    Hello everybody!

    What's the best way to point Golded to a Synchronet config setup?

    I do not believe you can, I have tried several times in the past and never came up with the answer. If you do please share.

    I had these options for Synchronet in the stock .CFG file. They worked for me. I tried all 3 and they worked.


    ;AREAFILE Synchronet c:\sbbs\ ; Synchronet BBS dir
    ;AREAFILE Synchronet c:\sbbs\ctrl\ ; Synchronet BBS config dir ;AREAFILE Synchronet c:\sbbs\ctrl\msgs.cnf ; Synchronet BBS config file

    Hola Rick!

    ;AREAFILE Synchronet c:\sbbs\ ; Synchronet BBS dir

    AREAFILE synchronet /sbbs/

    I have only tested this in linux with version 3.17 (I think I remember) of synchronet and it worked for me.

    Just a head's up that Synchronet v3.20 (still under development) moved from .cnf (binary struct) configuration files to .ini files.

    I didn't realize yhat was a thing. I guess that's what I get for not reading the manual, isn't it? XD

    Thanks for that info.

    Of course! Took me a bit to figure out at first, but it turned out easy on my eyes in the end:

    I get it. That's to much work. Thanks.

    Ok. It's really not that much work, though. You can export all of your areas from Synchronet to a FIDONET.NA format file, then just add in the golded options you need.

    Either way, that seems to be the only way to accomplish what you were asking. When pointing directly to msgs.ini (or probably any single file that reads an entire message base, for that matter), there are really no "groups" specified in Golded, so Golded doesn't know where to put the area separators.
