DDMsgAreaChooser fix for exiting immediately if the first message group has no sub-boards. Fixes #589

DD area choosers: Bug fix for current selected sub-board/file directory when using collapsing. Color settings no longer need the control character.

DD area choosers: Replaced hardcoded high-ascii single line character with a variable defining it via hex code (for the help screens)

DD area chooser fixes for lightbar mode: Numeric input (for file area chooser) and wording changes on numeric input (for both)

DD message area chooser only: Bug fixes for numeric input in lightbar mode and number of posts in traditional mode

Eric Oulashin authored 2 years ago and Rob Swindell committed 2 years ago

Message area chooser only: Made use of the 'posts' property for the number of messages (without vote headers)

Set the control key pass-thru so that some hotkeys (such as Ctrl-P for PageUp) only get caught by the scripts.

allowing the user to choose the file directory within their file library.

DD message area chooser: Updated to try to prevent the error "this.subBoardListPrintfInfo[pGrpIdx] is undefined" when only choosing a sub-board within the user's current message group.

DD message area chooser: Updated to try to prevent the error "this.subBoardListPrintfInfo[pGrpIdx] is undefined"

DD area choosers: For message sub-board/file directory collapsing, if there's only one sub-group/sub-library, then it won't be collapsed
DD area choosers v1.23: For message sub-board/file directory collapsing, if there's only one
sub-group/sub-library, then it won't be collapsed, as that wouldn't be very useful.

fixed a lightbar file directory choosing issue when using name collapsing
(was using the wrong data structure)

file directory and message sub-board lists for ones with common groups, adding a 3rd
tier of options.  For example, if you have the following file directory structure:
BBS files
  DOS: BBS software
  DOS: BBS doors
  DOS: BBS utilities
  Windows: BBS software
  Windows: BBS doors
  Windows: BBS utilities

With directory name collapsing, the selection will be come 3 tiers, as follows:
BBS files
  DOS
    BBS software
    BBS doors
    BBS utilities
  Windows
    BBS software
    BBS doors
    BBS utilities

Version 1.20: Now uses the DDLightbarMenu class for lightbar mode, and the internal lightbar code has been removed.  Requires the latest dd_lightbar_menu.js in sbbs/exec/load.

Version 1.18: The user can now search for message/file areas with CTRL_F or the / key.  In lightbar mode, it will highlight the first match, and in lightbar mdoe, the user can press N to go to the next match.  In the traditional interface, searching will list the matching items found (and in the traditional interface, the N for 'next search' is not applicable).

Version 1.17: For the message area chooser, added a new configuration file option, showDatesInSubBoardList, that specifies whether or not to show the date & time of the latest message in the sub-boards.

Version 1.16: Bug fix for off-by-one issue when there is a file group with no directories or a message group with no sub-boards

Version 1.15: Updated the definitions of the KEY_PAGE_UP and KEY_PAGE_DOWN variables to match what they are in sbbsdefs.js (if defined) from December 18, 2017 so that the PageUp and PageDown keys continue to work properly.  This script should still also work with older builds of Synchronet.

Version 1.14 - Fixed an issue in the message area chooser where it was calling a function that wasn't implemented.  I had copied & pasted some code and did not copy one of the required functions.

Version 1.13: Updated the message area chooser to show the number of readable messages rather than the actual total number of messages in the sub-boards (in case some messages are deleted, unverified, etc.)

Version 1.12: Updated the message area chooser to work better with Synchronet 3.17.  Null message headers seem to be more common with Synchronet 3.17 due to the message voting feature that was introduced in that version.

Updated the version to 1.11 for the official release with the bug fix related to page number update in the message group/flie library list

Bug fixes related to updating the page number on the screen for the message group/file libraries when using the up & down arrows to go to the next/previous page.  Also made a more general page number update fix for the file area chooser on the file library screen.

Updated so that when using the message written dates for the latest message dates, the written dates will be adjusted to the BBS's local time zone so that they are consistent.  Also changed the default option for the showImportDates in the configuration file to false so that it will show the when-written dates of the latest message.

Added the ability to display a custom header file above the area lists in the area choosers.  Added the configuration options areaChooserHdrFilenameBase and areaChooserHdrMaxLines to specify the filename (without the extension) and maximum number of lines from the header file to use.  These are still beta versions, but these should be ready for an official release soon.

Version 1.09: Added a command-line parameter to let the user choose a message sub-board only within their current message group, or file directory only within their current file library.

Digital Distortion Area Choosers - Message area & file area choosers for Synchronet with a lightbar interface.  For non-ANSI users, they will use a traditional (non-lightbar) interface; if desired, they can also be configured to use a non-lightbar interface for ANSI users.
