Working with Chat/Messenger on Community Server 2007.

On the main chat page where all my rooms are listed, I would like to have a different icon picture for each room.  As it stands, the same icon on each room makes it hard to tell the difference between the chat rooms.

  <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name")%></nobr>

Adam,

 

can you please show me the right way to add the LobbyID. I tried 

  and so on.  i just get an error telling me there is no resource for lobbyid1 or something along those lines if i change it from "LobbyID"..

 

Thanks, Jay

Jay,

 

Please use the following code:

 

<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Lobby.LobbyId")%>

Adam,

 

Thanks for the reply. I gave the new code a try from your last post. I still seem to get this error when i change anything in the DataItem list. System.Web.HttpException: DataBinding: 'CuteChat.AppLobby' does not contain a property with the name '...'

 

We have 6 rooms that we use so there ID's are 1 - 6. So lobbyID 1 is named General Radio Chat   LobbyID 2 is named General Television Chat    LobbyID 3 is named Public Conference Room #1   and so on.

 

If you have time using this code can you show me what the completed example should look like with my LobbyID's and room names.

Adam...GOTBUD has been a big help to me in trying to get this accomplished.  I appreciate all your help and both of us feel we are really close to getting this done.  Any chance you could shed some light on GOTBUD's latest post?  I think he is on the right track and has much more experience with your software than I.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

murryc

You can achieve this feature programmatically.

 

Each room has an unique LobbyId.

 

So you need to change:

 

 <nobr><asp:Image ImageUrl="~/CuteSoft_client/CuteChat/Images/50-home.gif" align="center" runat="server" id="Image1" />
  <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name")%></nobr>
            

to:

 

 

Then rename your image accordingly.

Adam,

 

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time out to help us with this. Murry and I are far from programmers and sometimes we are challenged with the simple things.

 

I would also like to add one other way we found that worked. I placed this at the end of:

Thanks for the help Adam!
