just add a password to your admin user :
$params["admins"] = array("admin"=>"yourpassword");

(don't forget to rehash)

in your script chat.
maybe index.php if you use the default installation script.

in demo40_in_turkish.php i added the code below, but it does not work

everbody can change or get my nick, and also another problem is, guests can also have priviliges of using /kick, /ban.... there is no warning like, you are not authorized to use this command...

I also enabled authentication from admin panel and the information in the admin panel and this $params["admins"] = array("jack"=>"123456"); is the same...

pls HELP...



<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/../src/phpfreechat.class.php";

$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["nick"] = "okuogren".rand(1,10); // setup the intitial nickname
$params["isadmin"] = true; // just for debug
$params["admins"] = array("jack"=>"123456");
$params["language"] = "tr_TR";
$params["channels"] = array('Türkçe','English');
$params["refresh_delay"] = 2000; // 2000ms = 2s
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

?>

Thanks Kerphi,

I learn something new everyday, and this worked percetly in beta 5.
Now in theory, i can change the name of admin in the array to any name that I want the admin to be, correct ?

Be careful all, it just found out that this IS case sensitive.

zooky, this parameter make everybody admin :
$params["isadmin"] = true;

So remove it !

kerphi, i did exactly what u said, but still i have problem with keeping only for me and my moderators nicks...

Everything works well, I use beta 4 and others can change and get my nickname, so they have control. I don't know how you can log in your DEMO CHAT, when i try "kerphi" it always says "_Choosen nickname is allready used_" but u cannot be in the chat always, there is no username and password box, is there anyone who can successfully done this exept kerphi_?

this is the latest code i includedin index.php, I also identify the same nick and the password in the admin panel.


<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/../src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params["title"] = "doesnt work";
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["admins"] = array("jack"=>"123456");
$params["language"] = "tr_TR";
$params["channels"] = array('Türkçe','English');
$params["refresh_delay"] = 2000; // 2000ms = 2s
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
?>

sorry for bothering, i forgot to do /identify password...

i am really very sorry

[madmumbler]

Okay, I figured out the part of this thread dealing with password protecting the admin names and setting the isadmin parameter to false. I've got that. But I'm still lost how to "reserve" certain names so no one else can take them in the first place. I realize they can't actually do admin functions unless they do the identify command first and put in a password, but when they choose their username, how can I "reserve" certain names so if they try to take the name without putting in a password then, they can't?

Thanks!
Lesli.

Nickname reservation is not yet possible.
The workaround is : play with 'nick' and 'frozen_nick' parameters + an external authentification system in order to be sure the nicks are taken by the rights persons.

[madmumbler]

Ah, okay. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I'll play with that and see if I can get it working for Joomla. Will take me a while though. *LOL* If I can make it work for Joomla, I can write a flow chart for others to follow to try to tailor it for their own system.

Thanks!
Lesli.
