A Door for MAXSBBS 1.52+
Hi Guys..
This is a quick little door I originally wrote as a quick and
dirty for myself, and eventually got around to a version 1.0 release.
What does it do ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It draws up a graph of your file or message sections, showing the
content of each individual section as a percentage of the total number
of messages or files active.
This makes it easier to spot sections that are chockers with files
or messages, and helps you spot 'dead' sections in your file/msg base.
It also helps you decide what files to keep an eye out for when dropping
in to other boards, and where it might be useful to divide up a section
into a couple of more specific subsections. And it's an interesting stat.
(and it looks nice! 8-) )
Please feel free to put it online for your users, it will hide all
sections that they don't have access to, and they might enjoy having
a look at the profile of sections. (I didn't spend all the time on Fansi
ANSI just for you guys to look at!)
How do I use it ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can run it as a basic door, in which case it will prompt the user
whether they wish to look at file or message sections. Otherwise you can
supply a command line argument of:
"-Files" or "-F" or "-Messages" or "-M"
(case insensitive) to jump straight to the file or message area display
This is so you can place it in the File or Message menus or run it from
BBS:Doors/Intro.text as a sort of bulletin.
Just add the argument in the Name/Dest/Path gadget in MAXS Menu editor
ie:
Key Function Extra LoAcc HiAcc Filename/Name/Dest/Path
S 34 0 10 10000 BBS:Doors/SectionSummary1.0 -F
To go straight to files, or
Key Function Extra LoAcc HiAcc Filename/Name/Dest/Path
S 34 0 10 10000 BBS:Doors/SectionSummary1.0 -M
To show only messages, or
Key Function Extra LoAcc HiAcc Filename/Name/Dest/Path
S 34 0 10 10000 BBS:Doors/SectionSummary1.0
To be prompted for a choice. (simple!)
* Have fun - I wrote in a few neat things using the new MAXS
extended door functions like page length checking and other
stuff. any probs/bugs/ideas, contact me here:
