...while I'm trying to figure out why I can't SEND mail on SBBS, I can read
it fine! but til then... I'll have to post my questions here...

First Question:

How do I make my default web theme for everybody the nightshade theme?

Second Question:

Is there another program other than 'addfiles' that can scan and add files to the database?

Third Question:


Does anybody have the syntax's for the archivers:

LHA - view/extract/add (or whatever the three things are in scfg)
ARC -
TAR -


I have 7z installed, arc, zip, rar, tar all installed under linux/ubnutn

Thanks for any help!

[Archive Type - LZA]
1: Archive Type LZA
2: Signature 2D6C68
3: Signature Offset 2
4: Pack Command Line lha -aw=%s %f
5: Unpack Command Line lha -ew=%s %f

[Archive Type - ARC]
1: Archive Type ARC
2: Signature 1A
3: Signature Offset 0
4: Pack Command Line pak a %f %s
5: Unpack Command Line pak e %f %s

TAR is interesting, you don't usually find tar archives these days unless they're also compressed like a tar.gz or tar.bz2

I've not tried it, but this should work
[Archive Type - TAR]
1: Archive Type TAR
2: Signature 7573746172
3: Signature Offset 257
4: Pack Command Line tar cf %f %s
5: Unpack Command Line tar xf %f %s

I have 7z installed, arc, zip, rar, tar all installed under linux/ubnutn

I'm running my BBS in Windows, but I created an archiver setup guide for Windows - Maybe this will help for you (I have some of the same archivers set up, so hopefully their command line syntax will happen to be the same in Linux):

Where do you use the 'signature' and 'signature offset'? My compressible/extractable types configurations in SCFG don't have those two options. I'm curious if those may appear only in the Linux build of Synchronet?

Those are available in 'Arcive Types' in echocfg, not scfg.

Yup. I used this website to find the signature and offset.

I see, I hadn't checked echocfg in a long time. Interesting that echocfg would have a couple more options for archive files than SCFG.

They only appear in EchoCfg (only SBBSecho needs them).

I had forgotten, as I haven't opened echocfg in a while..
