Chatblock is working fine on my drupal install, but the block doesn't display for people when not logged in. I would like it to display for everyone, even if they're not logged on (I'm running drupal on an intranet so spam/security is not an issue). Is this possible, and if so, can non-logged in users change their nicknames to whatever they want?

I assume you have tried to work the permissions for people so it shows up for Anonymous users? There should be a permissions level for anonymous users in the access control page. Haven't tried to work this out for anonymous users before.

Also, as for nicknames, these are stored as their username in the database, so no there is currently no way for anonymous users to change their nickname.

For changing anonymous usernames, see another issue in the queue. Marking this "fixed" since I'm sure this is a permissions issue.

Hopefully I reopen this bug with my reply, so I won't have to make a duplicate.

Hi dwees,

I have the same problem. The chat block won't show up for users, who aren't logged in. It's not a permission issue, as I believe I've tried everything possible with permissions, but without luck. Hope you can help :/

Hadn't seen that I could reopen it myself ;)

I'll try and look into this when I get a chance.

Hey Dave,

no hurries - I adapted shout box instead, so if I'm the only one having the problem, you're better off spending your time elsewhere :)

(still thx though :))

It's still an issue that needs to be resolved, let's leave it open.

As it does not appear in a D6 installation, I'm fixing this as I won't fix anything for D5. May be reopened once someone else intends to help on the D5 branch.
