  • Adding file areas to bbs

    From Khronos@1:103/705 to All on Wed Jan 17 11:28:40 2024
    Hi,
    Can I add file areas to a bbs in the same way through a .na file in the same way I do with message areas?

    Thanks,

    Yes, SCFG has an option to import a directory listing in FILEGATE.ZXX format. --

    I was able to add the micronet file areas list to my bbs inside of the main file area.
    Do I need to create a tickit entry for each of these areas in my bbs to allow files to be dropped into them?

    No, TickIt supports the "AutoAreas" option. See https://wiki.synchro.net/module:tickit#ctrl_tickitini for details.
