I am having a hard time getting my brain wrapped around how I can automatically log in my already logged in users.
I am not a .NET programmer, I am a ColdFuson programmer. I want to use this chat system, because it is very slick... The only people that can get to this chat application are users that are logged in. I carry their username and ID in a session variable and it's accessible at all times. I can create a cookie at login that i guess the chat can look to to log the user in? I do not understand the integration manual and what to do with it.
Since I already know that the user is logged in a good for the site, what is the easiest way to have the user join a chat with their username?
Basically I just want them to click a link, see the general chat room i setup and all of a sudden their username will appear on the right side.
Can this be done via cookie, i don't get that intergration routine and not sure if its really needed for this.
