I followed your instructions on setting up, and the applet would not initialize.

visiting chat/auth shows success.

visiting chat shows the red X

I can embed the chat window and it will load, but I then have to manually connect as the chat-admin because it doesn't recognize any drupal users. with chat-admin, it will prompt for password. with any other drupal user, it will continue to return Error U825.

I think this is basically the same issue as was already logged for your 5.x version.

I modified line 19 of parachat.pages.inc to:
$codebase = 'http://host7.parachat.com/pchat/applet';

which is the applet address in my parachat welcome email, and now it all seems to be working fine!

thanks for writing this mod. integrated chat has really been a pain in the you know what and this is the best solution I've encountered thus far.

Great info, Thanks!

I was only testing with an account which used http://serverxx.parachat.com, .. so I didn't realize they used other names for the sub-domain.

You can get the latest snapshot (that is dated after this message). Just copy over the files, go to the admin page, and re-save the settings. It should then work without your modification. I'd appreciate it if you could confirm.

>> visiting chat/auth shows success.
When external db authentication is set to 'no', the result will always be success. I did that in case Parachat would check for authentication. I know people should turn it off on the Parachat side, but I could see them thinking it was just not working on the Drupal module side.

sorry it took so long, but I downloaded and tested and it works GREAT!

the only suggestion I have now is to change the field info for "Service administration page:" and the help text "Sent with Parachat welcome email. i.e. http://server99.parachat.com:8888/sp/login.jsp" because it has to be the address to the applet, which is in the welcome email but in the applet code, after APPLET CODEBASE=.

again, thanks for such a nice integration!

I guess I should have opened this issue up again when I posted the info about the applet, so I'm doing that now.

so you're saying that your codebase server/port is different than your admin page server/port? can you please post each?

thanks

here are the two urls. the service admin url doesn't give me success, but the codebase does:

Service Administration Page: https://admin7.parachat.com:8443/parachat/login.jsp

APPLET CODEBASE="http://host7.parachat.com/pchat/applet"

Forgive me please, as I am NO coder - but I'm confused. Is there a downloadable 'working' module with all of the 'fixes' (or patches) included ? If any of you have such a critter, might I PLEASE get a copy, or could you direct me as to where/what to download and install - PLEASE?

Thank you VERY MUCH!
