I just wanted the nickname as same as logged username, name of my file is chat.php & my code is:

Code: Select all

<?php
session_start();
define ('IN_SITE', 1);
include_once ('includes/global.php');
include_once ('includes/class_formchecker.php');
include_once ('includes/class_custom_field.php');
include_once ('includes/class_item.php');
include_once ('includes/class_shop.php');
include_once ('global_header.php');

(array) $user_details = null;
if ($session->value('user_id'))
{
   $user_details = $db->get_sql_row("SELECT * FROM
      " . DB_PREFIX . "users WHERE user_id=" . $session->value('user_id'));
}


if ($session->value('membersarea')!='Active')
{
   if ($session->value('user_id')) /* user inactive - redirect to account management page */
   {
      header_redirect('members_area.php?page=account§ion_management');
   }
   else
   {
      header_redirect('login.php?redirect=chat.php');

   }

}
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/chat/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Quick chat";
$params["nick"] = $session->value('user_id');// setup the intitial nickname
$params['firstisadmin'] = true;
//$params["isadmin"] = false; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on production servers ;)
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

   $chat->printChat();
include_once ('global_footer.php');
echo $template_output;
?>

You have the nick set up correctly, I can't tell you how to make your methods work though, especially since I have no idea what's going on with them. Try doing an echo on the nick method and check and see if it's correctly outputting?
