Message Conferences & Areas

Message Conferences and Areas allow for grouping of message base topics.

Message Conferences

Message Conferences are the top level container for 1:n Message Areas via the messageConferences section in config.hjson. Common message conferences may include a local conference and one or more conferences each dedicated to a particular message network such as FidoNet, AgoraNet, etc.

Each conference is represented by a entry under messageConferences. The areas key is the conferences tag.

name (required): Friendly conference name
desc (required): Friendly conference description
sort (optional): If supplied, provides a key used for sorting
default (optional): Specify true to make this the default conference (e.g. assigned to new users)
areas: Container of 1:n areas described below

Example:

{
  messageConferences: {
    local: {
      name: Local
      desc: Local discussion
      sort: 1
      default: true
    }
  }
}
