If cron hasn't run for a few days, it would take several runs for chat_update_chat_times() to get things back on track. Now it's all fixed in one go, saving a bit of DB traffic. It all adds up...
Official Chat Module for Moodle ------------------------------ The chat module now supports a backend daemon for more efficiency. It's still buggy and being worked on, but if you want to test it and help out here are some quick instructions: 1) Admin -> Config -> Modules -> Chat -> Settings 2) Set the method to "sockets" and set up the ports etc 3) Start the server like this (from the Unix command line): cd moodle/mod/chat php chatd.php --start & 4) Go to a chat room in Moodle and open it as normal. ------ KNOWN PROBLEMS - User list is not always working - Some browsers (eg Safari) cause lines to be repeated by 10 - 20 times - Occasionally "Document was empty" messages Help solving these very welcome!
