I'm having some js issues, I've searched the forums and google'd it and can't find a solution. Here's the issue:

I'm trying to run an animated pause js and yes/no bar js at various times, embedded in my other js scripts. I get the following error:

Via the telnet window I can see:
ERROR - Action: opening
object: external/anipause
access: 0

On my synch control panel it says the following:

!ERROR 2 [WinError 3] in exec.cpp line 586 opening "external/anipause" access=0

So...any ideas? :)

Relative paths are usually relative to the ctrl directory. You most likely want ../external/anipause or ../exec/external/anipause

Ok, I tried messing with the path settings, and it doesn't appear to be a path issue. Could those errors indicate anything else?

Error 2 is "file not found". Does the file anipause.* exist on your system? If so, what is the compelte filename and where is located?

Thanks for the help. Bare with me on this one :) Ispy gave me his old shell, and I'm trying to get it up and running fully before I shamelessly rip it off (hey at least I'm honest).

I have my Mods Directory set to ../phoenix_s3/telnet/. That is the dir with logon.js and login.js. There is also phoenix_s3/telnet/library, phoenix_s3/telnet/ansi, and phoenix_s3/external. From the library dir, there is a file being referenced, phoenix.external_library.js, which is loaded by the main shell. The full file/pathname of the anipause I'm referring to is as follows:

c:\sbbs\phoenix_s3\telnet\external\phoenix.anipause.js

Here's what I have:
if(do_animated_pause && (!(bbs.sys_status&SS_USERON) || (user.security.exemptions&UFLAG_O))) { bbs.replace_text(563,"@EXEC:external/phoenix.anipause@");

I have also tried ../external/phoenix.anipause to no avail. At one point I tried /sbbs/phoenix_s3/telnet/external/phoenix.anipause, and it seemed to be starting from /sbbs/exec. It gave the error finding c:\sbbs\exec\/sbbs/phoenix_s3/blah blah blah or something to that effect. Is there somethin I'm missing here?

Thanks again

Could it possibly be that he coded that whole shell for linux, and that all your slashes are backwards?

Or not, and you just didn't ../ from the /exec directory before moving to phoenix_s3, as tracker1 pointed out. :)

No, that isn't it. Synch translates either a / or \\ to a \ for pathnames in win32.

I run the Windows version of Synchronet and have used both types of slashes
in my JavaScript scripts, as well as the Synchronet configuration, and
haven't had any problems. It seems that it doesn't matter what shasles you use with Synchronet in either platform.

Synchronet will look in the mods directory *first*, and then if it can't find the file (or in this case, the relative path), then it'll look in the exec directory. I think the clue is the "exec\/sbbs" part, something is haywire. It appears something is trying load "sbbs/phoenix_s3/blah blah blah" based on
that error message.
