is there a way to get a user's node number?

example:

1 - Sysop at main menu via telnet
2 - test at main menu via telnet
3 - john running ChatRoom via telnet
4 - jane running ChatRoom via telnet

john's info would be stored in the database under [node 3]

so im trying to figure out how to get that number.

var nodetext = "node" + user.nodenumber;

Most users aren't on a node, so what this 'user' object in the above context? You can get the current node (of the user for which the current JS context is executing) with the bbs.node_num property. If you want to see if a current user is online, you can look thorugh the system.node_list array and see if the useron property matches the user number you're interested in (see exec/nodelist.js for an example).
