USING INSIGHT PLUGINS
*********************

Once you have registered your Insight plugins you will be given a registration number.

If you have run an Insight plugin for the first time a file is created in your windows directory called insight.ini, this is where you add your registration number. 

An example insight.ini is shown below. 

Each plugin zip has a text file explaining how to use it. For more information contact your plugin vendor or email chris@insight-media.co.uk

List of currently available Insight plugins
*******************************************

ALLFILES - List allfiles on your BBS and allows users to tag them from one location

BATCHIT - Allows you to chain all those startup plug-ins
from one action.  You can add a time delay between each plug-in to
ensure smooth execution.

CHECKEXP - informs the user when they have 10 or less days
left on their account.  Once the account has expired, the plug-in will set or clear a sysop specified flag.  You can then use the flag to do whatever you wish with the user.

DINGDONG simply announces who has just logged on/off your system to the other users.  It displays this message in the users Excalibur terminal status bar, allowing uninterrupted use of the system. DINGDONG will also play a different wave file when a user logs on and off the system.

The GLOBAL download plug-in allows the user to select file for download using the file ID's.  The user could obtain these file ID's from the generated Allfiles lists.

HOLA - split screen pager - freeware

KEYWORD is a full blown File Keyword Searcher and New Files Lister.
It allows the user to search the file descriptions, both short and long, to give them a list of files containing the entered text.  The user can download and preview the resulted files, whilst the search still continues. The download flag for the conferences and libraries are taken into account and the keyword searcher will not search the conferences and libraries that the user does not have download access to. There is a New Files command, that lists the files that have been uploaded since the user last logged on. This option does not search through libraries which are on CD.

MAILCHECK plug-in checks the users newmail flag and informs the user if they have mail.  The user is also given the option to read the mail now or leave it until later.

SCRPASS allows you to chain a user to a particular screen upon entering a password.  You can define up to 10 passwords, each one chaining to it's own defined screen.  You may set the number of unsucessfull attempts a user may have before appropriate action is taken, which is either instant disconnect or chaining to a predefined screen.

The TAGDISP plug-in from Insight Media allows you to display random messages to users.  The messages are selected from a sysop selected file.

 TODAYS plug-in generates a todays callers file.  When a user logs onto your BBS, they are added to the list.  The list is in bulletin format and can be viewer with the bulletin view action from Excalibur. On the start of a new day, the todays callers file becomes a list of yesterdays callers.  The format of the list can be configured.

WHATDAY plug-in sets a flag depending on the current day. The flags are named as the days, so if a user logs on on Monday, then he will have a flag called monday.  You can use these flags to perform day specific tasks.

WHOSON plug-in from Insight Media, lists the users currently on line and also informs the user if they have local mail waiting, giving the option to read it now.  The host's local time is displayed along with the information.
