Chatbox questions.

Moved to Modifications
1. I think you would have to write seperate files for this
2. I think it keeps a seperate count now: if it does, you could just modify the query to increment the regular count as well
3. Changing the way the Javascript outputs the text is the easiest way I think

Now if I only knew how to do all that

Well... I meant how to edit the chatbox posts like you would normally do on a forum. (delete, etc...)

^^ which is also why I asked if I could somehow make it add to the post count ... and then possible create a seperate forum for the chatbox where all the messages would be stored O_O <---- is that possible????

thanks again.

i'm still somewhat new to all of this, so i could be off. i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm totally wrong... but i don't think you can do what you describe. you might be able to modify some of the php to do it, assuming you want to dig into that much.

the chatbox mods just stuff chat entries into a database, and show some configurable number of messages in the window. so as i mentioned before... you can delete the entries from the actual database, but making sure the browsers can be refreshed to show the reduced amount of messages is another matter.

if people are abusing your chatbox, then maybe keep chats disabled unless you are hosting an official chat. i'm thinking of doing the same thing on my ChatBox---not because people are abusing it, but because conversations are disjointed if left open all the time...
