clear chat cache

[bpk]

hello,
i'm using utchat with joomla and i was wondering if i can clear what was previoulsy entered?
currently, when i log in and log out and log in again, text that was previously entered still shows in the chat window.
is there a way of preventing this?
thanks.

Add the following to your configuration:

Code: Select all

$params['max_msg'] = 0;

The default value for this is 20 (lines to display when entering the chat).

i can't seem to find that line?
is it under joomla/components/com_utchat/utchat.php?

I'm not familiar with Joomla or this component, but I had a look.
It's a bit different from the original.

Open utchat.php and add the line

Code: Select all

   $utparams['max_msg'] = 0;

after

Code: Select all

   $utparams['nick']      = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $uid);

This should do it.

Don't forget to "/rehash".

i'm sorry but i'm really new with this.
what does rehash mean? and where and what do i put in for rehash?

Have a look at the FAQ

/rehash goes into the chat area or in the php file?
