Log Message:
Guest user prompts can be disabled via modopts.ini [logon] settings

guest_name = false will disable name prompt
guest_email = false will disable the email address prompt
guest_location = false will disable the location prompt
guest_referral = false will disable the "where'd you hear about this BBS" prompt

Note, at minimum, I do recommend prompting for the guest's email address so that if they send the sysop feedback (e.g. ask a question), they at least have some hope of receiving a reply.

Modified Files:
exec/logon.js
Log Message:
Allow text of all guest information prompts to be overridden in modopts.ini

By setting guest_name, guest_email, guest_location, or guest_referral to any truthy value, a prompt will be display. By setting it to a string (instead of true), that string will be displayed. I'm not sure how I feel about this kind of tri-state setting (true/false/string), but it does reduce the number of settings/options. The alternative is to have a separate boolean and string setting for each prompt (which I first considered).

So, as of now:

guest_name = false <- no prompt for Guest's name
guest_name = "" <- no prompt for Guest's name
guest_name = true (the default) <- default prompt text for Guest's name guest_name = "Enter your name, dude" <- replaces prompt text for Guest's name

For enter trailing white-space and ctrl-a codes, use string literals, e.g. guest_name: "\x01hEnter your name, dude: "

guest_name = "" <- no prompt for Guest's name

Actually, that's a bad/false example:

guest_name: "" <- no prompt for Guest's name (gotta use string literal syntax) --
