Hello everybody!

In the Export GoldED stanza there's a options for "Groups"

GoldEd export has an option to set the group value which can be up to 6 characters/numbers. This value will be used in the Group column when exporting data.

;This is the value used in the group column when exporting
;group = 0 <<

Has anyone used this and how do you do that?

Thanks,
RickV

In what context are you trying to use this? If you don't know, why do you need it? Also, that option doesn't work when accessing Synchronet message bases directly.

Although, in this case I don't think you're using Synchronet, since sbbsecho wouldn't let below happen.

Thanks,

You also went back to not including a tearline and origin line. Are you using the same Golded configuration file for both Mystic and Synchronet?

You probably shouldn't, as they need different settings to work correctly.

In my Golded/Synchronet setting I use msgs.ini for my message areas. When I do that Golded reads a group numbers of 0,1,2 3, etc. Agoranet for example is 0. So it would be nice to use the Golded "areasep" key word to define the "Areas". This would make Golded easier on the eyes.

As for that ^^^^^^^^^^ Not sure what happened there.

You also went back to not including a tearline and origin line. Are
you using the same Golded configuration file for both Mystic and Synchronet?

I do. When I switch to Mystic I use the Golded keyword in the multi stanza and create a goldedareas.txt that Golded can read. When I do that it puts a group number of 0 for all areas. That also would be nice to have Mystic actually put a sperate group ID for each area, but can't have everything. :-)

You can most definitely do that, but you can't do it while using msgs.ini. You would have to include a goldareas-sync.txt instead that defines each area manually. Then you can use the areasep keyword.

When you access your Synchronet message areas, you don't need to include a tearline and origin line, since sbbsecho appends that for you. Mystic does not do this, so you would need to use the "GROUP" keyword and set all of your Mystic areas to use a tearline and origin line - while NOT using those settings for your Synchronet message areas.

Your goldedareas.txt can define a group keyword for each message area with the "-g <group>" option added to each of those lines that define your message areas. I'm just not sure Mystic knows how to do that if/when it creates that file for you. So you would have to do it manually.
