• webv4

    From DesotoFireflite@VERT/VALHALLA to echicken on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 16:22:35
    I started working with webv4 again today, and got the latest version. Works great except for a few issues on the sidebar. everything else seems to be great. I listed the problems below. I'm running sbbs 3.18 on win 10. as always, thanks.

    1. No one shows up in Who's Online, even when i comferm their is someone online even if I refresh.

    2. Recent Visitors is frozen in time, it only shows visitors from nov 16, 2020 and earlier, with no change on refresshing the screen.

    3. Systems Statsdo not upday automaticly, I have to do a manuel refresh by clicking on the refresh on the web browser, then it will update calls for the day and total calls, everything else stays correct.

    4. Last Item, If someone leaves me mail, and I'm logged it, it doesn't show as a new message waiting, even if I refresh, but new messages works ok in the forums.

    I started working with webv4 again today, and got the latest version.

    Can you describe your update or installation process? If you were using webv4 previously, how old was the installation that you were updating from?

    1. No one shows up in Who's Online, even when i comferm their is someone online even if I refresh.

    Where can I see this in action? I went to your site but I only see the runemaster UI.

    webv4 respects the 'quiet' flag for terminal logons. Are you certain that the online user is supposed to be visible?

    2. Recent Visitors is frozen in time, it only shows visitors from nov 16, 2020 and earlier, with no change on refresshing the screen.

    This may be a system-wide problem for you, since this list should include logins from the terminal server as well. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting except to ask if you see any errors in your logs, particularly around when logging in via telnet/ssh or the web.

    3. Systems Statsdo not upday automaticly, I have to do a manuel refresh by clicking on the refresh on the web browser, then it will update calls for the day and total calls, everything else stays correct.

    That's by design. I didn't think it was worth the overhead of updating those details in real-time since most of them wouldn't change that often. I figured it was enough if they refreshed whenever you nagivated to a new page.

    It'd be easy to implement this if people want it; it's just a little more bloat so I didn't do it straight away.

    4. Last Item, If someone leaves me mail, and I'm logged it, it doesn't show as a new message waiting, even if I refresh, but new messages works

    The same mechanism that pushes "Who's Online" updates would deliver an unread mail notification among other things. It's possble that the same problem is causing both of these. I'd probably need to see your site or see any relevant errors from your logs to say more.

    I was using web3 before, but I've been using ruinmaster since you stopped the code on multiple bbs logins, since I run 3 bbs's, I needed to telnet to each one for the users. I figured a work around however, from my ruinmaster home page index, which I made strictly html, because I run a online store from it also. I'm using web4 from the root of the ruinmaster, as the home page for my sync bbs. /sbbs/web/root/webv4/root/index.xjs, and Like I say, everything works fine, except for the sidebar. in my modopts.ini I have the following:

    [web]
    ; echicken's web interface v4
    guest=Guest
    timeout=43200
    inactivity=900
    user_registration=true
    maximum_telegram_length=800
    web_directory=../web/root/webv4
    ftelnet=true
    ftelnet_splash=../text/synch.ans
    keyboard_navigation=false
    vote_functions=true
    refresh_interval=60000
    xtrn_blacklist=scfg,oneliner
    layout_sidebar_off=false
    layout_sidebar_left=false
    layout_full_width=false
    forum_extended_ascii=false
    max_messages=0
    nodelist_ibbs = true

    Where can I see this in action? I went to your site but I only see the runemaster UI.

    Click on the "test - Do Not use" on the left nav

    This may be a system-wide problem for you, since this list should include logins from the terminal server as well. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting except to ask if you see any errors in your logs, particularly around when logging in via telnet/ssh or the web.

    I'm uploading a http-log.zip to you bbs from yesterday, which should help, at least I hope so.

    Continuation from last message, hit save by mistake :(

    3. Systems Statsdo not upday automaticly, I have to do a manuel
    refresh by clicking on the refresh on the web browser, then it will
    update calls for the day and total calls, everything else stays
    correct.

    That's by design. I didn't think it was worth the overhead of updating those details in real-time since most of them wouldn't change that often. I figured it was enough if they refreshed whenever you nagivated to a new page.

