but *not* their location, they would not be prompted for their city, state.

    Modified Files:
    exec/load/user_info_prompts.js exec/logon.js newuser_prompts.js
    Log Message:
    Move terminal related prompts from newuser_prompts.js to user_info_prompts.js

    this allows us to reuse the logic in logon.js for Guest logons

    to control which terminal-related questions are asked of Guests, you can now control those with the [logon:guest_prompts] section of ctrl/modopts.ini
    and many of the same options are available that are from newuser_prompts:
    - lang
    - backspace
    - mouse
    - exascii
