Turn on Multiple Logins

[Bosskafett]

How do you turn on Multiple Logins in SFS PRO? Thanks.

What does "multiple login" means?

[Bosskafett]

Simply allow users to login more than once? Is it possible? I'm sure it is

Hi.
Sorry but I think you misread it. A client can only login once (unless you create several SmartFoxClient instances but why would you need that?). Can you please describe better what do you want to achieve? And are you sure that you aren't referring to joining multiple rooms instead?

I have created a chat application where you can join a chat from a link e.g. www.aurorachat.me/lobby. I want users to be able to login to multiple chats (rooms) but not the same one more than once. Is this possible? Thanks you.

Hello.
You could create a Room for each Chat Room instead of different Zones. That way you would only need to login once and then you could join multiple rooms by providing true as the dontLeave parameter in the smartfox.joinRoom() method.

Wait, I need a user to be able to login to two client screens and have the same user in different rooms at once. Is it possible to login to the same user that's already logged into a room? This will make the user able to chat in two rooms while on the same user.

This is not possible. You can't have the same user perform two separate logins at the same time using the same username.

So, the Server reads the Username ( user.getName() ) if I can randomise the end of that and record a different variable with the display username (e.g. user.setName(resObj.name + random_number) & user.setRealName(resObj.name) ). I will try something like that. Tell you what happens after.

Hi.
You could try sending the SmartFoxClient object from the main client to all the other different windows, via JavaScript. Then you would just need to join multiple rooms instead of logging in multiple times.
