Community Building with ChatSpace Server Manual

– Contact—the site owner’s name or nickname.
– Email—the site owner’s Email address. Set this to a real Email
address. When a bogus Email address is entered, people who have been
server banned from your site cannot email you about the ban.
– Default Room—this is the name of the room that people (on the Java
client) will join by default when they join your site. Remember, room
names can only be one word (no spaces), and you should also register
your default room on the Rooms section of the Remote Server
Configuration window.
Restart the Server—click this link to stop and restart your Community
Server.
Upgrade the Server—click this link to access a page that tells you if you
are running the most current version (but not necessarily the most
current build).
Server Welcome Message—click this link to display a window to edit the
welcome message. The welcome message is shown to everyone who
connects to your site. To enter a server welcome message:
– Click a color box at the bottom of that window to select a color for the
message. Multiple colors can be used in a message. A code is inserted
in the message to indicate the color, but the code is not displayed in the
message.
– Place the cursor in the text box.
– Enter the welcome message in the text box.
– Click OK.
Community Configuration—click this link to set when the server should
be connected to the community. A dialog with three choices is displayed.
Select the appropriate checkbox:
– Connected to ChatSpace Community whenever this server is up.
– Connected to ChatSpace Community when modem connected.
– Connected to ChatSpace Community during Scheduled Times.
Modify Community Listing—click this link to change which category your
site is listed under in the Community Directory. This link takes you to
the ChatSpace Registration page. The category field is the first field
under the Server Information section. You can also update other public
and private information and your registration key on this page. Click
Update to submit the changes when you are done.
