I've been planning on creating the authentication module for the paid version and FusionBB too.

Monkeyra is running the Profession Sigma Chat Package using the same code.

Thanks to Nikos, I will be adding a record in the site permissions table.

Yeah, this is something I discovered tonight.

I've just upgraded to the professional version, and you then get extra options and stuff.
One of the is to disallow guests (at the moment, all members using this modification are logged in as a guest, I think the modification just pulls the display name as uses it for the guest name.

When I disallowed guest login's, none of my members could login, lol.

So yeah, actually using permissions from fusionbb would be brilliant, would allow the chatroom to be much more secure

Slight edit to make the page open in a new window

Code:

// Setup the my menu link



list($tabopen,$tabclose) = $this -> createNavTab('chat');



$template->setTemplateVar("CHAT","$tabopen<a href='http://www.yourdomain/yourfolder/sigma_chat.php' target='_blank'>Chat Room</a>$tabclose");

If you want the popup window to be fixed in size you need to use the following code for the hyperlink part of the menu item.

Code:




<script type='text/javascript'>function OpenChat(){window.open('http://domain.com/forum/sigma_chat.php','','left=10,right=10,width=700,height=500');}</script><a href='javascript: OpenChat()'>Chat Room</a>

Yip, sorry Daddy, mine too, only saw the last 3 numbers, so I deleted the post, sorry, should have left it.

I now have it on the site but when I click on the chat link I get....

www.yourdomain.com could not be found. Please check name and try again.

But I cant find where to check the name about.

Do you know.

Check that the top of sigma_chat.php and make sure it says

define('NO_SIDEBAR',1);
define('NO_ORIGIN',1);

I had that problem with the chat once, let me have a think.

Yip, both lines there

    In response to Liahona

The chat works only if I replace

This in the chat.php
<applet>

<applet applet text from your chat.php>

</applet>


WITH this correct text from the sigma site
<applet>

<applet applet text from your chat.php>

</applet>

(dont know if I can show the text or not?


So it does work just not integrated.
So it sticks at either
<!--ROOM_NUMBER-->
<!--USER_NAME-->
<!--AUTO_LOGIN-->

Posting for anyone who might still want to use this since I was installing it myself today. Btw, I really like this.

The applet problem in chat.php is one character

This line:

Code:

<applet codebase="http://client0.sigmachat.com/current/"

Should be this:

Code:

<applet codebase="http://client1.sigmachat.com/current/"

Also there is a typo in sigmachat.php here:

Code:

$lang_str['sigma_chat_haeder']  = "RaiderSoft Java Chat";

Should be:

Code:

$lang_str['sigma_chat_header']  = "RaiderSoft Java Chat";
