Hi, I did something similar to this for the chat I created on my phpBB forum. Basically, there are two thing you want to achieve: Log history and transmis to only one client instead of transmitting to everybody in the channel, am I right?
For the chat history, I suggest that you use MySQL. I don't think Ape support this out of the box. You could keep all the messages in a server side variable, but you'll lose everything once you restart Ape and it's not that usefull that Ape knows everything. When the page is loaded, you get the data from MySQL and voila. If you have MySQL support working within Ape, it's a piece of cake to add in a custom server side command. If you don't have MySQL support like me, you can send the data to MySQL with a background AJAX request. For the one-to-one chat, you can send a custom raw to a specific user from a custom server side command. Have a look at those two pages: http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/users/getuserbypubid.html http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/users/user.pipe.html - Louis On Nov 25, 9:47 pm, Rossco <ros...@rossco-designs.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I need some help with what I'm trying to achieve for a gaming website > I run.
