Need some custom code changes to the phpBB core simple enough that you feel doesn't require an extension? Then post your request here so that community members can provide some assistance.
NOTE: NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED IN THIS SUB-FORUM
So I'm trying to replace an old AJAX chat on our site which used to be able to somehow tie into the forum and get the usernames for users connected to the chat. I imagine this was done with the cookie sid?
so very simply I want to make a program which interfaces with the site to recognize usernames and login status. what should I be looking at? where on the site or the site's cookies should I be looking for this information?
the cookie SID just gives a number as do the other cookies from the site, if there some special translator which can pull a username from this?
thanks

Probably the sessions table

by sessions table do you mean the page viewonline.php or is it saved in a file on the server? I'm not familiar with it. I tried logging into the forum from my program to view the online user list and my program just froze lol, probably cause I didn't set the program to handle cookies..
