Hi,
we try to integrate cutechat to our existing plattform...
we bought cutechat so there should be some better support than just those standard-answers in the forums and that laughable helpfile included in the package

We respect your work and its a fact that cutechat is the best chatsoftware for us BUT we have hard problems to bypass the login

we wrote a new dataprovider which fits for us, and made some workarounds like skipping the registration and so on
for now we get into the chat but a popup says "Account Information not found" its also not posible to send messages and there are no online users visible

Could you tell us whats wrong?
Is there any other authorization methode?
Does cutechat try to validate the users with the cutechatsample database?

We would be very grateful for any hints from your side. Of course we read all the forum threads but nothing seems to help...
It is very important for us that the chat is integrated into our plattform within a few days
We would appreciate any help from your side especially because we paid a lot of money for it.
Sincerely, janus@co

janus,

We respect your work and its a fact that cutechat is the best chatsoftware for us >> thanks for the nice comments.

>>we have hard problems to bypass the login

Does cutechat try to validate the users with the cutechatsample database?

A: No.

we wrote a new dataprovider which fits for us, and made some workarounds like skipping the registration and so on
for now we get into the chat but a popup says "Account Information not found" its also not posible to send messages and there are no online users visible

Please post your provider code here.

Maybe we can find the problem for you.

Otherwise we have no clue at all.

 

the dataproviders coming with cutechat are not useable for us because our portal is not basing on those, we coded an own in c#

we ere using internal only numbers/ids to verify users, could this make problems?
Here is the code for our Dataprovider:

janus,

Did you miss the following step?

---

Create a class which implements the IUserIdentityAdapter interface and name it SqlServerUserIdentityAdapter.

public class SqlServerUserIdentityAdapter : IUserIdentityAdapter 
{
}
To provide a complete implementation, we will need to provide overrides for the two methos of the SqlServerUserIdentityAdapter class as followings: 

public string GetCurrentUserUniqueName(HttpContext context) { 
    IIdentity iden=context.User.Identity; 
    if(iden==null||!iden.IsAuthenticated) 
       return null; 
    if(iden.Name==null||iden.Name.Length==0) 
       return null; 
    return iden.Name; 
}

public bool IsAdministrators(string useruniquename) { 
    using(IDataAccess da=ChatConfig.CreateDataAccess()) { 
       int userid=da.GetUserInternalId(useruniquename); 
       if(userid==0)
           return false; 
       DataRow row=da.SelectUser(userid); 
       if(row==null)
           return false; 
       return Convert.ToBoolean(row["isadmin"]); 
    } 
}

Adam,

thx for this, you were right, that adapter was missing

for now i try to implement it with a static return, i think this works but when i try to enter a room a popup says "Input string was not in a correct format"

i return a string called "globaladmin", first i thought "globaladmin_2" doesnt work cause the number but we need numbers after the loginname for uniquenames...

but it doesn't even work without numbers...

maybe you have a hint for this too

thx for trying to help

 

additional question: you mentioned earlier that you are working on version2, we bought cutechat, will there be any upgrade available or would we have to buy the second version for the full price? when will there be a release?
