Command Codes

Display a Location

13

Show a location (if it's an individual message, it's shown in context).

Command Code 13 does essentially the same thing code 14 does - displays a location - but if it's a link to a specific message in a discussion, the message is shown in context. That is, the message immediately preceding the linked-to message will be the top one on the page. In certain situations, command code 13 also allows you to bypass the "show login form once for all users" setting.

Example: http://your.domain.com/webx?13@@.ee6b9d8/34.

14

Show a location.

Use this code to link to a folder or discussion within Web Crossing from another web page.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?14@@/Books or http://your.domain.com/webx?14@@.ee6b9d8.

Add a slash and a number to display a specific message number in a discussion.

Example: http://your.domain.com/webx?14@@.ee6b9d8/34.

Show Login Form

15

Show a login form, then use the actionPath to perform the original command.

This code shows a login form, and when the user submits the form, it takes them to the location specified in the actionPath. This might be useful to put on the front page of your site to link to the content within in a situation where you want users to log in before entering.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?15@@14@/Books to login, then go to the /Books folder.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?15@@14@.ee6b9d8.

Process Your Login Form

23

Process a login form, then use the actionPath to perform the original command.

If you build your own login form, use this as the form action. It will log the user in and take them directly to the location you specified in the actionPath.

For example, use http://your.domain.com/webx?23@@14@/Books to login, then go to the /Books folder.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?23@@14@.ee6b9d8.

Show Registration Form

18

Show registration form, then use the actionPath to perform the original command.

This code is useful for a sub-area of your site, where you want users to register and go directly to the sub-area without getting "lost" in your other content. It's similar to code 15, but shows a registration form instead of login.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?18@@14@/Books to register, then go to the /Books folder.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?18@@14@.ee6b9d8.

Process Your Registration Form

20

Process registration, then use the actionPath to perform the original command. For example, webx?20@@14@/Books to register, then show the /Books folder.

If you build your own registration form (using the variables Web Crossing is expecting to see, plus any of your own custom user variables you want - see the section on creating custom user variables for more information), you'll need to use this for your form action.

For example: http://your.domain.com/webx?20@@14@.ee6b9d8.

Check Subscriptions

38

Check subscription list -- check for new messages.

This checks the subscription list and functions as the Check Subscriptions button does.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?38@@.

Show Sysop Control Panel

59

Show Sysop Control Panel [sysop only]. The optional parameter is the location to return to when the sysop goes back into the conference by clicking the Conference button at the bottom of the Control Panel.

This code gets the sysop into the Sysop Control Panel, assuming the user is logged in as sysop.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?59@@/Books.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?59@@.ee6b9d8.

Show Login Form for Sysop - (use if buttons are missing)

94

Show login form for sysop [sysop only, internal use]. The optional parameter is the action path to perform after the login.

This login form has a login HTML form button as opposed to the Login graphic button. Thus it's useful for logging in if your images pathway is set incorrectly and you don't get a graphic to click on, and thus can't log in otherwise.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?94@@90@1. (This example has an optional action path that turns on Web Crossing logging - see sysop docs for more information).

Reset the File Cache

99

Reset the html file cache, and reload webx.tpl [sysop only]. The optional parameter is the location of where to return the sysop to the conference.

Use this to create a link for the sysop to reset the file cache without having to go to the Sysop Control Panel to get there. This link won't function unless the user is logged in as sysop, so hide it somewhere where only sysop will see it.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?99@@/Books.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?99@@.ee6b9d8.

Process Entry into Chat Room

196

Process entry into a chat room.

Use this to create a manual "door" to a chat room. A user who clicks on this link will be taken to the chat room screen and the applet will load, assuming he or she has access to the room.

For example, http://your.domain.com/webx?196@@/Chat%20Central.

Or http://your.domain.com/webx?196@@.ee6b9d8.
