Integrated-other-database

String

None

123 Flash Chat can integrate your existing user database, like that of your forum or portal system.

123 Flash Chat integrates phpBB, PHPNuke, PostNuke, AspNuke, etc.

A forum which doesn't have a database can not be integrated.

The modes of IntegratedOtherDatabases are:

None - not using an integrated database to authorize a user

Mysql - using a mysql database

Oracle - using an oracle database

ODBC - using ODBC DSN to connect a database

Common - using all kinds of databases, advanced setting

URL - using a web URL to authorize a user's login information.

Eg:

<IntegratedOtherDatabase mode="Mysql">

If it is set to "None", when a new user clicks "register", they will be registered in the chat room original register window

If set to "Mysql", "Oracle" or "common", then when a new user clicks "register", a new window will pop up and they will be directed to another URL which is pre-set in client.xml.

Auth-url

string

/

You can just leave it blank or even delete this line. It is only necessary when "integrated-other-database" is set to URL.

It means the URL you use to authorize your users must have two arguments. One is the %usename%, the other is the %password%.

Eg:

<auth-url>http://www.yourhost.com/login_chat.php?username= %username%&password=%password%</auth-url>

In this URL, " &amp;" means the character "&' in xml.

That is to say, when the user logs into your website by inputing their username "myname" and their password "mypassword", and click "chat" link or button, the chat server will visit

"http://www.yourhost.com/login_chat.php?username=

myname&password=mypassword"

in order to get the login information and will output numbers between 0 to 7, each with a different meaning.

0 - login successfully;
1 - wrong password;
2 - the username can't be used;
3 - login error, e.g. error in connecting database;
4 - username does not exist;
5 - successfully login as the administrator;
6 - guest login not allowed;
7 - username banned .

talk-interval

numbers

1000

This is the shortest pause ( in milliseconds) between two utterances.
This prevents screen flooding. Eg: 1000 = 1 second.

Kick-ban-timeout

numbers

15

Specifies a time period to ban a user's username and IP address after he has been 'kicked out'. Unit: minute
note: a user will only be banned from the current room but not from other rooms.
If you set it to "0", there's no "ban" accompanied with "kick".

Site-key

string

This is the code to validate your website. It must be the same as the siteKey value in client.xml, otherwise the client will not be able to connect to your chat server.

moderatorSeeIP

On/Off

Off

Enable the moderator users have permission to check others IP address.
