G'day all, hope your day has been great so far!
Just a question, I have an assignment for ICP at school where we are creating
a web page. I figured that I could make myself my own page layout for my BBS, CRT BBS using Adobe DreamWeaver (CS5).
I am fluent in several programming languages, and have worked with HTML before to create a web server that I later replaced with Synchronet.
My problem is that I can't find any form of HTML anywhere! Everything is using these SSJS files that I have never seen before. I do know a little Java script, but we are doing the assignment using HTML and CSS.
My question is how can I modify and thus create my own Synchronet HTML theme using DreamWeaver, and where on earth is all the HTML?
Thanks, and feel free to tell me off if this is not in the right place :-p

You can put whatever files you like (including HTML and CSS) in your web/root directory. This would be fine for static content. For dynamic content, you'd want to use something like php, ssjs/xjs, etc.

I have a custom theme installed in it's own directory, not in the web/root directory, (ie: /sbbs/etrucker) just gotta update the sbbs.ini [WEB] and set the RootDirectory to were you are running your scripts from. My theme is a cluster of responsive css, html, php, js, ssjs/xjs; you can check it out at http://alleycat.synchro.net (note if you use the ftelnet to create
new user account you need to refresh the main index.xjs as the center pain(no typo :-P) is an iframe
good luck with your assignment

I'm a few days behind and this has probably been answered by now, but your Synchronet webserver is perfectly capable of serving up straight HTML and CSS. Just put the files in a web accessible directory (under web/root/) and point a browser at them.

Depends on what you mean by "theme". A lot of the HTML is generated by scripts. To get dynamic data out of your BBS, you'll more or less need to use javascript at some point.
SSJS stands for server-side-javascript. The script is executed on the server, and its output is sent to the client. Like PHP, etc., but in JS.
There's .xjs also, which is for HTML with inline server-side JS. Similar to how PHP was (is?) commonly done inline at one point.
There's some info about this on the Synchronet wiki. Useful JS documentation is at http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html.
