Terry,

thanks a lot for your reply.

 

I am still having problems due to the fact that I the changes are not reflected in the database. 

 

As I understand this, correct me if I'm wrong, the users get added to CuteChat4_User table if they haven't been added yet. When friends list is populated, the chages go into the Buildincontacts field of the same table.  I get a test user appear as a friend in the IM contacts in Offline section. When I delete both users from the CuteChat4_user table, the friend still appears in offline after a recompile as if the data is stored in a completely different place.

 

If possible, could you please explain the algorithm of what happens when CuteChat is first initialized with an identity. Does it get stored in the database at that point?

 

When a list of friends is added, where are the nicknames picked from. 

 

What I'm trying to achieve is pretty simple (since I come in with an authenticated user and need to display other users (logged in within last 30 minutes) in the friend list.

 

I was able to do this in the previous version by adding or modifying records directly in the CuteChat tables.

 

Thanks for your help.
