If the command to rlogin direct-to-door is "xtrn=<internal code>" does the
command to logon to menu differ? I get a !JavaScript logon.js line 67:
Error: Invalid external program specified if I try with xtrn= so im
guessing yes. If anyone has the wiki link i would be greatful. thanks all.

Set rlogin_xtrn_menu=true in the [logon] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file and then don't pass *anything* for the Rlogin terminal value and the client will be directed to the external program menu. https://wiki.synchro.net/module:logon

Got it, thanks. I was trying to land at a spicific sub-door menu.

Digital Man, is it possible to rlogin to an xtrn sub-menu?
(i.e. xtrn main(option 1 in xternal menu)) Instead of loading a direct external program or going to the main xtrn_sec menu.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Okay, I just added to logon.js to the ability to pass an external program *section* code via "xtrn_sec=<code>" in the RLogin terminal field. Give that a try.

Just added, but use the internal code for the external program section (not the number, which could be different for different users) and the syntax for the Rlogin terminal field is "xtrn_sec=<code>".

Sure. It was a pretty trivial change, but admittedly, I didn't really test it, so your feedback on how it's working (or not working) would be appreciated.

Amazing, thank you so much. I landed in the door menu in question! So cool. I have more testing to do but for an update, i was presented with a logon.ans, bulletins and a login mod but landed at my menu and was logged off after I [Q]uit. My command: ?rlogin x-bit.org:5130 -p -P -q -t xtrn_sec=OPMAPS

Thank you again DM.

I have some more testing to do. It worked, but I have a moded logon.js as I am using this on my Synchronet door game only server, not my Synchronet BBS.
The mod I made gives the users a y/n option when you hit (q) or (enter) from the xtrn main menu. This way it asked are you sure you want to quit/log off, since by default if you hit enter or q you are exited out/logged off.

Myself and users would hit enter accidentally and then have to log back in. The mod I added from you puts what I did in a one-time loop.
i.e. If I select (y) to logoff, it brings me back to the xtrn menu, I can hit (q) again and when I select (y) the second time I am logged out.
But, that has to do with what I did.

When I figure out (as I am very newb with JavaScript) what I need to do on my end, I will give you a full run-down in explanation. I believe xbit has some more testing to do as well. But, you gave us a great starting point which we could not fugure out beforehand.

Thank you,

After some time reviewing and as i posted it works great. Callers will enter the door menu if xtrn_sec=<internal code> is used.

Testing did show that a number of items where shown in the process like logon.ans, bulletins, execute on even (i use for oneliners), etc. The command i use for the connecting side is:
?rlogin domain:port -p -P -q -t xtrn_sec=<internal code of menu>

Any think i can check or something i'm doing wrong to bypass the login items?

Again, thank you DM. Pretty amazing updates.

I just added an option you can enable to add a prompt for log-off, if you want to use that:

You weren't doing anything wrong, that's just how that option has always worked. I did just commit an option you can enable in your modopts.ini file however: set 'rlogin_xtrn_logon = false' in the [logon] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file (after updating logon.js to the latest).

I may have shown up too late, the link shows a 404. My apologies, I decided to go back to college in my 40's for some strange reason....lol and I am in a real PITA class at the moment.

I tried and of course could not correct my loop issue. Is there anyway you could share the change you made for the yes/no option? I appreciate your help DM!
