Dont want previous messages showing

[dean wrigglesworth]

Hi

I've been trying to stop previous messages showing so far i've got the following set but its still showing old messages

// Defines if messages are shown which have been sent before the user entered the channel:

$config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnter'] = false;

// Defines an array of channelIDs (e.g. array(0, 1)) for which the previous setting is always true (will be ignored if set to null):

$config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnterList'] = null;

// Max time difference in hours for messages to display on each request:

$config['requestMessagesTimeDiff'] = 0;

// Max number of messages to display on each request:

$config['requestMessagesLimit'] = 0;

am i missing something else??

Many thanks for your help 

Dean

to get what you look for values ​​should be set in this way:

// Defines if messages are shown which have been sent before the user entered the channel:

$config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnter'] = false;

// Defines an array of channelIDs (e.g. array(0, 1)) for which the previous setting is always true (will be ignored if set to null):

$config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnterList'] = null;

// Max time difference in hours for messages to display on each request:

$config['requestMessagesTimeDiff'] = 24;

// Max number of messages to display on each request:

$config['requestMessagesLimit'] = 10;

I am able to confirm that setting:

$config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnter'] = false;

Does not appear to have any affect. I tried to fiddle with some other combinations, but again was unable to prevent previous messages from showing.
The best I could do was limit the messages to 1 (setting the requestMessagesLimit to 0 breaks my chat).

This is the function that controls whether or not previous messages are shown (lib/class/AJAXChat.php).

function getMessageCondition() {
        $condition =    'id > '.$this->db->makeSafe($this->getRequestVar('lastID')).'
                                        AND (
                                                channel = '.$this->db->makeSafe($this->getChannel()).'
                                                OR
                                                channel = '.$this->db->makeSafe($this->getPrivateMessageID()).'
                                        )
                                        AND
                                        ';
        if($this->getConfig('requestMessagesPriorChannelEnter') ||
                ($this->getConfig('requestMessagesPriorChannelEnterList') && in_array($this->getChannel(), $this->getConfig('requestMessagesPriorChannelEnterList')))) {
                $condition .= 'NOW() < DATE_ADD(dateTime, interval '.$this->getConfig('requestMessagesTimeDiff').' HOUR)';
        } else {
                $condition .= 'dateTime >= FROM_UNIXTIME(' . $this->getChannelEnterTimeStamp() . ')';
        }
        return $condition;
}

if i remember correctly this chat offers the possibility to send private messages. You could instruct users to open a private channel?

**edit** Had to install a copy of the latetst standalone 0.88 to check if i wasn't talking nonsense. :)

A user can click the name in the right column "Open private channel". Why isn't that an option?

**edit2** 

Setting $config['requestMessagesPriorChannelEnter'] = false; in config.php works fine here.
