Scenario:

I want to purchase and implement a chat program on our website ASAP.

 

We are getting ready to re-architect our entire user structure and I don't want to have to touch the chat program when we do.

 

What would be great:

Modify CuteChat so that when you enter a room instead of allowing anonymous it just reads a cookie with the username. I don't want it to validate against any existing system. I just want to be able to write a cookie anywhere on my domain called "ChatCookie" with a UserName="ThisUser" and when the user links directly to a chat room it checks the cookie, if it is there they are in the room with the name from the cookie, if it isn't they get redirected to a page of my choosing.

 

Is this at all possible? I want Cute Chate to maintain it's own SQL DB for the admin accounts, but I don't want to bother getting or validating other users from a different DB.

 

Also, the integration package doesn't appear to have a SQL file, do I need both the entire install package and the integration package?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

RyanL,

 

For the Direct Log In Mechanism, you have to tell CuteChat a few informations about your system, such as how to retrieve the Cute Chat database connection string, how to retrieve the unique identity of the current user, how to check the user is an administrator or not, how to retrieve all the user's unique names in the database.

 

Those are the basic information CuteChat need.

 

If it seems complicated to you, please download the CutePortal project. In the latest build of CutePortal, we removed forums and many files.

 

It only contains three DB tables: [Roles], [UserRole], [Users].

 

It is simple and clean.

 

Hope it helps.

 

>>Also, the integration package doesn't appear to have a SQL file, do I need both the entire install package and the integration package?

 

Please download the integration package again.
