Hi there,

Can anyone, please, help me integrate freichat with the VLDPersonals database? I have downloaded it and installed it on my site but it won't show up users. Just guests. I have done my best (which probably is not much) but I couldn't manage to get through. Any help would be really appreciated.
They advertise Freichat integrates with VLDPersonals automatically but there seems to be no module for it. I am not a coding pro so I need simple and specific instructions and guidance to achieve the DB integration. Thanks to anyone who bothers to read my post and answer me !

Can you try enabling PHP debug in freichat backend , and then check for the file freichat/freixlog.log for any errors .

Users are visible in the Control Panel moderation field. How do I proceed from here?

Yes, I have enabled that and the freixlog.log seems to show no mistakes:

”April 5, 2014, 8:38 pm: main.php loaded

April 5, 2014, 8:39 pm: main.php loaded

What then is this supposed to mean?

Have you made the changes in hardcode.php as given in below link:
http://codologic.com/docs/doku.php?id=wiki:freichat:user-login-integration

I have made the changes in hardcode.php and the members show up in the moderation panel in the back end but I do not understand in what file do I have to add/edit the code

Login code

if($Username_And_Password_Match)
{
$_SESSION['userid'] = $users['id']; // Modify to suit your requirements

Step 2:

Then , accordingly you need to change your copy-pasted FreiChat code as

$ses = null; // Return null if user is not logged in

if(isset($_SESSION['userid']))
{
if($_SESSION['userid'] != null) // Here null is guest
{
$ses=$_SESSION['userid']; //LOOK, now userid will be passed to FreiChat
}
}

if(!function_exists("FreiChat_get_hash"))
{
function FreiChat_get_hash($ses){ . .//And the rest of the code as it is . .


Wher do I insert this code? In what file?
Please be as specific as you can for a nonprofessional coder. This is killing me.

You can add this code to any file(php file) that loads after the user is authorized (after the session is started)
