[Jacoba]

Heres everything is gives me....


Heres my liink:
<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com --><iframe title="150432" src="http://www.shoutmix.com/?150432" width="100%" height="460" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com/?150432">View shoutbox</a></iframe><!-- End ShoutMix -->


Integration Setup

If you have website with existing userbase, you can easily setup your shoutbox to use data from your userbase. With integration, only members logged in at your site can view and use your shoutbox.

Getting started

This section is meant for advanced users only.

To get the integration working, you simply need to pass two parameters via GET request, appended at the end of your shoutbox URL.

Example
...utmix.com/?150432&name={name}&code={code}
The variables needed to be passed and their explanations are as follow:

{name}
Member name to be passed onto the shoutbox.
{code}
MD5 value of {name} + {unique code}, to verify that user is coming from your site.
{unique code}
The unique security code for your shoutbox is XXXXX (change?)
An example of how the shoutbox would be called with the name tester:

Example
...com/?150432&name=tester&code=b4d90dff400d8a88cd723712a da33f40
... where b4d90dff400d8a88cd723712ada33f40 is MD5(XXXXX).

After setup, be sure to set your access control to Integrated mode for this to work.

Optional: To ensure that user logout is synchronized, include a small <iframe> code with the following URL on the logout page on your website:

URL
http://www1.shoutmix.com/?150432&logout
Access Control

PHP Function

If you're using PHP, you can add the following function to your script for quick integration. The function will produce correct parameters to be appended at the end of your shoutbox URL.



Then alter your shoutbox HTML codes by adding the following codes (after your shoutbox URL):

Example
...mix.com/?150432<?=shoutmix($name);?>" width="...
Replace $name with the variable that holds the name of your member, as retrieved from the database.
