  • couple more @ code requests?

    From Finglonger@VERT/SILENT to digital man on Monday, April 28, 2025 19:14:20
    Hello, was trying to do a few things in the menus and have maybe a couple requests for future versions?

    I'm trying to add the following into a menu:

    total messages in area: @MSGS@
    msgs numbered: @SMB_LOW_MSG@ to @SMB_HIGH_MSG@
    new msgs in area: @SMB_NEW_MSG@

    Maybe these exist and I'm just missing them in the docs?

    Also a similar "new files in area" for file areas?

    Thanks!

    Hello, was trying to do a few things in the menus and have maybe a couple requests for future versions?

    I'm trying to add the following into a menu:

    total messages in area: @msgs@

    The MSGS @-code is already supported (in v3.20e and later).

    msgs numbered: @SMB_LOW_MSG@ to @SMB_HIGH_MSG@
    new msgs in area: @SMB_NEW_MSG@

    The SMB_* @-codes only work when a message base is *open* (e.g. for reading). What is the context in which you want to use these @-codes?

    Maybe these exist and I'm just missing them in the docs?

    Also a similar "new files in area" for file areas?

    It takes time to open a message or file base and determine how many are new, so expect a visible delay when using such @-codes if/when added.

    BTW, feature requests should be submitted here: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues
