I have been working with cometchat support and they claim if i use a cookie with the userid from the alf_authority table, it will work.

so, can anyone explain how I can get the following to work and in which alfresco share file I should use it?


<script>
var userid='USERID'; //this is where I cannot figure out how to populate USERID with the proper information from alf_authority for the logged in user
document.cookie="cc_data="+userid;
</script>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I see in login.jsp that the userid is actually the user name, but if i change any code in that file it just breaks alfresco share.

if this is complicated, please just tell me and I will try to find a programmer to help me. I was hoping its just one line of code to grab the USERID and make a cookie.

any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

I've moved your topic into the Share Development forum.

The userId is available in Share, you should be able to run a small piece of JavaScript to retrieve it. I suggest you look at how the other applets within Share work.
