  • JavaScript Return to Menu

    From Chad Adams@VERT/CYBERNET to All on Tue Nov 3 09:09:57 2015
    Does anyone know the JS command to return to a menu (not just display it)?

    On my logout screen which is JS, I want a Return To BBS listing where a user can return back to the Main Menu.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely,
    Chad Adams

    That really depends on how your JavaScript command shell is implemented, and without seeing yours, it will be really hard to give you an answer.. Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Return To BBS listing"?

    In general, you would need to add some code to your JS to prompt the user to confirm whether they really want to log off, and if not, then go back to your main menu somehow (again, without seeing your JS command shell, we can't tell you specifically how to do what you want).

    Synchronet doesn't have a built-in function to go to a particularl menu, because such functionality is highly dependent on the command shell you're using, and each command shell can be implemented completely different from each other. Synchronet does have some JavaScript functions to display an ANSI/ASC representing your menu, but based on your previous message, it sounds like that's not what you want. You're going to have to examine the code of your command shell and change some of its implemented logic to do what you want.

    Also, it's helpful to quote the message you're replying to so that people (including the person you're replying to) can follow the conversation more easily.
