I followed the instructions in the V3 Integration: I put in a reference to our database in the web.config and fixed the "Connection String" to our database.  We disabled Allow anonymous.  And we still get prompted for nickname.  What are we missing?

Implement IHttpApplicationConnectionStringProvider interface and Let CuteChat know the database connection string

In this step, you need to implement one simple method:

//Retrieves the Cute Chat database connection string
public string GetConnectionString(CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity user)

Code Example

Can you provide me with an example?  Does this all go in the global.asac file?

Here is what I added to my global.ascx so far:

 

Cynthia,

The above code looks good if you do have an entry in your web.config.

 <appSettings>
     <add key="MyConnectionString" value="server=(local);database=SamplePortal;uid=test;pwd=test" />
 </appSettings>

 

 

 

Thank you for that, but I also need to know how to write the other two lines to set up integration. How do I tell cutechat what the display name is so the user is not prompted for it?  A code example would be great.

 

Thanks

Cynthia,

 

Do you know how to connect your SQL Server?

 

If yes, just put your SQL Server Connection string in above line.

 

 

Please read what I asked:

 

Ok I am still confused.  I have download the V3 integration package and see all the routines in the global file.  I still do not userstand how to pass to you the username and display name.  I have my own .net application that has forms authentication.  Once they log in they see a set of chats rooms they can enter.  When they select one I pass them to your chat engine as shown below.  In this context how do I pass the other information (ie that they are authenticated and their display name).

 

Here is how I am calling your the chat engine.  Eval("LobbyID").ToString() produces the Lobby ID for the specify class they link to.

 

 

THANKS for your help!

Have you finished this step?

 

Implement IHttpApplicationUserAdapter interface and Let CuteChat know who has logged in the website

In this step, you need to implement one simple method:

//Retrieves the unique identity of the current user
public CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity GetUserIdentity()

Code Example

public string GetUserUniqueName()

{    
     if (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        return Context.User.Identity.Name; 
    return null;

}

public CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity GetUserIdentity()

{

    string uniquename = GetUserUniqueName();

    if (uniquename == null)

    {

        return CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity.CreateNull();

    }

    CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity identity = new CuteSoft.Chat.UserIdentity(uniquename, null, Request.UserHostAddress);

    return identity;
