• FTN nodelist parser

    From Nightfox@VERT/DIGDIST to All on Sun Aug 6 15:04:00 2017
    I have been working on some JavaScript code that can parse a FTN nodelist, in the form of a function that takes a nodelist filename and returns an array containing zone objects (each zone object would have information about the zone, and include an array of nodes on the zone and an array of regions, which in turn would contain an array of nets, which in turn contains an array of nodes. Once parsed into that data structure, I'm thinking that could be used in a JavaScript script for doing things like zone, region, net, and node lookups, FTN sysop lookups, etc.. Do any other Synchronet sysops think this might be useful? I've seen other sysops occasionally ask about FTN nodelist parsing/searching for Synchronet, but it's not something that has been discussed a whole lot.

    I use FNLScan as of now. It's abandonware but it still works. As of now it will parse 10 separate nodelists as follows:

    6) Search nodelist entries for text
    T) Toggle short/long node display mode
    X) Toggle expert mode
    H) Help on FNLScan
    Q) Quit to BBS


    Would be nice to have a Synch plugin. :)

    Yes! I'd love for SBBS to be able to do a nodelist lookup when you enter a name in the to: field.

    I was thinking of creating a script to do that. But I was thinking, it would really only work for sysops & coordinators, since those are the only people in the nodelist.. If you want to be able to email a non-sysop, you'd still need to know their FTN address.

    I mostly netmail sysops from the mail menu these days, the lack of user lookup shouldn't cause too much of a problem. If I'm netmailing a user, it's usually a netmail reply to an echomail, which pulls up either an SMTP address or netmail address. Pretty
    nifty.

    Deuce has a parse_nodelist() function in exec/load/fido.js. Might want to take a look at it.

    Yeah, a bunch of us were looking for something like this a few years ago, so he threw it togeather for us. I don't think he has fixed the user number lookup yet, but it works well for names and such. I just edited one of the js files and removed the reference to number lookup on the input field so no one would try to find anyone by bbs user number.

    The stock Synchronet email menu has 2 options, one for sending mail (for local email) and another for sending netmail. Since netmail is intended for sending email outside of the BBS, I think it's fine that it doesn't do a user number lookup.. That might not be a bug.

    It was meant to replace the stock sync email sending function, so you could

    E-Chicken is the Bomb! I appreciate all the he and other developers have put into this great systemm coming back from a ten year hiatus and seeing all these new additions was crazy, and overkill, but I'm still going through code every day just about!

    Hello Bill,

    OK... do you have multiple nodelists? I edited the mail-prompt.js
    as per the readme file but only showing the zones 1-4 from the
    fido. This is what I have...

    var nodelistPaths = [
    "c:/fd/nodelist/nodelist.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/sportnet.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/league10.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/agoranet.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/whispnet.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/TQMRadio.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/micronet.*",
    "c:/fd/nodelist/RWNLIST.*"
    ];

    Is there another way? Should this all be on one line?

    That looks fine to me.. That's how I've specified my nodelists,
    and it seems to be working for me.

    Nada over here. This is what I get...

    FTN Nodelist Viewer
    +Zone 1: North America
    +Zone 2: Eur (288)
    +Zone 3: Australia NZ PNG
    +Zone 4: America Latina

    There is no zone 5 or 6 any more. So they most likely wouldn't show up if the nodelist is read by whatever program you guys are referring to.

    Regards,
    Nick

    I know that but from what I understood, I have other zone's nodelists listed as well, therefore, they should appear right after z1-z4. (I am assuming in order of actual zone #.)

    Ah. Sorry, I misunderstood the original posts then. Does this script use any other .ini like ftn_domains.ini or anything where those zones would also need to be specified?

    Otherwise, maybe if there is no zone 5 in any of your nodelists, it skips the rest?

    Could just be not parsing any of the nodelists after the first one it reads. Unfortunately, that's out of my realm. ;)

    From my understanding the file where I added all the extra nodelists is all that is needed. There is no .ini file. The only files that are used are all .js, including one that's in the ../exec/load folder.

    I'm at a loss... for now. :)

    E-Chicken is the Bomb! I appreciate all the he and other developers have put into this great systemm coming back from a ten year hiatus and seeing all these new additions was crazy, and overkill, but I'm still going through code every day just about!

    10-year hiatus? I've been running my current Synchronet BBS for 10 years, and Synchronet has been in steady development during that time, with mods being available for it too.

    Maybe a bit longer than 10 but not by far... the last time I ran SBBS the webserver was just coming out in full force, with the Runemaster additions, etc.. not all these cool JS additions..

    Ah, I think I misunderstood.. Thought you meant Synchronet was on a 10-year hiatus, but I see you mean your BBS..
