How do I Limit the Histroy in a channel?

[Anonymous]

I want to know how I would limit the channel to show entries for only one day.

I tried to change the setting of the defaults_inc.php file $FORUMDATE property from 30 to 1 but it did not work.

What do I have to change?

this is no question of forumdate but a question of how many user come into your channel.
the chat saves the last 40 lines for each channel and shows it at joining the channel. normally the last 40 lines are from the last lets say 2 minutes if there are other people online.
a seleting by time is not possible with the actual code, if you want to do so please modify the code by yourself

Is there a way to set the number of lines saved to "0"?  or would that screw things up?

...what I'd like to be able to do is wipe the channel clean afte use.

thanks

when setting lines saved to 0 the hole chat can't work. how should anyone see what others writing? the hole communication is managed by this setting and reading/writing the database.