    Personally, I like the real time option

    online store from it also. I'm using web4 from the root of the ruinmaster, as the home page for my sync bbs. /sbbs/web/root/webv4/root/index.xjs, and

    Okay, that's why it isn't working. I can fix this and will try to get to it soon.

    It's generally *possible* to run webv4 in a subdirectory / alongside another web interface, but it can get a bit messy. You may run into other problems that will need fixing. I'll think about improving support for this kind of setup.

    I tried putting it in a sub directory off of sbbs, but I could not get it to run trying everything I could think of, but I did not try it in it's on directory off of c:\ like c:\webv4 I'm thinking it's designed to run off of the sbbs directory like c:\sbbs\webv4 , so which is correct, and I'll start from scratch again, c:\webv4 or c:\sbbs\webv4. and can I still run it with the ruinmaster. Sorry for all the questions, but you know me, I'm always trying to reinvent the wheel. As always, thanks EC

    By default it's all in a webv4/ directory at the top of your sbbs install, but it doesn't have to be.

    You can move the contents of webv4/root/ to some other location within the document root of your Synchronet webserver. (This is RootDirectory from sbbs.ini.) Clients are meant to be able to access these files directly.

    You can put everything else from webv4/ (components, lib, mods, pages, sidebar) wherever you want, but you need to set the web_directory value in ctrl/modopts.ini -> [web] to point to their location. Clients are not meant to be able to access these files directly, and they shouldn't be inside your webserver's document root.

    So for example you could have:

    /sbbs/webv4 <-- keep components/, lib/, pages/, sidebar/ in here /sbbs/web/root/webv4 <-- move webv4/root/* into here
    ctrl/modopts.ini -> [web] -> web_directory = /sbbs/webv4
    ctrl/sbbs.ini -> [Web] -> RootDirectory = /sbbs/web/root
    webv4 is accessible at https://your.site/webv4

    I originally intended for this sort of configuration to work, but I didn't always keep it top of mind, so there are probably a bunch of little things that need to be fixed in order to make this work properly. We can pick away at those and get it all sorted out eventually.

    OK, that was the ticket I was looking for, The Sidebar has started to work for recent Visitors (WEB Only, but doesn't show anything for people that logged off the bbs itself), Who's online still doesen't work for either online or web users even with refresh. I do feel we made lot's of progress with this recent configuration, Thanks so much.

    You may be using an older copy of exec/logon.js (or mods/logon.js) and thus aren't recording terminal server logons where the web UI can see them.

    Thanks for the changes you made, works great. Just curious, was the "Who's Online" header supposed to stay hidden now, till someone actually logs in, as that is what is happening. Before it would always show, but wouldn't populate.

    Thanks for the quick changes. Now, I'm going to get my colors right with the custom.css, and let the public see it.

    Yep, by default the "Who's Online" list only appears if somebody is online, and only shows nodes that are currently in use. There's a setting for this in ctrl/modopts.ini -> [web]:

    active_node_list = true

    If you set that to false, the list will always show up, and it will show all of your nodes.

    There's an unrelated but spiritually similar setting:

    hide_empty_stats = true

    By default, zero-value stats will be omitted from the System Info widget so that you're not advertising the fact that you've had no calls today, you have no files, no messages, etc.

    You should see an indicator by your username if there's unread mail. By default that's a blue circle with a number in it, up in the top right corner.

    Prior to a recent bugfix, it probably wouldn't have worked on your system (for the same reason that "Who's Online" wasn't working), but I expect that it will work now.

    If you run into a situation where you *know* that there is unread mail, but you're not seeing the indicator on the web, let me know.

    Ok, spent some time with it this afternoon, and I used a test users account on the bbs and left several messages to me. When I went to the web, and signed in, it flashed a 1 inch x 3 inxh window at the top of the screen saying it was a telagram, and I had one message. I purposely didn't read the messages, to see if I would see the blue mail waiting symbol by my name, and I never did see it. I logged back into the bbs using the test user account, and left another message to me, and still no mail waiting flag

    Now, it get interesting, I went to the email on the web, and It showed the messages, but only to me, and the subject, no body, even If I clicked on the message, still no body. Now, I tried to send a message to the test user, and It would not let me send the message. It let me type it, but when I hit the send message button, I got a small rounded symbol with a slash throught it, and the send button grayed out.

