Yeah, they are there, no ICQ.<br />

I am still not seeing the params in the applet... In your rchat.tmpl file you should have:<br /><br />[code]<br /><applet<br /> codebase="http://client.sigmachat.com/current/"<br /> code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip"<br /> width=600 height=350><br /> <param name="room" value="38360"><br /> <param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab"><br /> <param name="username" value="$Username"><br /> <param name="password" value="$Password"><br /> <param name="autologin" value="yes"><br /></applet><br /><br />Your rchat.php file should be populating the $Username and $Password variables.

Yep, that is what I have, the rchat.tmpl file is under templates/default

Ok... give me the link to your chat room again, using the rchat.php file.

http://coloradok5.com/chat.shtml

That link is a complete html page, right? Where are you calling rchat.php?<br /><br />You need a link that calls rchat.php, so it can do its work, and it will load in your rchat.tmpl file for you, which will show the chat applet.<br /><br />The html file is not using either of those is it?

Took that offline, and got it solved... just a minor problem in the rchat.php file.

Thanks again works saaweet. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My pleasure!

I'm using RaiderSoft chat integrated with Threads. In the chatroom, you can query another users IP (which is helpful for chatroom moderators if someone is causing trouble).<br /><br />This morning I had a user write to me about people using chat on a broadband connection, and how they were vulnerable to backdoor programs, trojans, and something called "ants" (which I've never heard of), if an unscupulous person goes into chat and finds out a users IP. She insists that the only people vulnerable are broadband users who are in chat, and that firewalls won't help. <br /><br />I have no idea what she's talking about. As my board is heavily moderated and chat is by "invitation only", I'm not worried about trouble. However, I'm afraid this user is going to start spreading rumours about the chatroom being unsafe.<br /><br />Can anyone explain to me what she's talking about, if it's true, and what I can do about it?

I see RaiderSoft sent out a upgrade notice for our Chats... whos online feature!! It appears to be a pay per use deal and can really add up for those of us with lots of hits.

I saw that too, Marty, but Josh has written a mod to do exactly this, and I have a couple of tweaks to it... you may want to check it out.

Yeah, it's probably better (and free) to use the who's online feature of threads. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Josh, did I ever send those over to you???

I dont' think so.<br /><br />I've been using my popup chat window.<br /><br />If you've got something different/better, feel free to post. I won't be offended. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It's a very popular request.. all this chat integration /chat who's online. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry, Josh... got my threads crossed. That comment was in relation to the Birthday Cron stuff...

Yes, you sent me that.... and the applied fixes worked. I reposted. Thank you. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Did anybody write up the chat ban script? Josh ? So I can single out single users. Everybody else is allowed except a few? I can make the user group just don't want to add everybody. Will look some more but didn't see it.

OK - create a user group - let's say it's group number 7. (You can find out with 'SELECT * FROM w3t_Groups' query).<br /><br />Add U_Groups into the authenticate call at the top of the chat script.<br /><br />Below that add:<br /><br />$Groups = $user['U_Groups'];<br /><br /><br /><br />Then add this:<br /><br />// Block if Banned from Chat<br />if (preg_match("/-7-/",$Groups)) { // adjust this group number if needed <br /> $html = new html;<br /> $html -> not_right('You are banned from the Chatroom.',$Cat);<br />} <br />
