- SyncRegistry 1.7 Documention
- -\-\-\-\-\-\-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
-
- If you got this with SyncChat, you may be wondering, "What the hell is
- this?!". Well, this is the doc for SyncRegistry. SyncChat works hand in
- hand with SyncRegistry to provide users with an awesome user registry and
- allows your users to access it while they are chatting!
-
- Since SyncRegistry is pretty small and simple, these docs will be short.
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- First off, SyncRegistry was made to be used with SyncChat, but it can also be
- run as a stand alone registry. Obviously, its best to run it with SyncChat
- AND as a stand alone registry. That way, your users can look up profiles
- while they are in SyncChat or while they are in other areas of your BBS!
-
- NOTE: If you ALREADY have installed SyncChat 1.9 or greater, SyncRegistry
- is already installed! (You may, however, wish to look over this file to be
- able to run SyncRegistry outside of SyncChat - i.e. at logon).
-
- 1. If you want to use this with SyncChat AND stand alone, copy the file
- "SYNCREG.EXE" into your SyncChat directory (i.e. C:\SBBS\XTRN\SYNCCHAT).
- (You may also want to copy SYNCREG.DOC here too).
- 2. If you want to run SyncRegistry just as a stand alone registry, make a
- separate directory for it (i.e. C:\SBBS\XTRN\SYNCREG). Copy all files
- you just unziped into this directory.
- 3. For Synchronet BBS Software:
- Here are the settings in SCFG for SyncRegistry:
-
- ╔[■][?]════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

- | ║ │Time Options... ║
- | ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- |
- \----- This directory could also be your SyncChat directory. (See below)
-
- For Other BBS Software:
-
- Command Line: SYNCREG [node_dir]
-
- Ex: SYNCREG C:\BBS\NODE1
-
- Set up your BBS software so it generates a DOOR.SYS file in [node_dir]
-
- Use this sample batch file (Change paths as needed obviously):
-
- --[SYNCREG.BAT]--
- C:
- CD\DOORS\SYNCREG
- SYNCREG C:\BBS\NODE%1
- --[SYNCREG.BAT]--
-
- That's it!
-
- Ignore the rest of these installation instructions if you are not using
- Synchronet BBS Software.
-
- 4. If SyncRegistry is installed with SyncChat, obviously, just change the
- Start-up Directory to whatever your SyncChat directory is
- (i.e. C:\SBBS\XTRN\SYNCCHAT).
- 5. You don't need to do anything special for SyncChat to use SyncRegistry,
- it automatically installs.
- 6. I recommend you edit your \SBBS\EXEC\LOGON.SRC (Add this to the end):
-
- compare_ars rest G or rest X or local
- if_false
- no_yes \1h\1yDo you want to enter \1cSyncRegistry\1b
- if_false
- exec_xtrn syncreg
- end_if
- end_if
-
- Now your users will be able to enter SyncRegistry and add their profiles
- (or look up profiles) when they logon!
- 7. You're done!

- for something like this!