    Now, even more interesting, I can't send a message in any of the echos, or reply to any of the messages in the echos, but I can at least see the body of the echo message. When I try to send or reply to an ech message, it does the same thing as it did in the email message. Bear in mind, all is working flawlessly on the bbs itself

    Sorry to inform you of these mail issues, and cause you more grief, but I never really tested the mail feature till I got the fixes back for the other issue. Hopefully it's something simple. I still have the old ruinmaster up till we zero in on these issues, but if you want to see for yourself, Hit the "test-do not use button on the left side of the main page. Just for grins and giggles, I tried to send mail on the ruinmaster, and It's working as well as sending, so I'm sure there is something we missed it the way I'm running web4 which we discussed in an earlier message. As always, thanks.

    Your copy of webv4/lib/request.js is either missing or is not up to date. This is preventing you from posting new messages from the web (including replies).

    There are a few other errors suggesting that your webv4 installation is not entirely up to date. It'd be good to deal with that first and then see which errors persist.

    Now, even more interesting, I can't send a message in any of the
    echos, or reply to any of the messages in the echos, but I can at
    least see the body

    Your copy of webv4/lib/request.js is either missing or is not up to date. This is preventing you from posting new messages from the web (including replies).

    There are a few other errors suggesting that your webv4 installation is not entirely up to date. It'd be good to deal with that first and then see

    OK, I'll deal with that this afternoon after work, and get back to you. Thanks for the quick response.

    echicken,

    Any interest in coordinating/collaborating on this?

    I'm starting API interfaces for an spa focused web ui. Are there any libraries/modules you would suggest I look at for some of this based on
    what you've done, I know some parts of webv4 are using APIs, and a lot
    is just inline. I'd prefer to keep what I'm doing as compatible as
    reasonable with what you've done so far, specifically session/auth and
    the modopts.ini in particular.

    Planning on having the api endpoints effectively be /sapi/*.ssjs in a
    separate directory, so as not to conflict with what you're working on,
    but wouldn't mind having it useful to both. I'm planning on starting
    with the newuser options, and user creation api first. Not sure about integrating some similar behaviors to the first user creation via the bbs/terminal interface.

    (note: replied on a webv4 message so the "to" would be set via nntp)

    I'm starting API interfaces for an spa focused web ui. Are there any libraries/modules you would suggest I look at for some of this based on

    Anything useful and reusable would be in webv4/lib/, which is a lot of stuff. Most inline server-side code is very much tied to the view and won't be useful. If it belongs in a library I usually put it in one unless I'm being very lazy.

    is just inline. I'd prefer to keep what I'm doing as compatible as reasonable with what you've done so far, specifically session/auth and the modopts.ini in particular.

    Some of the settings in modopts.ini may be useful and interchangeable. The session store is pretty simple and is just an ini file under data/user/#.web.

    Authentication is not well implemented in webv4 and I plan on replacing it soon. I would not pursue compatibility with that at the moment.

    I wouldn't worry too much about compatibility unless you plan on integrating with webv4 somehow. Although I will maintain, enhance, and support webv4 indefinitely, I don't see any big changes or new features coming anytime soon. I have another project underway which is similar to yours but probably has a few different goals - and I'm not giving much thought to webv4 compatibility when I work on it.

    I have no idea if this helps, but this is the error I get when I try to read email someone sends me, and I click on it to read the body. I tried this with the test user, and no error appears, this is just with me. It seems I'm the only one this is affecting and I'm the only one that can't see the body of emails. This is the only error I am seeing. As always, Thanks.

    I like the recent changes you made in the last few days to web 4, thanks for fixing the dark mode to default on,

    I have noticed that when viewing webv4, the index.xjs, sometimes, it dislpays the js language instead of the login web page, but if you refresh, it displays normaly. It's seems to be happening most if someone logs in for the first time. I notice it if I'm showing my web page to someone that has never seen it before on their computer, and also when I log in at a the company work station at work. Is this due to my setup, or is it a known thing.

