It would be super useful if there were display codes for outputting the state of user flags.

For example, I am using the user flag F on the first set to indicate fast login. I then created a menu entry in my account settings to allow the user to enable fast login.

Without a means to display a value for the user flag, I had to create two
menu entries. One for the value being On (with an ACS of FF) and one for the value being off (with an ACS of !FF). I also had to explicitly set a
execution break command right after setting the flags so that it would not
just call both commands when you pressed the menu key.

While this certainly works, I would have much rather been able to use a
single menu entry. We have a command for toggling a user flag. All that would be required is a display code. Something like:

|OF# - display user code on first page as On / Off
|OD# - display user code on second page as On / Off
|YF# - display user code on first page as Yes / No
|YD# - display user code on second page as Yes / No

If this already exists but just isn't documented in display_codes.txt I would love to hear about it! Otherwise... I would find this super useful!

Thanks!

You are going about this the hard way and making more work out there then
there has to be. Most folks have a fast login and will use a menu command of -Y with the text in the data Fast Login? Any command without an OK in the
data field after this if the user hit yes will be skipped and the one command to goto main will be with an OK in the data field and jump right to the main menu if thats what you are looking for.

Let me know if this helps or clears up how to do a fast login. :)

Here is an example of a fast login from one menu.

# Command: -Y
# Data : Fast Login?

# Command: GO
# Data : MAIN
# Access : OK

# Command: DI
# Data : GD
# Access : ART.ANS

# Command: GO
# Data : MAIN
# Access : (leave this blank)

If the user says YES, it will skip all other choices and goto MAIN, ifthe
user says NO then it will show everything without the Access OK in the field.

Hope this helps better than my last post, but making a fast login is pretty simple with the ACS used in the menu commands. =)

Hi there Pequito!

I appreciate what you are saying. I currently already do what you describe
for fast login. I wasn't asking how to do it, I was making a feature request and then giving an example of using the feature I was requesting.

I use several user flags for various things. In the case of Fast Login,
the option in the account settings changes the default for the the Yes / No prompt based it's setting. (So I can spam enter when logging in).

The added difficulty was intentional. And the feature as I described
currently works.

But with that said, I would love to be able to display the status of a user flag with a display code. It would be super useful. :)

I think this is a decent idea. I'll add it to the TODO list and see what I
can do.

Fantastic :D

Any thoughts on when the next alpha of mystic is coming out? :D
