Hi,

 

We want to use the chat system in anonymous mode but are not happy with the anonymous user name as allocated. Can you tell me where this is set up so that I can adjust it to one of our choosing?

 

Thanks in advance!

Gerard,

 

The guest name format is hardcoded.

 

To achieve this, you have to modify the source code.

 

Can you tell me what kind of format you want to change to?

 

We will make it adjustable in the coming new version.

However it does seem possible to change the name once it has been set up by the system by altering code in Chatui.js and this change seems to remain attached to that user throughout that session.

 

I guess that means if I play enough I'll be able to get round the allocated name.

I have managed to do this now by changing a line in the script file chatclient.js (in the scripts folder). I then call my embedded chat page with a couple of parameters:

 

For example:

 

 

Then in chatclient.js

 

I have altered the code in Function Connect(placename) so that the following line

 

 

now reads as

 

 

This results in the User name appearing as Steve. Obviously you can provide any alternate user name instead of my 'Steve' example.

 

 

Hope that this helps other people wishing to change the name too.
