Chatbox

Dear members of fm,

I would like to ask you why the conversations are not in the chat box field after 15-20 min. of my last conversation? I would like to explain that the chat box is empty after a while and i need to go to the archives to review last messages. Is there any way the conversations to stay on the chat box without automatically been send to the archives?

Thank you in advance
Many regards and respect!!

Hello,

No I do not believe it is possible to do this. The system is simply set up that way from FM's Server side. Sorry

Hmmm.... Nothing is imposssible...

Well I meant legally it is not possible... of course if there is a will there is a way... but legally... there is no way and it is not possible unless you have access to FM's server (which I would very very much assume you don't), or can write your own scripts.

OK... But it's very bad when you going on site, and U see emptu chatbox... If U understend me!

Oh I understand perfectly... I would love for there to be a way to do away with it (as well possibly the option to disable the chat timeout). Unforunately it is FM'S call in the end and there is very little if anything we can do besides make suggestions and put up with it.

Yes, you're absolutely right!!!

The impossible is just a matter of opinion.

Try this code below, placement only "In the home page":

Thanks jscript... but not working,

I try with something else... In index_body I erasure {CHATBOX_TOP}... after that in overall_header I put:

Code:

 <iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?archives=1" id="frame_chatbox"  width=100% height=350 scrolling=no frameborder=0></iframe> 

and now Chatbox is visiable from every page and I see last messages, but (everytime but...)
In Chatbox I can't see message box and buttons (Bold, Underline, Italic, Strike, Fontcolor and Emoticons) See Picture:


If I put:

Code:

 <iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?" id="frame_chatbox"  width=100% height=350 scrolling=no frameborder=0></iframe>

(Without archives=1)
I can see buttons, but Chatbox after 15-20 min. is empty... Still have problem...
And my question is How to put the first code, and have message box and buttons?

Thanks in advance!

Regards & Respect

Ok, so keep this format:

Code:

<iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?archives=1" id="frame_chatbox" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

And replace the previous code for this below with placement only "In the home page":

Oooo It's work...

Ok, try this new code because I made small changes that will leave it more faster and fixes a bug when disconnected:

Code:


// Redefine function!
function insertChatBox(chatbox_id, chatbox_url) {
   return insertChatBoxNew(chatbox_id, chatbox_url);
}
// Redefine function!
function insertChatBoxNew(chatbox_id, chatbox_url) {
   document.getElementById(chatbox_id).innerHTML = '<iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?archives=1" id="frame_chatbox" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
}

$(function() {
   if (_userdata.session_logged_in) {
