here's some code i wrote for interbbs lastcallers. however, i keep getting the
INFO message that Passed absolute filename to FilePath:....

suggestions?


in bbs/menus/menusupp.cpp, in function void LastCallers(), right after the code
that displays the laston.txt file, add the following lines before the last
curly brace that ends the function:

// InterBBS Last Callers MOD
// will display "laston.txt" file if found in a network directory

  for (const auto& n : a()->nets().networks()) {
    char s1[180];
    sprintf(s1, "%slaston.txt", n.dir.c_str());
    if (File::Exists(s1)) {
        bout.printfile(s1);
        bout.pausescr();
        }
    }

// InterBBS Last Callers MOD ends here

You can write a last callers program for each network and generate a file named
laston.txt to place in the network directory. I currently have a python3 script
that does this for WWIVnet DATA and fsxNet DATA. It's still the same thing,
except I had to rewrite it from python 2 to python 3.
