: Passing a username to the chat room

If you have membership integration off in your chat room, you can pass a username to the chat room so the user automatically logs in with it. This is useful for integrating your chat room with external systems where the user may have already logged in with a username.

If you are embedding the java applet code inline, insert the following code with the other PARAM values which are included in your code:

<PARAM name="username" value="USERNAME GOES HERE">

If you are using a simple URL to access the chat room, add ?username=USERNAME GOES HERE to the end of the URL.

(Replace USERNAME GOES HERE with the username you would like the user to be logged in with.)

If you are using membership integration, it is recommended that you use the chat room URL instead of the inline code because the chat room URL will automatically read the user's browser cookies and determine that they are already logged into your Website Toolbox message board. That is not possible if you are using the inline code.
