Hello rmurray!
On 23 Aug 2024, rmurray said the following...
issues. However, I'm having trouble with another option I want to add. This option would allow me to display the content of a specific message base that I select. I don't want it to display only new messages; I
want to see both old, read messages and new ones. Even if there are no
Perhaps you could create a menu option that would execute the following actions:
1. (MG) Message group change (with the desired message group ID in the Data field)
2. (MA) Message area change (with the desired message base ID in the Data field)
3. (MI) Message Index Reader (with "e1" as Access String to only launch
if user has ANSI, and with "msg_index_custom" as Data to use a custom INI file)
4. (MR) Read messages (with "!e1" as Access String to only launch if user does NOT have ANSI, and with "R" as Data to read forward)
Then, for the indexed message reader, copy msg_index.ini to msg_index_custom.ini in the "text" directory of your theme (or the default theme) and edit msg_index_custom.ini to e.g. set all_groups = false, action_mode = 0 and no_index = true. (But maybe this will still show the area name and not dive directly into the messages... Hmm...)
Anyway, it might be a start. =)
Best regards
