    I couldn't figure out how to hide the sysop from Talisman's built-in Last
    10 Users script, so I wrote one! More of an exercise to brush up on my luascript, but here it is in case anyone wants to test it...

    Cheers,

    Looks nice!

    I think you should be able to set yourself as "invisible" in the
    seclevel.toml (I use user level 99 for sysop, and have that set as
    invisible)

    Thanks!!

    I'm using level 100 for sysop and set to invisible, but the Last 10 always shows my login... I'll try it again. Was pretty fun to spin up lua, but
    it's not really different than the built-in one, other than using
    "lifetime stats" as I'm not using the bbs_get_calllog_x() function...

    That's really strange. Probably a dumb question, but did you set your
    sysop user to that sec level wit toolbelt? I know it will display your
    user that logged in prior to being invisible, but setting your sec level
    to an invisible one should stop it happening again, i don't use the built
    in last 10 either, might be something I need to look at.

    I use both the built in one and the ibbs one. I can confirm I'm not
    shown in either. (I have a script I run manually to add myself to the
    IBBS list)

    Yeah, I used toolbelt to set seclevel. I think back when i first started
    using Tailsman you had said it didn't hide the sysop for some reason, but
    I could be mistaken...

    Would be cool if bbs_get_calllog_x() also returned Location, Date (timeago
    if it was the same day). That would simplify customizing with lua, since
    it's pretty nice to be able to control the format. Like the way you built
    ILC or IBOL with luascript.

    I'm using "Lifetime stats" because it would require me to do some sqlite
    stuff in order to extract per-call activities, which requires luarocks
    mods, etc. and last time I went down that rabbit hole I regretted it, ha.

    Cheers!

    OK, so I thought I used toolbelt to change seclevel, but just popped open
    the user.dat database and it was set to 10, lol. I must have not actually upgraded my sysop account. Well, now I've got an alternate Last 10 screen
    to mix things up!! Ha...

    I'll have to look at that, I've been working on noddy yesterday and
    today..

    For those who don't know noddy was a node js web frontend for talisman. I
    wrote it a couple of years ago, it displayed last 10, oneliners and that
    was about it.

    I've now got user logins happening and have started with email, you can currently read your email via the web. Small start.

    Once I've got that working I'll work on file bases, mostly because I'm
    not looking forward to figuring out how to implement Squish message bases
    in nodejs.

    Noddy is completely seperate from talisman, though it uses the data from
    the BBS obviously, so you don't need it, but my hope is to make it as featureful as Magicka's web interface was.

    Yes it runs on Windows too :)

    I'll have to check it, but I wondered if it was because you were using
    level 100 instead of 99, i've never tried a security level with higher
    than 99 and thought maybe toolbelt is only reading the first two digits,
    though it shouldn't..

    While I don't envy you that at all, it would be cool. I do have another question though, were you not working on another BBS that used SQL for
    the message bases? Or am I thinking of someone else? Does anyone use
    talisman BECAUSE it uses squish?

    the BBS obviously, so you don't need it, but my hope is to make it as featureful as Magicka's web interface was.

    Very cool!

    Nice! I'll install and test it when you release it.

    That's pretty cool! I remember running Noddy when you first started
    working on it, and i think it had templates to make it easy to customize?
    A Web front-end with messages would be good way to be able to read on the
    go, mobile-wise...

    I liked the Magicka interface (on the version I am still
    running here) so much that I thought about trying to port the interface
    over to my Synchronet system. I believe that is well beyond my
    capabilities, though. :D

    I did add SQL bases to magicka, but it didn't really work out. Titan has
    sql message bases too. I chose squish because originally Talisman didn't
    have a tosser and mailer and it fit in with HPT.

    Howdy,

    While I don't envy you that at all, it would be cool. I do have another question though, were you not working on another BBS that used SQL for

    That might be me.

    Clrghouz stores mail, node and network details in PostgreSQL.

    If apam extends his http frontend, in theory, he can receive and post messages via http to clrghouz. ;)

    I did start work on creating a BBS to clrghouz - but I've adapted a viewdata type interface (but with ANSI). May never be finished, but I'll dabble at it as I get motivated...

    I faintly remember Magicka getting them. Titan was what I was thinking.

    Good reason. I mean it works perfectly. One doesn't need generic
    formats because Talisman has it all built in. ie: using the index reader
    now. Just like Golded. :)

    I actually rememeberd about clrghouz. LOL When you post updates about it
    I tend to read them. Always interested in anything modern. Probably why
    I left ezycom and started running software Apam writes. If a bug /
    feature is found / requested there is a chance it will be added. ;)

    That's the way to do it!
