That don't hurt. But if you are still logged in after the first request then you don't need to send it as get data.

[deejay_xb]

doesnt work..
when posting message it says that i'm not logged in, but i am..

@rich - can you please help?
why mchat says i'm not logged in but i am logged in in phpbb? how to post message without using cookies? with sid (from users_table) it does not work..

[deejay_xb]

nevermid my previous messages i've succeded in postin mchat message from outside

[tumba25]

Great. Want to share the needed info?

[deejay_xb]

the problem was curl related, and mchat post link is like this:
mchat.php?sid=usersessionid&mode=add&the rest of variables autogenerated like time form_token..

so i made a custom login.php that returns in json format all the variables i need when i login, then with that variables i make the post url and send to mchat. that's all and it works.

do you need any more info?

[tumba25]

i made a custom login.php

So this was not possible without modifying forum files. Maybe should poke Rich about making a API.

Rich will not be making an API for a mod that isn't going to get ported to 3.1.

[tumba25]

here is the custom login..
this returns all the needed info for mchat post from outside client

Where can we download the client source code?

[deejay_xb]

the app will be available on google play when it will be ready.
