Re: Always Use Display Name - Never UserName

Well, I just created a Display Name that was a combination of a users first name, last name, and id. This created a unique but identifiable Display Name that replaced the UserName. This solved my problem.

Always Use Display Name - Never UserName

I'm testing Cute Chat to see if I want to buy it for my websites. I've incorporated Cute Chat into an asp.net membership website. However, I NEVER want the users to see the Username since this is used for login to the website. Is there a way to always prompt for a Display Name when entering a chat room and ALWAYS use THAT in the chat rooms - NEVER the username? It's OK to use the username in the database.

Here is the global.asax code I'm currently using.

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="CuteChat" %>
<script runat="server">
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!Roles.RoleExists("Administrator")) Roles.CreateRole("Administrator");
ChatProvider.Instance = new AspNetChatProvider();
ChatSystem.Start(new AppSystem());
}
static private string CuteChatConnectionStringConfigName = "SQL2008_355184_poetrysoupConnectionString";
public string GetConnectionString(string reserved)
{
return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[CuteChatConnectionStringConfigName].ConnectionString;
}
public class AspNetChatProvider : ChatProvider
{
public override string GetConnectionString()
{
return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[CuteChatConnectionStringConfigName].ConnectionString;
}
public override AppChatIdentity GetLogonIdentity()
{
System.Web.Security.MembershipUser user = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser();
if (user != null && user.IsApproved)
{
return new AppChatIdentity(user.UserName, false, ToUserId(user.UserName), HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress);
}
return null;
}
public override string FindUserLoginName(string nickName)
{
System.Web.Security.MembershipUser user = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(nickName,false);
if (user != null && user.IsApproved)
return user.UserName;
return null;
}
public override bool GetUserInfo(string loginName, ref string nickName, ref bool isAdmin)
{
System.Web.Security.MembershipUser user = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(loginName, false);
if (user != null && user.IsApproved)
{
nickName=user.UserName;
isAdmin=Roles.IsUserInRole(user.UserName,"Administrator");
return true;
}
return false;
}
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
{
if (!System.Web.Security.Membership.ValidateUser(username, password))
{
return false;
}
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false, HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath);
return true;
}
}
</script>
