AjaxChat Integration with UserCake

[Luigi]

Please find below instructions on how to integrate AjaxChat in UserCake
(usercake.com: "it's one of the simplest and most secure user management systems on the internet.").

Assuming that Usercake is installed in the root directory of your site and AjaxChat is in the "/chat" subdir:

1- Modify the file
       lib/custom.php (you need to add the php file for the login)

require_once("../models/config.php");

//Eventually Prevent the user visiting the logged in page if he/she is not logged in, comment the following if you don't need it

if(!isUserLoggedIn()) { header("Location: ../login.php"); die(); }

2- Modify the file
       lib/class/CustomAJAXChat.php (for login method)

function getValidLoginUserData() {

        global $loggedInUser;

        // Check if we have a valid registered user:

        /*customisation for UserCake Version: 1.4

http://usercake.com

assuming that chat directory is inside the userCake setup directory

*/

        if(isUserLoggedIn()) {

            $userData = array();

            $userData = $loggedInUser->user_id;

            $userData = $this->trimUserName($loggedInUser->display_username);

            if($loggedInUser->group_id==2)

                $userData = AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN;

            elseif($loggedInUser->group_id==3) //this must be added to userCake groups

                $userData = AJAX_CHAT_MODERATOR;

            else

                $userData = AJAX_CHAT_USER;

return $userData;

        return null;

      } else {

// Guest users:

return $this->getGuestUser();

}

}
