I'd like to purchaser the chat software, but without the script to integrate it it would be useless to me.

I just downloaded and installed and appears to wrok great. I am having one problem though I believe it's a configuration error or someting...

I'm getting. "Applet Halted. This chat room is closed." I will be contacting RaiderSoft about this.

Edit: I just tried their link from their site to open the chat-room and it logged me in fine. What setting do I need to change in order for it to load through my forum?

I tempoarily changed the link in the navbar to reflect that which Raidersoft provided, but I don't want to leave it this way as it's not how the hack is intended to be installed, and It won't allow for the "Who's Chatting" to work.

cause u need to enter ur code in the file.

[68 Z-28]

I did enter my chat room code.

I just went in and dropped the SC- from the chat code and it appears to work. wierd.

Does this integration script prevent guests from chatting? I don't want guests to chat.. I just want registered users in there. I logged out and was still able to go into the chat room and chat. It automatically logged me in as my registered forum username, even though I wasn't logged in to the forum software.

That's perfectly fine. I just don't want guests being able to chat under a 'guest' name. How does this work?

It would be nice if the link to the chat room in the navbar wasn't there for guests to see if they aren't logged in. Is this possible?

[Bryan Ex]

It's completely configurable as to which usergroups have access so yes, you can prevent guests from using chat.

To have the link appear only for registered users just add
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']"> before the link and </if> after it.

I noticed that as well, that even when logged out it will log you into chat under the last username you were logged in as.

My question: Will it not do user authentication if you are using it embedded into another webpage? I have tried this an every time you try to login (even typing in the username/pw) it tells you that the un/pw is invalid).
