Hi all.

I have a script that is causing the BBs to crash (freebsd version) when it runs and I have tried a few things to get it working but can't. Can anyoe
see what is wrong with this?


top =format(bbs.text(377),"",user.age,user.gender,user.birthdate
,user.name,user.phone,user.computer,user.connection);

bbs.email(bbs.node_val_user,null
,top
,"New user introduction");

What it should do is read prompt 377 from text.dat (which it does) and
format it with the users data and place it in a sting called top
Then it creates a new email to the sysop with that text at the top of the message. Basically, it is a JS version of the new user feedback email
that I run from a script.

If I take out all of the user. variables so it says

top =format(bbs.text(377),"");

then it works, in so far as it creates an email and puts string 377 at the
top of the text. Any ideas why it doesn't work when I try to populate the string 377 with the users data would be appreciated!

Thanks
Merlin

I will guess and say fields with null values cause it to crash? :)

Yeah, you need to pass a string for strings and a number for numbers in the last release version.

ie: String, num, num, string, string, string, string, string

you're passing:
string, num, string, string, string, string, string, string

Try changing user.gender to ascii(user.gender)

This has been fixed for 3.14

Hi. Thanks. I'll give that a try in a minute, although I am using 3.14 on FreeBSD!

In which case we have a different issue... try adding the params one at a time until it causes the crash... I'll try reproducing on my system.

Ok, problem reproduced and solved two ways in CVS.

My suggestion should still make it work however. :-)

Ive changed my script to use ascii(user.gender) and it now works. I am
using the latest CVS of 3.14 for FreeBSD, so maybe it isn't fixed!
