• New user birth date prompt

    From Doug Cooper@1:227/702 to All on Mon Aug 23 12:27:00 2021
    g00r00 or someone who may know,

    I am trying to make a "form" style new user login with everything on one page such as:

    Alias
    Real Name
    Gender
    Location
    Birth Date
    E-Mail Address
    User Note
    etc.

    All is working very nicely with the exception of birthdate.

    In testing, when I reach "birth date," I type it into it's designated
    x/y location (approxmately Y12 X48). Input works just fine. However after hitting [ENTER] the birthdate disappears, adds several blank spaces, clearing my ansi border to the right, then down one line by approximately 7 characters.

    So what should look like

    [*] Enter your Birthdate : [*]
    [*] Enter your E-Mail Address : [*]

    Looks like

    [*] Enter your Birthdate :
    Enter your E-Mail Address : [*]

    by the time the birthdate is entered.

    Is there a hidden prompt adding these spaces, and/or some trick I can do to keep this from happening?

    Any help is mucho appreciated!

    No there are no hidden prompts what is the e-mail prompt doing?

    If you want to send me your prompts so I can install it here I can test it but other than that there aren't any hidden things and even my own BBS has a form-style application.

    It's the birthday prompt. There appear to be more blank spaces to clear the birthday within the code then is necessary, to clear out the birthday after inputted by the new user.
    For example:
    If the "end point" of the birth date was X75 on line Y05
    Mystic is clearing the b-day from X67 Y05 through X10 Y06 ish.

    Not exactly that number of characters, it could be more. I'm assuming it's a strRep ' ' that is longer then XX/XX/XX. But I can't see that code (Smilez)

    If you want to send me your prompts so I can install
    it here I can test g0> it but other than that there aren't any hidden things and even my own g0> BBS has a form-style application.

    I do have one other question as I build this new BBS ...

    I have "Require feedback" turned on within mystic -cfg.
    After the new user enters their information, they are presented with the "feedback required" ansi. Mystic then flies right past the ansi without pulling up the message editor and forcing the user to type something.

    What step am I missing here?

    Also was curios when the OF (not first call, invisible access feature) will be available? I'm still seeing an 8.19 build for RPI. No rush, just curious.

    Thank you!

    There are no extra prompts or a "strrep". The reason I asked about the e-mail prompt is because that is what is asked next and what would display after you input the birthdate. I think you may have to send me a reproducable example if you want me to look into it further.

    (You can certainly make it longer or shorter if you use the IN/IS mci codes).

    Do you have the "send feedback to" user set in the configuration? If Mystic can't find the user you have configured then it will do that.

    Its in the 8.22 build which is on there now. Looks like I forgot to upload the 8.22 release after I put it together so I just did! Sorry abou that!

    It's not a huge deal if I can find your old form mod. The email prompt, which does follow after, was fine, it was the birthday being inputed and then erased after that seemed to have been causing the issue. I have it fixed to work as is, by shortening the prompt questions, and repositioning the x/y locations on the form within the ansi.

    Hmmm .. I'll check that out .. I don't recall setting that up. Thank you.
