Auto-logout upon re-login

[King Moonraiser]

Is there a setting to force off an existing user if another user is attempting to log in with the same name?

I've integrated phpfreechat with phpBB, so the usernames ought to be valid on login. Of course, I wouldn't want people to get forced off by someone doing a nick change.

(Why don't I just freeze the nicks? Because of the bug in the beta 10).

What is the bug with frozen_nick in 1.0-beta10 ?

i do too. =(

i think that it come due to cache.

lets consider that i log with the nick 'aaa', it logs perfrecty.

now i /quit 'aaa' and try to log with 'bbb', it logs 'aaa' back and it warns about nick changes.

its seems that it recognize session id and reconnect. or something like that.

beside that, this chat is pretty cool. =)

The solution kerphi is going to say is to use

Code: Select all

$params["frozen_nick"]  = true;

which is fine for me since I get my nicks from the phpBB account names. I don't need to worry about conflicts since phpBB is guaranteeing that my nicks are unique.

However, if the user did something silly, like enter chat on their home computer and left the window open, they will NEVER be able to log back into the chat until that first window is closed. I'd like to find a way to kill the old session if a new one is trying to take its place.

well, i do frozen_nick and it work well. so well that a computer wont be able to change to another nick. =)

i think that the solution have show up in How to destoy session. =)

i use loggin from phpbb to ensure that nicks are already registered. i dont need much security though but i think theres a problem there. =)
