Hello Digital Man,

I have configured the nodelist_handler with tickit but when a new nodelist arrives nothing seems to happen. Here's a log snippit..

Hello Digital Man,

I have configured the nodelist_handler with tickit but when a new nodelist arrives nothing seems to happen.

I may not be the best person to help as I haven't (yet) run tickit.js and I didn't write it (Deuce did).

Here's a log snippit..

Apr 6 00:51:08 trmb synchronet: evnt Semaphore signaled for Timed Event: TICKI T
Apr 6 00:51:08 trmb synchronet: evnt Running timed event: TICKIT
Apr 6 00:51:08 trmb synchronet: evnt Executing external: ?tickit
Apr 6 00:51:08 trmb synchronet: evnt Parsing /sbbs/fido/sec.in//A5L10OO8.TIC Apr 6 00:51:08 trmb synchronet: evnt Unable to parse 'undefined' as JSON, aborting

That error comes from load/tickit/nodelist_handler.js

It looks like it's expecting a key value named "handlerarg" your tickit.ini file and likely case-sensitive (even though the wiki shows "HandlerArg", I suspect only "handlerarg" would actually work).

What's in your tickit.ini file?

This is the section for the nodelist..

[NODELIST]
Dir=FIDO-NODELIST
Handler=tickit/nodelist_handler.js
HadlerArg={"domain":"fidonet", "match":"NODELIST.Z*", "nlmatch":"nodelist.*"}

Thanks, I'll lowercase handlerarg and see what happens.

HandlerArg or handlerarg just passes parameters to the handler tickit runs, but reading that makes me think I may have missed a "}" in there.

Jon pointed out the spelling ("Hadler" instead of "Handler") - that's like the problem. Looking more closely at fidocfg.js, the capitalization ("HandlerArg" versus "handlerarg") should make no difference, but the spelling has to be correct.

I'm looking at the spelling of HadlerArg (if nothing else)... and perhaps missing the "}" is another problem on its own.

So do I, and (also) not readmacs. They're probably on par with .DL(-view) & GLIB thingies.[shrug] 8-)

I think "readmac" was the name of the MS-DOS program you could use to view a Macintosh video file (*.mac?) which was a very pixelated animated monochome "video". These things made GIFS look good!

How to pick up chicks:

1) Walk into a barnyard.
2) Kneel down.
3) Pick up a chick.

Of course, if you hold him in your hand or put him on your shoulder,
you may scare the crap out of him. <G>
