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!
