It might depend on the editor you're using. I have a feeling what you might need is some kind of online ANSI editor that can post messages.. I think most editors I've used on a BBS don't really handle ANSI.

That's true, you might just be able to copy & paste the ANSI.. though, if the editor does line wrapping (or even if it doesn't), it might not get saved correctly in order for it to be displayed correctly.

Is there a way to upload an ANSI to the editor in Synchronet?

There is "the editor", but anyway, you can use raw input mode to raw/ascii-upoload an ANSI as a message. Hit Ctrl-Z to enter raw input mode before posting your message and Ctrl-Z to stop the upload (and exit raw input mode).

I've recently
noticed none of the editors have that option.

Some might. I don't now what editors you're referring to. When using "raw input mode", you avoid the use of an editor altogether.

If the SysOp allows ANSI what
is the proper way to upload an ANSI to BBS Ads in Dovenet. It's a piece of cake on other boards I use.

Yeah, piece of cake on Synchronet too.

Most message editors don't take too kindly to pasting ANSI escape sequences.

This thread gave me an idea though. I think it would be possible for a message editor to have an "upload" option, where someone could upload a file to be posted instead of typing in the message. I was thinking of adding that to SlyEdit, though offhand I don't remember if you can initiate a file upload via JavaScript..

I'm not sure what you think a "back door" is, but it's not the same as an undocumented or poorly
documented feature.

People have explained the raw input mode to you, and you didn't even need to read any docs to get your
answer. Is raw input not working? Did you use that feature when posting your advertisement earlier in a
reply to DM?

This may seem like a crucial and obvious feature to you, but I can't remember the last time anyone
brought it up, so it's clearly not a priority for everyone. Maybe request a feature instead of being
indignant and incredulous that it doesn't already exist.

Perhaps Nightfox will add an upload feature to his editor soon, and maybe it'll help you.

why are you putting back doors in quotes? there are no back doors in synchronet.
and whats wrong with the documentation? synchronet's docs are better than most bbs softwares.

Looks like an issue with word-wrap. Disabling word-wrap (Ctrl-Z) shows the ANSI content fine. It's an easy fix in the code.

I tested it. It was actually the *display* of the message that was mangling it (with word-wrap), not the posting/saving of the message. Raw I/O mode avoided the issue, but I also changed the code to detect ANSI-encoded messages and not word-wrap the text.

Raw i/o mode disables all the editors (including the built-in editor). I'm not sure which "the editor" the original poster was referring to, but I think it's a moot point now.

I think that is very strange an ANSI-BBS "don't handle" Ansi Screens.
those interested Mystic does an exellent job of posting Ansi and is
very user friendly. Simply upload and post.

it was like that with synchronet but i think there might be a bug. anyways, mystic is inferior to synchronet. it doesnt even have its own fossil. ---

I didn't say Mystic was better BBS software. I'm just saying Mystic handles posting BBS ads better and much easier. The option to upload to the editor is built in. Just upload the ansi to the editor and post it and your done. And the Ansi looks exactly like the one you created. The hidden ctrl-z option in Synchronet mangles my ansi. Synchronet has been in development for 20 years. It's dissapointing I can't post an Ansi screen with it. It is, after all an ansi bbs is it not? That's it and that' all. As DM said "You don't know what your doing" well that might be but I know I can post my Ansi's on Mystic BBS which is all I'm concered with right now.

No. It was actually the *display* of your ANSI which was mangling it, but that was a relatively new bug and has been fixed. Thanks for the report!

Ctrl-Z is displayed on the Control-Key menu (Ctrl-K), which is listed on the main menu. To make full use of the BBS, learning all the available options would help you.

Synchronet has been in development for
20 years. It's dissapointing I can't post an Ansi screen with it.

Of course you can. And you did.

It is,
after all an ansi bbs is it not? That's it and that' all.

Sending ANSI and receiving ANSI are different things. Most folks don't post raw ANSI messages these days, so it's not an oft-used feature. But it is there and it does work.

As DM said "You
don't know what your doing" well that might be but I know I can post my Ansi's on Mystic BBS which is all I'm concered with right now.

My apologies. The mangled output of your ANSI was my fault and not yours. The "don't know what you're doing" comment was mainly in regards to your ZMODEM-msg-upload attempt which caused everyone's terminal to enter auto-ZMODEM-download mode when viewing your message. I'm sure that's a mistake you won't make twice. But in any case, I added protection to the internal message viewing code in Synchronet so it won't pass those sequences on the to the message-reading user. Again, not something most folks do, but still, good to be defensive and handle those situations gracefully.

are getting mangled. there's nothing funny about them and they arent too wide.

Looks like an issue with word-wrap. Disabling word-wrap (Ctrl-Z) shows the ANSI content fine. It's an easy fix in the code.

There is "the editor", but anyway, you can use raw input mode to raw/ascii-upol
ad an ANSI as a message. Hit Ctrl-Z to enter raw input mode before posting

your

message and Ctrl-Z to stop the upload (and exit raw input mode).

Does "the editor" = the default built-in editor and not one of the externals? Thanks!

Raw i/o mode disables all the editors (including the built-in editor). I'm not
ure which "the editor" the original poster was referring to, but I think it's moot point now.

So what prompt do you need to be at when you hit CTRL-Z? Thanks!

There are other things with Mystic that, IMHO, are a PITA compared to Synchronet. Also, with DM you will usually get an answer fairly quick and
a fix, too, if one is necessary. Mystic goes through periods of basic abandonment.

Any prompt before posting (e.g. the main menu, before hitting 'P' to post). Ctrl-Z is a sticky toggle, so when you hit Ctrl-Z, you'll stay in raw I/O mode until you hit Ctrl-Z again to turn it off.

Didn't work for what? The disabling of word-wrap when in raw I/O mode was added in 2011, not long after the word-wrapping of message text was added: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/sbbs3/getmsg.cpp?revision=1.43&view=markup

so if i make my ansi 50 cols across will it display correctly?

It depends on how many characters are included in the ANSI escape sequences, but likely, not.

It depends on your terminal program. For SyncTERM, for example, you hit Alt-U (for upload) then select "Raw" or "ASCII" and it'll let you choose the file. If the file doesn't already end with a Ctrl-Z, then you'll need to type a Ctrl-Z to tell the BBS that you're done sending the file.

If you're using Syncterm hit Alt-U and then select the ansi. If you use another term find out what keys it uses to upload.

Sometimes copy and paste may not work as intended, but yeah it is worth a try. Of course, after the ASCII upload, you probably still have to manually save the message. It will then pay to know your editor! :)
