Cannot force nicknames in beta 10

[lackattack]

When I set the nick and set frozen_nick to true, the first person to enter pfc has no problem. However, when more people enter for some reason pfc attempts to change their nicks to the 1st person's nick. So everyone gets "Choosen nickname is not allowed" and cannot enter the chat utill that 1st person leaves or I rehash. I downgraded to beta 9 which does not have this problem.

Here are my parameters:

Code: Select all

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__);
$params["theme"] = "phpbb2";
$params["title"] = "Live Chat";
$params['channels'] = array('Callouts','Social');
$params["nick"] = $_GET['u'];
$params["frozen_nick"] = true;
$params["debug"] = true;
$params["max_nick_len"] = 16;
$params["refresh_delay"] = 2000; // 2000ms = 2s
$params["height"] = "350px";

Here is the debug when the 1st person (lackattack) enters the chat:

Code: Select all

Here is the debug when the 2nd person (rabin) enters the chat:

lackattack, sorry for the delay.

I think I found why you have problems.
This is due to the fact nicknames are assign by url ( $_GET['u'] ). To fix this problem you should have to fix the "server_script_url" parameter to the basic url without the "u" parameter :

$params["server_script_url"] = "./index.php";

Keep me informed if it works.

[lackattack]

Yes, that works!

Thanks so much Stéphane. I am now using phpFreeChat (beta 11) on my live site and so far, so good.

I had the same problem, this fixed it as well.

But now I have a new problem getting:
Missing parameter (/join {channelname})

$params["nick"] = $_GET['nick'];
$params["server_script_url"] = "index.php";
$params["channels"] = array($_GET['channel']);
$params["frozen_channels"] = array($_GET['channel']);
$params["frozen_nick"] = true;
$params["title"] = "ONM chat";
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["data_private_path"] = "/dana/data/onm/phpfreechat_data";
$params["btn_sh_whosonline"] = false;
$params["btn_sh_smileys"] = false;
$params["showsmileys"] = false;
$params["max_msg"] = 0;
$params["height"] = "190px";
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

This worked on the version prior to beta10.

Instead of passing your settings with $_GET, try putting them in $_COOKIE. Then you won't need to set server_script_url.

Still a bug.
