Make sure that both "Guests Can View the Bar" and "Guests Can Chat" are unchecked in the admin panel.

"Guests Can View the Bar" and "Guests Can Chat" is both disabled, still guests can see the chat bar!
vB 4.1.11

Putting all the codes toghether in headinclude or the footer did not change anything.

We are new to Arrowchat and honestly had a lot of headaches getting it to work right from the get go. We purchased this with the hopes it would be easy, no hassle integration so our development team could be done with it quickly. That didn't happen in version 1.0.7 the java was slow and very screwy and for a savvy team of linux, php and web developers the issues in 1.0.7 was exactly what we didn't want hassle, so we called it a ditched effort and move on.

That said we just installed 1.5.x with a lot more success. the jQuery overhaul was well worth the effort, overall it is more responsive but best of all it just plain works now!

I can confirm this bug in 1.5.12, users who are guests can see the buddy list and chat rooms even if the 'Guests Can View the Bar' and 'Guest Can Chat' are both disabled. not only that it uses our admin account to post to its users but it appears from our test that these messages are not necessarily delivered via PM but they do save as our Admin user in the Chatrooms.

This bug basically means that we can't use arrowchat atm. I can try to roll back to 1.5.11 if I can get to its source but as it stands we have to disable this software yet again till this issue is resolved. I don't know if it as easy as checking for a session and simply disabling the buddy list and chatrooms but either way we are looking for a resolution even if that means rolling back to 1.5.11.

We are using the Jamroom bridge btw.

@JCable Guests cannot actually see and use the chat. This was a bug in vBulletin that was fixed. What was happening was ArrowChat was still seeing the user as logged in if they had ever logged into the site before and had that cookie.

I'm guessing Jamroom has the same issue so I'll take a look.

Here is the updated integration file to fix Jamroom:

In the includes/integration.php file, change the get_user_id function to this:

Code: Select all

   function get_user_id() 
   {
      global $db;
      
      $userid = NULL;

      if (!empty($_COOKIE['JamroomID']) OR !empty($_COOKIE['CVJamroomID'])) 
      {
         if (!empty($_COOKIE['JamroomID'])) 
         {
            $cookie = $_COOKIE['JamroomID'];
         } 
         else 
         {
            $cookie = $_COOKIE['CVJamroomID'];
         }
         
         $result = $db->execute("
            SELECT user_id, user_visitor
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session 
            WHERE SID = '" . $db->escape_string($cookie) . "'
         ");
         
         if ($row = $db->fetch_array($result))
         {
            if (empty($row['user_visitor']))
            {
               $userid = $row['user_id'];
            }
         }
      }

      return $userid;
   }

This will be officially fixed next update.
