- **** WhosOn *****
-
- A module by Scott Szretter.
-
- What does it do?
- Basically, it will allow you, and your callers to see "Whos On"...
-
- It will list the status of all of your lines, like so:
-
- Line 1: "Scott Szretter" at 9600
- From: Natick, MA At: menu1
- Line 2: INACTIVE
- Line 3: "Joe Doe" at 1200
- From: San Fransisco, CA At: chat
- Line 4: INACTIVE
- Line 5: INACTIVE
-
- and so on... It will list ONLY the number of lines that you have.
- (Anotherwords if you one have two lines - one modem and the mac keyboard, it
- will only list Line 1 and Line 2 status's.)
-
- This is a helpful module if you have more than one line, so another caller
- can see if someone else is on to chat with, or when one comes out,
- someone to play a multi-user game with...
-
- To install - just copy into the modules file with res-edit.
- It should be called 'WhosOn'.
-
- To use, simple edit your 'maincaller.info' file in the caller folder, and
- add the module name somewhere before the 'menu1' module name.
-
- It creates no files, and only requires a file called "WhosOn.info"
- to be in your "bbssupport" folder.
-
- This file contains 4 numbers (either 1 or 0).
- Example:
-
-
- 1 < first line
- 1
- 1
- 1
- 1 < last line
-
-
- 1=do it, 0=dont do it.
-
- The first line is wether to check the users phone.
- If there is NO phone number in the users file, it will ask the user for one.
-
- The second line is wether to check the users handle.
- If it is equal to "noalias" then it will ask the user for one.
-
- The third line is wether to check the users birth date.
- If its is blank, it will ask for the users birth date.
-
- The fourth line is whether to show the 'holiday' files.
- To use them, simply put a 1 on the 4th line in the file, and put the folder
- 'Holiday' in the same folder as your MUBBS application, and bingo.
- How it works, is the module simply looks at todays date, and looks for a file
- with the same date.....
- So if its 12/25, then the module will look for a text file in the Holiday folder named "12/25", and send it to the user if its there........

- ***** THIS PART WAS CHANGED FROM VERSION 1.4 to 1.5 ******
-
- READ READ READ READ
-
- The fifth line is whether to show the 'cookie' text.
- The file cookie.txt should be put in the Holiday folder in the mubbs folder,
- and the module will display a fortune to the users each time they log on.
- You may add/edit/delete any messages in this file.
- Type a ~ and press return after each cookie.
- If you Add or Delete any cookies, be sure to throw out the cookie.count file.
- This file is created if it isnt found. It is so whoson knows how many
- cookies are in the cookie.txt file.
-

- Thank you.
