RealChat Software Version 1.7

Hosting multiple customers on a shared RealChat server


RealChat Enterprise Edition supports hosting of multiple customers on a shared RealChat server. If you are an ISP, a web development company or just want to set up several different chat communities on a single server, you'll find this feature very useful.

RealChat allows you to use one java app on a single port to service several rooms across several clients (so people in a room would not be aware of the other rooms). Like say webboard which lets you stick the name of the message board in the URL and you get a specific clients board (room).

Here's how to do this:

1. Set each client's roomName / roomTopic pairs in your RealChatServer.conf.
2. Set a different login page for each client, using their logo, preferred colors, images etc.
3. Set the CHANNEL parameter that specific customer's room.
4. Set the singleRoomMode to hide the "Rooms" and "Who,Where" buttons if required, thus blocking users moving rooms.


RealChatClient Additional Applet Parameters


CHANNEL Parameter

Syntax: <param name=CHANNEL value="room">
Default: not set

This would allow you to link a user directly to specific room at statup instead of putting him in the main room. Note that room must correspond to a valid RoomName tag in your RealChatServer.conf


singleRoomMode

Syntax: <param name=singleRoomMode value="value">
Default: not set

Setting the value to "Yes" would hide all room info, 'rooms' and 'who, where' buttons from the end-user, thus making the chat look like there are no other rooms.
