How to limit chat history on client?
|
|
| Stefan Richter 2005-05-19, 7:45 am |
| Hi,
I am using a normal listbox to display a chat history on the client. Is
there a property or simple script that I can use to truncate the amount of
text that goes in there?
Say I want to limit the amount of text to 100 lines, how would I do that?

| Sorry I was talking rubbish...
Not listbox - textarea!
I can't find info on setRowCount (I guess this would apply to listbox
anyway) b ut there is a maxChars property for the textarea. Still I am =
not
sure if that will actually do what I need as it appears to apply to =
editable
textareas...

| Thinking out loud here...since messages are placed into a history array,
create a recursive loop inside say FCCHATClass.prototype.receiveHistory
function which counts the number of messages in the history array and the=
n
clear the history array when it reaches 100?

| I presume you use the textchat component?
Try commenting out line 95-102
/*
FCChatClass.prototype.receiveHistory = function(h) {
var history;
for ( var i = 0; i < h.length; i++ )
history += h[i];
this.history_txt.htmlText = history;
this.history_txt.scroll = this.history_txt.maxscroll;
};
*/

| SS: If you're using the standard FCS shipped file then edit some prefs
in --> /scriptlib/components/chat.as
FCChat.prototype.histlen = 35; // Maximum history length
FCChat.prototype.persist = true; // Whether to save history
FCChat.prototype.allowClear = true; // Allow clients to clear history
Set histlen to 0 and persist to false and you should get a blank chat
window whenever you login to any room using the chat.as. You can edit
your application's main.as file and point to a copy of chat.as if you'd
rather leave the originals alone.
You can alternatively play with the chat components innards and edit
the recieveHistory function and poke around there.

| If you do that also make sure you delete any existing SO's in your app dir
or the old history may show up again and again.
