How to disable commands for users that login to phpFreeChat

How to disable commands for users that login to phpFreeChat

Could you be more specific? Your request is a bit vague.

Is there a way to make it so that new public users automatically generate their own channel, and cannot see any sort of a channel list?

Please post a detailed how-to for how to log in as administrator

1. Set your parameters as follows:


$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Quick chat";
$params["nick"] = ""; // setup the intitial nickname to request one each time
$params['firstisadmin'] = false;
$params["isadmin"] = false; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on producti$
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$params["max_msg"]=0; //Clears the chat history each time you exit
$params["admins"]= array("admin" => "password"); //sets the admin username and password to admin and password
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

2. Issue the /rehash command

3. Enter the chat room

4. Enter the nickname "admin"

5. In the chat text entry box type "/identify password"

Below the chat text entry box, a banner will appear indicating that you have been successfully identified.


I'm asking for this because it took me a substantial amount of time to figure this out (a couple of hours) after reading the quickstarts. I found it by digging through the forums.

Thanx!

Is this safe?

Code: Select all

$params["admins"]= array("admin" => "password"); //sets the admin username and password to admin and password

No one will see the password I type there?

No,

unless you web server doesn't parse PHP, it will output as text.

Great!

Thanks a lot. You have been very helpful for all my questions.

This is geting interesting... I'm starting to fall in love with this. If this chat can handle busy rooms (around 50 simultaneous users) on a i7 dedicated server, this is definitely what I have been missing for a long time

I already have made some smiley modification and will be sharing it soon (if it's not yet in the collection). YM! Emoticons pack coming up

How to: Upload the files on the Webspace? It´s not allowed to write in the directory of the Chat programme.

So I can download the index.php but when I want to upload the customized file it shows it is not allowed to write in the directory on the webspace.

If I don´t like the Navigation seen by everyone, I can just throw it out?
How to give Administration rights (kick, ban) and how to use them?
How to give Moderation rights (kick, ban) and how to use them?

I installed the programme in a new directory on the Webspace (it created the directory automatically) but can´t upload the customized files in this directory...
