- ####### Wish List Module ########
- ######################
- By: Scott Szretter
- (C)1991-1992 Scott Szretter
- Please see the file "COPYRITE.SPS"
-
- This module will allow your users to create a 'wish list' on your bbs.
-
- To install the module, copy it with resedit (it should be called 'wish' in
- the distibution arcive) into the mubbs modules file - renumbering if
- necessary.
-
- There should be a folder called "wish" in the same directory as your
- 'modules' file.
- This folder should contain:
-
- -> modulename.info - The wishlist
- -> modulename.help - The user help screen
- -> modulename.intro - The introduction screen
- -> modulename.menu - The wish list menu displayed to the user.
- -> modulename.level - Contains security info.
-
- (Where modulename is the name of the module. ("wish") in the distribution
- archive.)
-
- Edit these files with a plain text editor like Jolliwrite, or Vantage, or
- MacWrite and save as text.
-
- To call the module, simply call it by it's name.
-
- When the module is called, it will present the user with the menu that is
- in the '.menu' file.
-
- There are 4 options available:
-
- "Quit" will simply exit the user back to the calling module or menu.
- "Display" will display the main or alternate wish list file to the user.
- (modulename.info) or (modulename.alt) (the alternate will be made
- available if the users security is above what is specified in
- the level file.)
- "Add" will allow the user to add to the main or alternate wish list.
- "Help" will display the file wish.help in the wish folder. (modulename.help)
-
- The actual wish list is kept in a folder called "wish", and the file name is
- modulename.info" (If the module is called 'wish', then the file would be
- in the folder called wish, and the file would be called 'wish.info').
-
- This module has been tested, but I take no responsibility for any damages
- that may occur from using this module.
-
- Wish lists are usually lists of software users want, or anything you can
- think of.
-
- The .level file contains three things.
- The first is the security level to actually access the module.
- It is a number, and the users level must be higher than what is in the
- file. Return terminated.
- The second is the message the user will get if the users security level
- is not high enough to access the module.
- The third is the security level to add to or display the ALTERNATE wish
- list. (a number) The users level must be HIGHER.
-
