How to add a switch/toggle in wwivconfig
====[ xenos@aliens.ph - 26 December 2025]======================================

1) Define what you want to have a switch for in sdk/config.h

in lines 54-onwards:

struct system_toggles_t {
bool lastnet_at_logon{false};
bool show_chain_usage{false};

// ADD YOUR TOGGLE VARIABLE HERE;
// example: bool variable_name{default};
// default is true or false, I suggest using false as default
};

2) Add to sdk/config_cereal.h so we can save it

template <class Archive> void serialize(Archive& ar, system_toggles_t& n) {
SERIALIZE(n, lastnet_at_logon);
SERIALIZE(n, show_chain_usage);

// ADD A SERIALIZE OF NEW VARIABLE HERE;
// SERIALIZE(n, variable_name);
SERIALIZE(n, variable_name);

}

3) Add to wwivconfig/toggles.cpp

Add following lines:

++y;
items.add(new Label("Thingy we wanna toggle:"),
new BooleanEditItem(&t.variable_name),
"Variable name toggle here", 1, y);

4) You can reference the switch/toggle as:

if (a()->config()->toggles().variable_name) {
// do something if variable_name is true
};
