http://www.qldaeromodeler.com

If you have the time can you have a peek and make a suggestion.

Cheers.

Open: Index_body.html
Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html --> 

Add above that line

Code: Select all

 <br />

Go to ACP>Styles>templates fresh style you are working on.

I'm wondering if there is a way to delete chat messages older than a day?
It doesn't look right for my forum when chat messages are accumulated from day one up until current.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

at the bottom of the first post of this topic

that code can be put into the shout.php as well as the chat.php and anytime a member visits chat, it will purge any message that is not shown

Yes, but not recommended unless you have auto refresh turned off. It will keep restarting the video every few seconds otherwise.

Hi love the Mod

Is there a way that I can set the chat to only keep records of last 24 hrs, so that the db doesnt increase eternally lol

Also is there a way to reduce the chat height padding for each post in the shout box to say just the height of the line of text?

Thanks in advance

RTFM = Read The Flippin Manual

rotfl… I've never heard that one before.
@Jerx, do you have any idea how hard it is to talk to you without calling you a jerx?
Anyways, it is a planned feature… but probably not for a couple months.
I'm working my way down my mod list updating mods and releasing new versions.

But I decided not to prune anything for Beta 7 because I'm going to have a logs page where you can view past posts… so I don't want anything deleted yet.

But you can clean out the chat with a db query similar to this:

Code: Select all

DELETE FROM phpbb_chat WHERE time < 1177625700

of course change the timestamp to whatever you need it to be.
That timestamp will delete everything that is older than April 24th.

Sorry for my ignorance and lack of edumacation but this time stamp is minutes?

It work fine, of course.

Some guys has my same problem ?
Why i can manage the chat from admin panel ?

[bentinho]

Hey there, thanks for this great MOD!

I must admit that I haven't read all pages in this topic, so sorry if it has already been asked before.

But where/how exactly can I find the log if I want to review messages or let my members read messages made in the chatbox, older than the ones viewable in the chat itself?

And also where/how to delete the log every once in a while, to keep the database clean?

Thanks!

This is simple enough, it has not be set up yet. That is why this is a beta and not a release.

Mej284, Can you please help me out? I like this chatbody, however, its missing smilies and Buttons that you have on your other code you made. I tried to put your code into this chatbody, its was visible but didn't work. http://www.warorphans.net The code you made was the one with the view more smilies dropbox.
Also, if you go to the site, when we type, from the board style, there is a line going through the first Letter....where to adjust???

It's sloppy and annoying. I don't use this mod anymore, but you can use this modified layout of chat_body.html i used for my own...i changed it to have it look 'normal' on both ie and FF.

Code: Select all

You can PM me with your question. Since your problem does not pertain to this mod go ahead an PM with your question. Please provide all information and all edits you may have done to switch over so I can better understand the problem.

[sTimulated]

Hi all
I'm in the right thread now hehe

I'm having problems trying to install this mod.

I think I've placed all files to where they need to be?
When editing the files do I include it like this....

//-- mod : AJAX Chat ----------------------------------------------------
//-- add
'CHAT' => 'Chat',
'CHAT_EXPLAIN' => 'Chat Center',
//-- fin mod : AJAX Chat ------------------------------------------------

Or like this

'CHAT' => 'Chat',
'CHAT_EXPLAIN' => 'Chat Center',

I'm doing this all manually or should I be using automod?

I cannot get the chat_install to err install?
When I browse to it I just get a text page?

Not at all sure where I've gone wrong?

Also,now when I go to my forum I get....
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Table 'stimulated.phpbb_chat' doesn't exist [1146]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

I guess this will be fixed when I can get chat_install to work?
