Hi GIJoe, I use your autologin hack on xoops 2.2.4 and it's great.
However, I installed a seperate chatprogram (x7chat) and link from my xoops site to that chatprogram.
The chatprogram uses the xoopsdatabase and session to retrieve user name and password.

This is done through a xoops auth file

I changed the uname for loginname (because of xoops 2.2.4

Registered users can now enter the chat and are recognised by the chat program. When an 'autologin' user tries to enter the chat, there is a fatal error :

Though I don't read the code, you can try to fix this error.
