How to force auto-login of Dolphin to Chat+

Hi,

When I've logged out of Chat+ and Dolphin, then logged back in, I go to Chat+ and see the right arrow icon again.

First question:

• How do I force the Dolphin Chat+ module to login automatically with Dolphin credentials?

I'm not intending to use Chat+ for anything else, so why not have Dolphin auto-login.

Second question:

• If we can't force an auto-login using Dolphin account, how can I change the mouse-over to change the word from "Dolphin" to "Click here to login to Chat".

Thank you.

thats one of the things i havee been complaining about - while Alex said in another post of mine that they have not removed anything - well - they did remove the ability to write your own text for the button - as well as the text color and the button color.

We definitely need force auto-login. I don't like how a popup window or modal shows up with my entire site loaded into it, and I have to click a button that asks for consent to use information. It needs to look like part of the same site.

please remember that the Chat+ is actually a totally different server from Dolphin - the Boonex team has spent a lot of time trying to find a chat that will work better than the flash chat it has had for so many years and has also take the time to at least figure out how to get the two to work together. And for this reason - the force login will not work. Also keep in mind that you can set up other OAuth connections - such as facebook - and allow users to login with their facebook credentials.

Hi Prof. I know where you're coming from, but I don't intend to use Chat+ for anything other than 1 Dolphin website.

I have disabled the login form and don't want anyone logging in with any other service.

The way it is now is disjointed. Boonex coded the module on the Dolphin backend, so why can't that just be extended to auto-login using the Dolphin credentials?

To me, this is a needed function.

Any ideas where we could request these feature enhancements?

there is no coding for the Chat+ within the Dolphin site. All it is is an iframe with the Chat Server page displaying in it.That is one of the misconceptions about this new Chat+. It is not developed by the Boonex team, nor supported by the Boonex team.

Now - there are webhooks that can be used to log a user into the chat - if you can figure out how to set this up so that when a user logs in to your site - it also logs then into the chat - you will be golden.

Hi Prof. Yes that's right, it is just an iFrame.

They do have the facility for a "PHP Block", maybe that could be made an invisible block upon login which could perform that webhook via PHP to log the user into the Chat+ in the background?

there would actually have to be 2 things that happen - using 2 APIs. First - when a user creates an account on your DOlphin site - then there is a register user api that could be used to also register user on Chat server. Then - with the lgin - there is another api to use for logging in a user to the Chat server. Will have to look more tonight when i get home from work as my code is not working for some reason anymore.

Hi Prof. Please keep me in the loop with what you find, even with direct message on this site.

I'm very interested in this part and although not a Dolphin coder will spend the time on it to learn it to get this going.

I just use facebook connect and the regular sign-in/register form for the chat +. I don't use the boonex login.
