Replacing startup flashchat logo

[lewism]

I've seen that others have replaced their 123flashchat logo when one enters into chat.
Can you tell me how I can do ahead and do this please.

Thanks.

You can add init_loading_bk to your chat link to change loading logo.

you can refer to
Chat Client Parameters - User Manual of 123 Flash Chat Server Software Version 9.1

check init_loading_bk

Thank you very much for the timely reply. I will go look at that.

The loading logo format:
http://<your chat ip url>/123flashchat.swf?init_loading_bk=http://www.123flashchat.com/img/screenshot.jpg

http://www.123flashchat.com/img/screenshot.jpg
this is the picture url, so change the url to your own logo.

For example, my current main URL to send users to chat is; index.php?option=com_chat&view=chat
So how would I change the logo for that?

Is this something I would need to add to any URL links I make to the server? Isn't there another way because that would get complicated. In other words, isn't there a file on the server itself I could add or change?

I tried changing the joomla FS settings and tried;
"http://www.mydomain.com:35555/123flashchat.swf?init_loading_bk=http://www.mydomain.com/images/flashstart-logo.png/"

But that didn't work so where do I do this and can it be done globally instead.

It needs to change the source code, and about the joomla chat moudle, the chat code is get from the file view.html.php, and you can find there is a parameter $url, please change the code from

$url = $cfg->client_location . $clientname . "?init_host=" . $server_host . "&init_port=" . $server_port . "&init_lang=" . $cfg->client_lang;

to

$url = $cfg->client_location . $clientname . "?init_host=" . $server_host . "&init_port=" . $server_port . "&init_lang=" . $cfg->client_lang."&init_loading_bk=http://www.123flashchat.com/img/screenshot.jpg";

client_lang."&init_loading_bk

Is there supposed to be a space or something else between the . and the two items?
I've tried as you suggest and with spacing but neither seems to make any difference.

Kinda confusing folks.
You've told me something, support told me two different things. The last one I was told about did the trick but I don't know which is best to use.

The solution I was last given was;

//
If you want to do this by yourself, please go to your site document path<component>\com_chat\site\views\chat\tmpl

and change the parameter in these files:

<?php echo $this->chaturl; ?>

to

<?php echo $this->chaturl; echo'&init_loading_bk=http://www.teasingyou.com/images/flashstart-logo.png';?>

Then you will see your integrated chat loading background will be changed, thanks.

Does it only need to be changed in default_flash.php

Both of these methods are correct, you can use anyone of them.

Method 1:

It needs to change the source code, and about the joomla chat moudle, the chat code is get from the file view.html.php, and you can find there is a parameter $url, please change the code from

$url = $cfg->client_location . $clientname . "?init_host=" . $server_host . "&init_port=" . $server_port . "&init_lang=" . $cfg->client_lang;

to

$url = $cfg->client_location . $clientname . "?init_host=" . $server_host . "&init_port=" . $server_port . "&init_lang=" . $cfg->client_lang."&init_loading_bk=http://www.123flashchat.com/img/screenshot.jpg";

Method 2:

//
If you want to do this by yourself, please go to your site document path<component>\com_chat\site\views\chat\tmpl

and change the parameter in these files:

<?php echo $this->chaturl; ?>

to

<?php echo $this->chaturl; echo'&init_loading_bk=http://www.teasingyou.com/images/flashstart-logo.png';?>

Then you will see your integrated chat loading background will be changed, thanks.

I understand now, thanks.

However, does it only need to be changed in default_flash.php
