  • user birthdates

    From Rick Smith@21:1/190.1 to All on Wed Aug 26 22:26:32 2020
    Greetings All!

    I had a odd request from a user, they mentioned that under their account settings they are unable to put a valid or accurate birthdate.. I checked and this option is not available so I went into the account menu to see if I could add it, but I cannot find a way to add it.. I imagine its in the data line but I do not find any reference to it in the docs.. Anyone ever get this added to theirs?

    Add a command to that menu. Have a "|BI" somewhere in the display text (probably follow the format of the other items, and make sure it has its own hotkey and whatnot)

    For the action list, it's
    (GE) Edit user settings

    with a Data of
    6

    I figured the data number by looking at the "GE - Edit User Settings" on: http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands&s[]=edit&s[]=user&s[]=setti ngs#general_commands

    ...and the MCI code at http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=displaycodes&s[]=mci&s[]=codes

    Thank you for some reason I could not find that..

    Do you know if there is a way to edit the .mnu files? Specifically what I am trying to do is add some art to the menu's, I can switch say the file menu to display contents in two columns, which would work for the ansi however the columns are too spread out. I am wondering instead of re-writting all the menu options in the ansi editor, I could edit the spacing of the menu columns somewhere?

    I didn't find any easy way of doing so, but I'm certainly no expert on this
    -- especially since I just wrote all the menu options in the ANSI editor for the ones I've changed around.

    I wouldn't doubt that you could probably do _something_ in the .mnu files,
    but if there's guidance on manually changing those (if it's even possible, as
    I wouldn't be surprised if it overwrote things when adjusting the menus using the config program), I didn't see anything on the wiki or in the whatsnew notes.

    I imagine there are somewhat kludgy ways of doing what you want, too, but I'm not aware of anything.
