Just a question before I set mChat pruning. Would all the chat rooms be purged at the same time or is there a way to limit pruning to the original mChat only and do the rooms separately?

Thanks!

[kasimi]

When you have set up pruning to keep a fixed number of messages, that number applies to each room individually. There is no way to skip rooms when pruning. Adding this to the next release would be fairly simple though.

That would be really helpful, thank you!

Another (small?) feature request - it would be great if mChat (+rooms) could remember which room you were in last when you leave and then return.

Related, would be nice if pressing the Archive button would take you to the archive of the rooms you are actually in.

Not donor, but why not to suggest something, yep?
Maybe notifications number of posts you're missed would be helpful.
I see it like that:

• Able for administrator to put users in channels whithout their agreement.
• Able to chaning order of channels (now they are oredering only by alphabet and if you're want to place channels in specified order, single way to do it – changing first letter of names).
• List of users, who has access to this private channel too (now we can see creator only).
• Able to pin messages or to specifiy static message for each channel (now we have one for all of them).

Great ideas everyone! Keep them coming!

Feel free to quote already posted ideas if you like to see them added, so that I get an idea of what's most wanted.

I like the idea, but at the moment I'm not sure how much effort this would take to implement. I will look into it, but no promises.

Added to the todo list.

This should already work, although not in a persistent way. The number of unread messages (badge) is only displayed and updated if you're in the chat. They are lost after a page refresh. Changing this to make it work across page loads is a huge task and I haven't planned to add this anytime soon. I want to add more valuable features and things that are easier to implement first.

Able for administrator to put users in channels whithout their agreement.

I assume you want this to happen with AJAX, without the user being moved having to refresh the page? I think it's possible but again, quite complicated to implement.

Able to chaning order of channels

This is implemented and currently being tested. Unless there are unexpected problems, the ability to sort rooms will be available in the next version.

List of users, who has access to this private channel too

I like the idea! Added to the todo list.

Able to pin messages or to specifiy static message for each channel

I might look into this, but at the moment it has low priority.

Maybe add an option to move messages to another room?

No, I meant just update mchat_rooms_sessions and mchat_rooms_users via gui.
