that way i only get to change true or false. Thanks in advance

<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Lobby";
$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000); // setup the intitial nickname
$params['firstisadmin'] = false;
//$params["isadmin"] = false; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on production servers

$params["serverid"] = md5(__Lobby__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

insert somewhere after $params["title"] = "Lobby";

this code
$params['admins'] = array('admin' => 'password');

if you want few admins in your chat insert this $params['admins'] = array('admin' => 'password', 'admin2' => 'password', 'admin3' => 'password3');

of course change words "admin" to the nick you want to be admin, and password to your or password.
then in chat room send write /rehash and then /identify password

for nicks, if you want stop members to change nicks, go to

src/pfcglobalconfig.class.php

then find

var $frozen_nick = false;

change false to true to forbid nick changes

Hi,

You shouldnt edit any php class in the script,
Only in the index.php

like so:

$params['frozen_nick'] = true;

and then rehash , that will certainly disable the ability for user to change their nick.

regards.

Thank you both for your help, i was finally able to log in as admin, however after changing the frozen nick to true and rehased, i got folded with not sure if it was virus, (user #s changing nick,over and over) when i was the only one there. i had to remove and reinstall to stop that issue. maybe i did it wrong.

Also iam trying to force users to enter a nickname and gender only instead of the random guest numbers, what line should i change from this? i have tried removing nick,guest and setup the int nickname, still cant get it to work
$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000); // setup the intitial nickname

Also what comands do i need to hide the date and time from being displayed? thanks in advance

Frozen nick + random nick wont work. Frozen nick automatically makes the parameter dynamic, meaning it reads the paramter on each call instead of caching. When it does that, it's looking at the nick parameter, and since that includes a random number, the number is different each time.

But, it seems you're getting rid of that, so no worries. Simply remove the nick parameter line all together, rehash the chat, and you should have what you wanted.

how do i set up the chat?
