    I neglected to ask if you all would mind if I posted notifications here when changes are pushed to my GitHub repo for the new web UI. Sorry. :D

    Seems like a bunch of people are using it now, so I figured this would be a good way to let you know when bugs are fixed and features are added. If it's too annoying, downvote me to hell and I'll consider turning the notifications off. (Or if DM tells me to stop, I will.)

    Sorry. :D

    I had figured that was already happening? Or is that the Synchronet CVS that is
    being modified rather than github? I guess my only concern is that we would begin to see a bunch of double posts (ie: one for CVS and one for github of the
    same changes).

    I seem to already be getting update messages here, which keeps me informed of the current happenings. If this is what I'm already seeing here, then by all means please continue. But if it's something besides what is already going on, then I'm not so sure..

    Regards,

    I'm still using the first V4 *unchanged* version from github, and have been following all of your progress, from what I can see now, I think its time to do a full backup and upgrade to your new fixes, but so far afaik, I've had NO issues with the first version (besides Ftelnet not refreshing after an XTRN is ran) so I stick to the addage why fix it if it is'nt broke.. I'm enjoying the updates here, Homefully DM is too..

    There's currently no replication of the synchronet-web-v4 github repo to the Synchronet CVS. There are a few files that I keep in both places, but they are rarely changed and will probably disappear from github eventually.

    I seem to already be getting update messages here, which keeps me informed of the current happenings. If this is what I'm already seeing here, then

    The messages are already being posted here; I just didn't want to spam everyone if not enough people are interested.

    This particular issue was fixed within the last couple of weeks, so that may be a good reason to update.

    Read my previous message to you, if anything, until you get it rock hard stable I will make the page refresh itself if needed.. afaik it does'nt raise much a problem.

    I think it's a pretty great way of notifying folks. Just curious, does that file that hooks into Github work with the old web UI? I'm not quite ready to change interfaces.

    I think it should work just sitting on the Synchronet webserver; it doesn't actually use any other scripts from the new web UI.

    There is one line that loads a file that's part of synchronet-web-v4, but I suspect I just forgot to delete it. You could comment out line 25:

    load(system.exec_dir + '../web/lib/init.js');

    And then follow the instructions in the comments at the top of the file to set it up. Might work; would be good to test it on some local testing area of your BBS.

    Hello echicken,

    Understood.

    The messages are already being posted here; I just didn't want to spam everyone if not enough people are interested.

    I think what is currently in place is perfect. I'm notified when there's updates and what exactly was updated. I can then pull down from git and do exactly what the instructions in these postings say to do. :D

    So, I'm for keeping what you already have in place. Granted, if DM has an issue
    with it since it's not directly related to Synchronet CVS, then I would definitely be interested in another similar idea (possibly in another sub-board
    if it is indeed an issue).

    Regards,
    Nick
