set / change previous menu

[testoverride]

Is there a way to change the menu that you came from to mainMenu?

Example: I would like to be able to go to the message menu from the file menu but when i quit to main on the message menu, it would take you back to the main menu instead of the file menu which is the previous menu.

@testoverride Please see https://nuskooler.github.io/enigma-bbs/configuration/menu-hjson.html specifically around the menu flags. I think that should give you what you need. You can peek around some of the default menu layout for example usage.

not sure if those will help. I am trying to insert a quick login menu into the login sequence. If i use nohistory or popParent it will take me back to the login menu. I need a way to set the last menu to main menu instead of quicklogon menu when a person goes to another menu from the quicklogon menu otherwise they just go back to the quicklogon menu.

what are the available extraArgs that could be used?

I'm re-reading this again -- If you have say a mainMenu, a messageMenu, and a fileMenu with a link to the messageMenu from fileMenu, just action: @systemMethod:prevMenu. When going from main -> message, the prev is main. When going from file -> message, the prev is file.

For your quick login, create an alternate menu path:
quick -> "message" -> quickMessageMenu { quit to main = mainMenu }

where your standard messageMenu probably has quit to main = @systemMethod:prevMenu

that will work. I had wanted to minimize the additional menus, but it kind of follows how things currently work with the login screens vs main menu ones for oneliners / stats, etc...

my next step is to try to find some time to dive into the ACS setup and get a quicklogin.js for all the login configurable options.

i want the user to be able to select which items in the login process the user will see when doing a normal login and be able to disable everthing except the one that goes to the mainMenu.

Thanks for the replies.

I had wanted to minimize the additional menus some of the reference / shared fragment stuff may help you here.

Would love to see what you come up with for quicklogin.js! The AC for querying property values should help you here. Your mod can store user properties (ie: their selection) and use it in later logins.

cool. it will take me while since the log4shell vulnerability is killing us at work. I should get some free time to try to devote to learning the system and creating the quick login options. I want a check for everything that is in the current fullLoginSequence so a user can pick and choose what they want t o see when logging into the BBS.

as it gets closer i will open the BBS up to the public, but i got a lot to learn about enigma.
