Chat History / Cache

[Daniel Fulton]

Hi all,

Installed poc to integrate with my yabbse board - it works very well, nice work.

I have a question regarding chat history, at the moment when a new user enters chat they can see nothing from before, is it possible to enable a history, say of 10 lines so that they can 'catch up'.

Thanks

Dan

search for:
$lastRedLine = $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->get_cur_line_idx();
$_SESSION['lastRedLine'] = $lastRedLine;

within index.php and add after the following code:
$_SESSION['lastRedLine'] = ($_SESSION['lastRedLine']+30) % $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->get_max_line_idx();

HTH

letreo,

thanks for the info, but I can not get it to work !

in index.php I have the following lines,

        $lastRedLine = $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->get_cur_line_idx();
        $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->disconnect();
        $_SESSION['lastRedLine'] = $lastRedLine;

I changed the lines to be,

        $lastRedLine = $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->get_cur_line_idx();
        $_SESSION['lastRedLine'] = $lastRedLine;
$_SESSION['lastRedLine'] = ($_SESSION['lastRedLine']+30)
% $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->get_max_line_idx();
        $_SESSION['channel_buffer']->disconnect();

This does not seem to work with the autologin feature of the yabbse integration.

Have I been silly ?

Cheers

More info, it appears that the history works when a user first logs in, but if they leave and then return when the session is not expired it fails.

I am continuing to investigate, if I find anything out I'll let you know.

okay, here is the solution.
download beta8 and switch on 'SHOW_CHAT_HISTORY' in config.inc.php
:)