    Also, what does "nodelist_ibbs = true" or false do in the modopts.ini for webv4. I found the explination for everything else but that.

    As always, thanks for all your hard work.

    is it a known thing.

    I see this once in a while, but not often.

    If you want to share the first few lines of JS garbage that show up in your browser, I'd be interested to see them. I'll keep an eye out for it myself, but it sounds like you're encountering it more often.

    I'm not 100% sure, but it's unlikely to be a webv4 problem. Seems like the server is sending the contents of the script instead of executing it - so my code isn't even getting the chance to screw things up for you.

    Also, what does "nodelist_ibbs = true" or false do in the modopts.ini for webv4. I found the explination for everything else but that.

    This setting doesn't do anything at the moment; it's left over from an interbbs "who's online"/telegram thing that was badly implemented.

    I do want to revisit this feature, but it'll take a bit of doing. It'll involve a few changes to the inter-BBS messaging JS library and I will want to chat with DM about that a bit first.

    I haven't noticed that, as I made a custom index.html page for the ruinmaster part of my website to handle my other 2 bbs's, and I use
    webv4 for the synchronet side.

    I cheated, myself... running 3 instances, one default for future api dev
    with a 404.ssjs that redirects to a common host... then I have the other
    two (runemaster and ecweb4) on different ports. I have a separate Caddy
    server acting as a reverse-proxy for the three, hosting static content
    on the main site.

    More on my todo list.

    Good Morning EC

    As you remember, I am running webv4 from my main website. I would like a way for the user to go from webv4 back to the main site after they are finished with synchronet.

    Across the top on the header, you have the BBS Name, Home, Forum, Files, More.

    What I would like is when they select Valhalla Home Services, that it go back to my main website. Is there a way you could make that selectable for those of us that are running webv4 from another site. Thanks for considering this

    When you hover over Valhalla Home Services, you see bbs.valhallabbs/webv4/ where I would like it to be bbs.valhallabbs.com/

    The home button is sufficent for the user to return the the webv4 page.

    Done. After updating, add a setting to ctrl/modopts.ini -> [web]:

    brand_link = /

    Or instead of /, whatever URL you want that link to point to.

    Works like a charm, thanks so much. I did notice one thing however, after the update, you can't view the files section. I don't think it's related, as it points to the correct area "http://bbs.valhallabbs.com/webv4/?page=002-files.xjs" but all you get is a blank page. I have not upgraded to 2.19, so nothing has changed on my end, and I have been keeping up with the updates on webv4.

    Well, that's interesting. Someone else is having the same problem, but I am not experiencing it on my system.

    When you say "keeping up with the updates on webv4", does that mean you're updating webv4 but maybe not updating the rest of your BBS at the same time?

    DM recently made a change to webv4/lib/files.js which depends on a recent copy of exec/load/filebase.js. If you don't have the latest version of that latter file, this might break things for you.

    (Same goes for John Willoughby if he's reading this, and sorry if I got the name wrong.)

    I have noticed that files uploaded since the 3.19 upgrade that files received after that are not listed. I wonder if webv4 is using the <=3.18 filebase instead of the => 3.19 filebase?

    Yes, that's the case. I'll turn my attention to updating the Files page in the next couple of weeks.

    I sometimes forget to do that :( I try to keep up with it, but sometime I just forget.

    DM recently made a change to webv4/lib/files.js which depends on a recent copy of exec/load/filebase.js. If you don't have the latest version of that latter file, this might break things for you.

    I think that was it. I installed Binkit this weekend, and upgraded the js files it uses, one being filebase.js. I just checked the js files that filebase.js looks for, and I noticed I haden't updated filesize.js. Now that I have done that, webv4 is back working. While I was at it, I re downloaded files.js, auth.js. and request.js to to be sure I hit all areas fresh.

    Everything is good now, Thanks

    Yes, that's precisely what's happening. :-)
