Have installed this hack for SigmaChat but don't have the 'chat' link on our Forum Home Page.

- Edited chat.php and uploaded it into the root directory
- Added the templates into the Default set (which is currently still in use!) :disappointed:

Any common mistakes/misunderstandings over the instructions that I could have made?

ok, I bought the platinum addition and I can't get the auto login feature to work.
Please help me out, where do I set that?
Here is what I am calling from the chatbit template

<applet
codebase="http://client.sigmachat.com/current/"
code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip"
width=700 height=400 MAYSCRIPT>
<param name="room" value="xxxxxx">
<param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab">
<param name="username" value="$USERNAME">
<param name="password" value="$PASSWORD">
<param name="autologin" value="yes"
</applet>

And it always says invalid username & password, even though I am logged into my board.

Anybody have any ideas?

What problems are you having? Try re-uploading chat.php in ASCII mode. I hade a problem at first and that fixed it.

How much is the registered version and where is the info about it?

I assume that you've changed the x's in this line:

<param name="room" value="xxxxxx">

to the id of your chat room?

And thanks for the tip. Will try that one out later! ;)

yeah, the auto login doesn't work for me either. what happens is it displays the username of the user in the "name" field, but they can change it before they click login.

thats just wrong.

Well I am using the authorization script from Raidersoft so users still have to login as themselves and can't login in as anybody else unless they have the correct information, but I would really love the autologin feature to work.

Anybody have any ideas?

Absolutely fantastic!

Works like a charm :nervous:

I followed your example and got a raidersoft platinum chatroom. This is way better than phpMyChat and doesn't eat your bandwidth.

Anyone using Sigmachat beware. There is an easy way to get two usernames in the chat even when you do have auto-login enabled.

Try this and you will see...

Here it is...

1) You auto-log in to the chat room using this embedded chat script.
2) You then open a new browser window
3) The 2nd chat window auto-logs you in again and kicks the first user (as it's a duplicate)
4) The 1st user is kicked to the login page! Which just loads and sits there.
5) The 1st user then chooses another name and clicks login
6) You now have 2 users who are the same person!

To solve this:

Go to your SigmatChat control panel > URL Settings > and set an Exit URL

:)

Any way to get the raidersoft ice to auto login?
