from jquery-php-chat (first version) to a simple forum

[fabrizio]

hi!
I need an help to realize a little forum.
I start by the code of a chat on this tutorial:

https://css-tricks.com/jquery-php-chat/

only I need to make a little change: i want to see messages sent in the past sessions, when I open my room.
Substantially, I want to see in chat-area what is writen in chat.txt when I open my page.

May you help me for this?

thanks a lot

ok…
now I have done this:
if I comment this in the process.php:

foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line)
{
// if($line_num >= $state){
$text[] = $line = str_replace("n", "", $line);
// }

}

I see all the messages of the past sessions, before my connection, but only after I sent one message.
If I don’t send anything, I don’t see anuthing in the "chat-area"…

I have the same result if I put var state=0; in chat.js and putting in comment //chat.getState(); in index.php

But it is not enought becouse I need to see any old message, when I restart the page

what can I do?

many many thanks

ok… I have done..

state=0; in file chat.js
// getStateOfChat() ; commented in Index.php
+
inside Index.php:
window.onload(){

chatUpdate(); // display all chat.txt….

setInterval (‘chatUpdate()’,100000 ); so my scroll bar works again.

Thanks a lot, for your good job.

bye
