New Message Creation Poasting

dpoast.js

Notes

Methods and properties used in the creation and writing of new poasts, por dios.

Layout

This is going to be a bit rough, I'm currently creating this by ripping errata that is cluttering up dmbase.js. So don't expect it to be pretty right away.

Current OO Structure

Sub-Objects

poast

Properties

• sprompt - save message prompt text

Methods

• dispNewMsgHdr() - self explanatory
• dispSaveMsgPrompt() - one again fairly self-evident
• addMsg() - primary method for text entry for a message into the active message base via ddoc interface; NOTE: This method is a bit of a monolith and should be broken up (see 2 below; has been)
• getTextBlob() - gets and returns the blob of text with maximum lines that the user adds; has the standard DOC interface save prompt
• getMsgBody() - handles saving the text returned from getTextBlob() when used in message base context; this maybe should be renamed
• mWrite() - writes the appropriate header and body data to the database y el fin; NOTE: This method has become a massive monolith and should be chopped into pieces mercilessly
• yell() - my first opportunity to work with the mail subsystem; took a little bit to get it figured out, but this is working now and will be an excellent prototype for the Mail> room/subsystem
