  • Noob question about FILES Groups & Areas

    From Don Rolo@21:4/167 to All on Sat Feb 29 23:38:36 2020

    I have two GROUPS in the FILES section of my BBS.

    One GROUP is for fsxNet (the one that has FSX_INFO & FSX_NODE).

    And the other GROUP, is for the rest of the files I want to upload (I called this AREA "The Vault"). For now it only has two AREAS (C64 Games & UPLOADS (this last one is the one that comes by default).

    The problems is these last two AREAS (C64 Games & UPLOADS) also appears in the fsxNet group files menu :( and I can�t get them out of there.

    In short: I have the BBS local files GROUPS also replicated in the fsxNet GROUP.

    How can I move them from one GROUP to another or just get rid of the local
    BBS files from the fsxNet AREA?
    I tried everything but I couldn't do it...
    Thanks in advance!

    We would need to see your group and area configurations, but generally
    speaking in the "List ACS" for each file base area you need to define which groups it should show up in.

    So if you have File Group ID 1 "My Files" and Group ID 2 "FSX Files" then for bases you want to show up in Group ID 2 you'd need to be a "z2" in the List
    ACS for those bases, telling it that they should show up in group 2 only.

    You will need to set the "List ACS" in the File Base Editor for each file area to:

    z<file group ID>

    ...e.g.:

    z1

    ...for all file areas that should "belong" to the file group with ID 1.
    And z2 for all file areas that should "belong" to the file group with ID 2.

    This is how it looks for my "Uploads" file area:

    ���������������������������������� ID 1 ����������������������������������
    � �
    � Base Name � Uploads � ��� FTP Name � Uploads �gj!
    �� Echo Tag � Uploads ���
    �� Net Address � 0:0/0 (Local Address) Display File � �۱� � � Export To � 0 node(s) Template � ansiflst ���� � � List ACS � z1 Def. Scan � Yes ۰� � � Upload ACS � z1 Free Files � No ۰� ��� Download ACS � s20z1 Slow Media � No ���� ��� Hatch ACS � z1 Uploader � Yes �۰�
    � FTP ACS � z1 FileEcho Hub � No ���
    � Sysop ACS � s255z1 Anonymous FTP � No �
    � List EACS � z1 �
    � Data File � uploads �
    � File Path � /mnt/bbs/mystic/files/local/uploads/ �
    ��������������������������������������������������������������������������

    Hope this helps!

    Best regards

    it seem that I didn't understand completly the concept of "files zones & z1".

    By the way, it's an honor knowing the autor of this FANTASTIC soft! thank
    you for it!

    Thank you Sir! it worked! I saw few days ago the tutorial from Mystic
    Guy but it seem that I didn't understand completly the concept of "files zones & z1".
