Info

Embedding Chat on a Page on your Web Site You can directly embed the chat interface along with your other content directly on a web page on your existing web site. See the Web Page Builders Guide in this documentation set for details to for embedding the interface. IRC Client Access Community Server opens up the usual IRC protocol ports (6667 and 7000 by default) for use by IRC client software. Users familiar with IRC clients can access your chat site the same way they access their other IRC server software. Access from the Start Menu As an Administrator, you can access ChatSpace from the Start menu of the computer on which ChatSpace is installed. You can access the ChatSpace Community by selecting: Start > Programs > ChatSpace > Community > Community You can access the ChatSpace Java client by selecting: Start > Programs > ChatSpace > ChatSpace Controlling Access to Your Site Even if you intend to run an open and anonymous access site, you should be familiar with the various techniques for controlling access as well as the facilities that ChatSpace Community Server provides for implementing those techniques. Members-Only Site A members-only site provides for very tight control of your chat site. Several options are available for handling new members. Automatic Registration ChatSpace provides a membership feature, which allows members to register in order to access your chat site. To enable this feature: 1. Access the ChatSpace Control Panel. – If the Community Server is running, right click on the ChatSpace tray icon and select Control from the pop-up menu. 9
– If the Community Server is not running, access the ChatSpace Control Panel from the Windows Start menu by selecting: Start > Programs > ChatSpace > Control ChatSpace. 2. Click the Configure button. 3. Select the Members tab. 4. Check the boxes Must have a registered nickname to sign on. 5. Click OK. Alternate Registration (under 13, over 18) An Alternate Sign-up membership option is available to determine if the member is the proper age to use the site. This option is a generic facility that provides a question to members when they access the site. If the members provide the proper answer, they are allowed to proceed to the alternate signup form. The default alternate sign-up in is designed to allow you to validate that a new member is either over 13 years of age, or has a parent’s permission to access the site. This alternate sign-up page asks if the prospective member is 13 years of age or younger. If Yes is clicked, then by default, the child is given a form to print and give to his or her parent, explaining the purpose of the site. The form contains a recommendation that the parent examine the site to determine whether it is suitable for his/her child prior to giving the password (generated, and contained in the email) to the child. If the parent chooses to give consent, he or she signs the form and faxes it back to the administrators of the chat site in question. The administrators have the responsibility of inspecting the form for completeness and signature. This alternate sign-up facility can also be used to validate that a person is 18 or older, as is required with some sites. The alternate path in this case (if the member chooses the I am under 18 button) displays a web page stating that only those 18 or older are allowed to enter the site. To set up the alternate registration: 1. Access the Configuration Tool. 2. Open the Members tab. 3. Click Advanced. The Advanced Member Options dialog is displayed. 4. Check the box for Check for alternate conditions (Over 18, under 13 etc.). 5. Click OK to save the changes and close the advanced dialog. 6. Click OK again to close the Configuration Tool. 10
