Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Chat logs for Ajax Chat

Hamilton, you are aware, that the chat package supports the ajax chat and has chat logs?

The chat log support needs a few management pages, logs the discussion to the database, etc. It shows as well the currently connected users.

We use currently the chat package (ajax chat) with a modified dotlrn-chat in our production environment

Thanks Gustaf,

I wasn't aware until you pointed it out. I was looking for sql create statements in xotcl and xowiki in the sql folders but I did not look closer inside the xotcl chat-procs.

Sure enough, you record the chats in a table chat_msgs.

While in the subject of management pages. What do you envision these management pages should look like.

I was going to create a simple page for admins to view the rooms in a list, clicking on the room id opens up the chat messages for that room.
