Thanks for the fast responses and support. A couple of things - 1 is more on the documentation side. I should have caught it originally during the install - but wasn't thinking and just followed the instructions. In the install wizard - when you select the integration portal/type - the pulldown for the database has 'dotnetnuke.dbo.' in there for the DNN solution. The wizard then uses this information and builds the web.config file. I had changed the name of my database a while back. The mis-identifications I was getting was because it was still pointing to the old database. Changing the <add key="CuteChatDotNetNukeOwnerPrefix" value= line to the correct database resolved that issue.
For what part of the user information is identified for the UserList - I modified the CuteChat.DotNetNukeLib -> SqlDataProvider.cs file. Originally it does the following query:
cmd.CommandText="select FirstName,IsSuperUser from "+OwnerPrefix+"Users where Username=@username ";
This effectively is pulling the firstname from the logged in user. I changed the query to:
cmd.CommandText="select Username,IsSuperUser from "+OwnerPrefix+"Users where Username=@username ";
to pull the logged in users username/handle. Rebuilt the solution and slapped the .dll in place. This works much better in my environment as that is how everyone knows each other.
Great work on the project. I look forward to continued testing over the next few days.
