BRUCE01.MOD Version 3


by Bruce Guthrie #28 @2900

Maxie's Toy BBS - Modesto, California - (209) 526-5899

For WWIV v4.11 / 4.12

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

You know how the "email waiting" list normally just shows the names
that the email is from? Well, a mod came across the net, by Jeff Garzik, that
added the title of the email to that display:

You have mail from:

1. Billy Richards #81 "Sure thing, so you are going to be th"
2. Sharon Frey #162 "Ha!"
3. Philip Latenser #210 "Docs..."
4. User 1 @4550 "net"


I then changed that mod a bit, mostly so it would work with the color
title mod, and then moved it to the sub title scan. Previously, when scanning
the messages in a sub, it would only show the titles. Now it also shows the
name of the person who wrote the message:

( 99) User 9 @3300 "I have watched this conversation on p"
[100] Bruce Guthrie #28 "They do..."
* (101) User 46 @2901 "So"
* (102) User 99 @3300 "Hazel"
* (103) >UNKNOWN< "Here's an interesting thought......"
* (104) Hazel #93 "As I've said"


Pretty simple mod. All in MSGBASE1.C, in "void scan".


Step One: (Add three variables)

. void scan(int msgnum, int optype, int *nextsub)
. {
. char s[81],s1[81],s2[81],*b,*ss1;
. int i,i1,i2,done,quit,abort,next,val,realexpress;
. slrec ss;
. long l,len;
. postrec p,p1;
+ userrec u; /* Add this */
+ unsigned short author_num,author_sys; /* Add these */
.


Step Two: (Replace the entire case)

+ case 1: /* List Titles */
+ i=0;
+ abort=0;
+ if (msgnum>=nummsgs)
+ abort=1;
+ ansic(0);
+ ss=syscfg.sl[thisuser.sl];
+ while ((!abort) && (!hangup) && (++i<=10)) {
+ ++msgnum;
+ author_num=msgs[msgnum].owneruser;
+ author_sys=msgs[msgnum].ownersys;
+ sprintf(s1,"%c %c%3d%c ",
+ ((msgs[msgnum].qscan>thisuser.qscnptr[curlsub]) ? '*':' '),
+ (((author_sys==0) && (author_num==usernum)) ? '[':'('),
+ msgnum,
+ (((author_sys==0) && (author_num==usernum)) ? ']':')'));
+ outstr(s1);
+ if ((msgs[msgnum].anony & anony_sender) &&
+ ((ss.ability & ability_read_post_anony)==0))
+ sprintf(s,">UNKNOWN<");
+ else
+ if (author_sys==0) {
+ read_user(author_num,&u);
+ sprintf(s,"%s",nam(&u,author_num));
+ } else
+ sprintf(s,"User %u @%u",author_num,author_sys);
+ outstr(s);
+ i1=41-strlen(s)-strlen(s1);
+ for (i2=1; i2 + outstr(" ");
* sprintf(s,"\3%c\"%s\3%c\"",'0',msgs[msgnum].title,'0');
* if (strlen(s)>42) {
* if (s[39]==3)
* s[39]=32;
* s[40]=3;
* s[41]=48;
* s[42]=34;
* s[43]=0;
* }
+ pla(s,&abort);
+ if (msgnum>=nummsgs)
+ abort=1;
+ }
+ optype=0;
+ break;


Note: The lines marked with "*" only apply if you're using the Color Title
mod. If you aren't, use the following lines instead:

* sprintf(s,"\"%s\"",msgs[msgnum].title);
* if (strlen(s)>39) {
* s[39]=34;
* s[40]=0;
* }
