 Ri> From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

 Ri> Need some help with changing the default splash screen in telnet window on
 Ri> the web interface.


 Ri> According to wiki, by default it points to ../text/synch.asc

First of all, does it work with the default screen named "../text/synch.ans"

; Path to a .ans file to use as the ftelnet splash screen
    ftelnet_splash=../text/synch.ans


 Ri> I tried both replacing the synch.asc with my modified file (did not change
 Ri> on web page), and also adding:

 Ri> [web]
 Ri> ftelnet_splash = ../text/tvri.ans
 Ri> (also tried ..\text\tvri.ans as it is a Windows host)

Did you shut down the web page, then reopen it with the new default everytime you made a change. This has to be done.

Also, did you try renaming your ansi file to splash.ans. You should not have to, but it's worth a shot to narrow down a problem. I'm running two spash screens over here, and the sring works. ( that requires some modding however)

 Ri> ...but the moment I add this change to ..\ctrl\modopts.ini the web server
 Ri> throws an error:

 Ri> !JavaScript c:\sbbs\webv4\root\index.xjs.ssjs line 6: Error: can't open
 Ri> undefined/lib/init.js: No such file or directory

I think that is due to changing the default without restating your browser. I found out the hard way, webv4 needs to be restarted (closed, then reopened) before changes will work. 

 Ri> Removing the lines fixes it. So how can I change this splash screen and if
 Ri> the default file/location is correct how come editing the file does
 Ri> nothing? 

try shutting down the the web page in your browser, then going back into it.
