<An additional routine that auto-creates a default webspace folder complete with user's name in the right places, according to a sysop-customizable template folder would be cool too. The files in the template folder may denote the users name in the HTML/SPML as $USER_NAME or something like that. I suppose that default PUB folder contents could be auto-created in the same way.>
Could you expain this in more detail? I'm missing something. Doesn;'t User Manager already autocreate the web space folder?
The webspace folder is created, but nothing is put in it. I would like to place a starter homepage in the folder that is pre-customized with the user's name in the all the right spots, as denoted by a variable in the template source file.. The homepage template file should be created/changed by the sysop, so that site-customizations can be a part of the page.
< properly URLencode the user names and paths in the listing of user homepages that Suzie produces>
>> Suzie is not a top priority right now. So this will be on the back burner. Maybe there is someone out there that would like to pick up the "Suzie" ball? <<
I'll volunteer!!! I've requested the Suzie Sourcecode from Chris, so I can try to do this. He responded that he'd send it to me but as yet I have not received it. (I hope it is in C or C++!!) In this way, I would like to be able to contribute more than just my ideas and feedback directly to TeleFinder development. (though I am more of a unix programmer than a mac programmer.) Ken has convinced me to pop for the "lite" version of Codewarrior, and my understanding wife will prolly allow for the purchase of a new serer so I can relegate my existing one to code development.
I would like to tackle development of a JAVA-based web-chat plugin that would allow:
1. HTTP to/from BBS users on TF connections 2. BBS-BBS Chat rooms 3. Status of inter-connected TF BBS:
Users online listed by Chat Room. Users connected but not chatting etc.
I just got the lastest JDK from Apple and have JAVA source for a web-chat client. What I do not have is complete documentation on how to work with the TF Chat. My attempts to protoype this using Applescript do not work. I understand that Frontier can be and has been used, but I do not understand enough Frontier to be able to do this, and feel that I could get the job done quicker if I have to learn fewer programming environments.
