As always, when doing any programming or software development, the first resource I use is the programming documentation.. The documentation for Synchronet's JavaScript object model is located here: http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html

If you are not familiar with JavaScript, I would suggest first reading through a JavaScript tutorial and trying to write some of your own little scripts to work with it a little so you can get more familiar with it.

For the first part of what you want to do, to display a text file, you might be able to use console.printfile(), or maybe bbs.menu(). For the second part, to ask the user a yes/no question, you could use console.yeseno() (if the default answer is to be "yes") or console.noyes() (if the default answer is to be "no").

I've just tended to search for JavaScript online and read the web sites & tutorials I've come across online.. I don't have any specific best books/websites I feel like I can recommend - just that Google is your friend. :)

Not sure what you're asking.. Are you asking me to write your script for you?

Okay it seems newuser.js is not the file i want... i want it to be read
before the regstration is actually saved to the BBS database... how can
this be done before that so will not be a waste of time deleting people
who did not agree to it....

Use the built-in "magic word" feature:
1. Set SCFG->System->Advanced Options->New User Magic Word to "agree".
2. Put your agreement text in the 'MagicWordPrompt' line of your ctrl/text.dat file (using the @TYPE or @INCLUDE codes to print an external text/ANSI file if that is your preference) and ask the user to type "AGREE". If they do not, they will be disconnected and the account will not be created.
3. You can change the 'FailedMagicWord' line in your ctrl/text.dat to explain that agreement of terms is required for membership to the BBS (or something like that).

Just chiming in on this one trying to understand some simple javascript. So if you use console.noyes and have bbs.hangup(); right after it, the no is highlighted (as it being noyes rather than yesno) so that only happens if no is used? And it would work vice versa? Now if yes is selected, it automatically bypasses the bbs.hangup(); ? I'm just asking because I have very little coding intelligence, and whatever I did have back in the 90s had a lot to do with if/then or else statements in order to do what seems so easy in two lines with javascript. :)

Yes, the if() is checking if the code inside the () evaluates to true or not. In the case of console.noyes(), it returns true when the user selects "no". The nested expression(s), in this case, bbs.hangup() is only executed if the if() test evaluates to true.

Understood. And thank you for clarifying.

run it from inside your login.js as part of the newuser action... right before it does the createuser.
