VideoChat Software

This article covers tweaking username and disabling chat logs in VideoWhisper Video Conference Component for Joomla (hopefully future versions will include parameters / features in the interface to control these).
This can also be used / adapted for other components that use similar structure.

In components\com_videowhisper_conference\models\flash.php:

1.       Change username to some other variant (username, id) instead of $user->get('name')

                $user =& JFactory::getUser();

                if (!$user->get('id')) $loggedin=0; else $loggedin=1;

                if (!$loggedin&&!$room->visitors) $message="Please login to your account first (on member frontend)!";

                $username=$user->get('name');

2.       Comment out chat log writing

case "chatlog":

…

/*

                $dfile = fopen($path."uploads/$room/Log$day.html","a");

                fputs($dfile,$message."
");

                fclose($dfile);
