Firebase Chat Doesn't Connect

[Tyde]

I just purchased Ultimate specifically for the Chat feature. But the setup for Firebase has changed and when entering the following from your setup guide:

{
“rules”: {
“.read”: “true”,
“.write”: “true”
}
}

And

|| request.auth == null

Both lines of code generate errors.

Can you advise what the updated code should be.

Thanks

Hi Kenneth

I chose the wrong type of firebase database and the data entry options didn’t match up with the WCLovers guide. Once I used the correct DB it went smoothly. The WCLovers documentation on the steps involved is spot on:

https://docs.wclovers.com/live-chat-firebase-rules/

Also watch out for:

Quote: Step 8 : Add “|| request.auth == null” at the last in to the code

Look at the screen shot – line 4: “allow read, write: if request.auth !=null || request.auth == null;

In the default settings make sure the “:” is moved from after the first “null” to after the second “null”

Good luck!
