  • exec/load/user_info_promp

    From Rob Swindell (on Debian L@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/m on Saturday, January 10, 2026 15:49:00
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/6d9a31337c87c50ed185c51d
    Added Files:
    exec/load/user_info_prompts.js
    Modified Files:
    exec/logon.js newuser_prompts.js
    Log Message:
    Share user info prompts between newuser and logon (missing property) checks

    Moved the majority of the content from newuser_prompts.js to load/user_info_prompts.js so it can now be reused in logon.js (needed now that we removed the checks from logon.cpp).

    - This also fixes a couple bugs: the "Invalid or duplicate handle" log message
    logged the user's name instead of handle.
    - If the sysop had the system configured to prmopt new users for their address
    but *not* their location, they would not be prompted for their city, state.

    Log Message:
    Move terminal related prompts from newuser_prompts.js to user_info_prompts.js

    this allows us to reuse the logic in logon.js for Guest logons

    to control which terminal-related questions are asked of Guests, you can now control those with the [logon:guest_prompts] section of ctrl/modopts.ini
    and many of the same options are available that are from newuser_prompts:
    - lang
    - backspace
    - mouse
    - exascii

    Log Message:
    Fix reversed bbs.trashcan() arguments in the user info prompts

    bbs.trashcan() takes (base_filename, search_string), but get_handle(), get_phone() and get_netmail() passed the user's input as the filename and
    the trashcan's name as the search string. Each check therefore searched a nonexistent text/<input>.can and always returned false, making the
    name.can, phone.can and email.can filters no-ops during new user
    registration and user settings.

    A new user could enter a handle that name.can forbids (e.g. one containing
    '@', which stock name.can rejects) and never be told: the prompt accepted
    it, and the check in newuser.cpp then aborted the entire registration with
    "New user handle (invalid or duplicate)" after every question had been answered. With the arguments in the documented order, the prompt re-asks instead.

    The handle and netmail checks were introduced with the module in
    2bf2347141 (2025-12-27), the phone check in 48dbc07468 (2026-01-19).
