I am building a site with wix where user information and profiles are stored in databases rather than official wix users. I do not want to use wix for member logins or accounts. I want my users to be able to chat in Skype like chat rooms, preferable with a box with a scroll bar. Similar to wix chat except malleable with code, does not require official wix login and not on very page. I want different chat windows on different pages. Is there anyway this can be achieved or will I have to building from scratch?
Hi! This will not be possible. You would have to build from scratch unfortunately.

Thank you. I have a few ideas on how to do but I am still not sure. Do you have any ideas?
I think we would need to reach out to a expert.
How do we do that?
You could either go to Wix Support or as for help from a Corvid Master.

I figured out how to make one, never mind.
If you would like help with your site, then you can look for a Wix Expert here.

My first question would be that if you are just using databases and not using Wix CRM API or Wix Users API and not having users signup or login through the Default, Custom or Corvid member signup options.
Then how are you actually signing up and allowing members to login to your site?
Plus, what are you actually storing in the databases that you have created?
If you are saving users passwords then that is a very high security risk on your behalf as any data breaches would be your fault and you would have to deal with the aftermath.
As for your own chat, you can make use of this old forum post here.

Otherwise, you would have to look into embedding the chat apps into your site through the use of html, or a more secure method of exposing your own site to the API from the chat apps themselves.

Thank you for the information.
I am not storing the passwords in the database, I am combining them with a long randomly generated string, hashing that; and then saving the result and the random string in the Database. As far as I am aware that is the safest way to store passwords.
