Joomla 3 and 123Flashchat integration

[joagj]

Hello,
I'm testing out the chat with Joomla 3. I also have JomSocial installed as a component under Joomla. The problem is that when I start the chat, the user's real name is set as "nick" and the user's nickname is set as "name". I would rather that only nickname is used. I found this when Googling the problem:
http://www.123flashchat.com/community/index.php?topic=152412.msg284070#msg284070
However, as I can see, this is for Joomla 2.5. I cannot see the same folder and file structure as mentioned in the post.
I found a file called view.html.php under components/com_123flashchat/views/flashchat. I edited this file.

The original:

if(!empty($user->name)){
         $chaturl .= "&init_nickname=".rawurlencode(htmlspecialchars_decode($user->name))

Edited to:

if(!empty($user->username)){
         $chaturl .= "&init_nickname=".rawurlencode(htmlspecialchars_decode($user->username))

This did not work. Could anyone please guide me as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi friend,

Sorry for the trouble brought to u.

You can fix it by following actions:

1:) in view.html.php under <your site root path>/components/com_123flashchat/site/views/flashchat:
Change this:
if(!empty($user->name)){
$chaturl .= "&init_nickname=".rawurlencode(htmlspecialchars_decode($user->name));
}
To this:
/**
if(!empty($user->name)){
$chaturl .= "&init_nickname=".rawurlencode(htmlspecialchars_decode($user->name));
}
**/

2:)Then do following action in controller.php under <your site root path>/components/com_123flashchat/site:
Change this:
if(!empty($row['name'])){
$url .= '&nk='.$row['name'];
}
To this:
/*if(!empty($row['name'])){
$url .= '&nk='.$row['name'];
}*/

3. Save above changes and clear your browser cache to check if it's fixed.
