[Exodus-dev] MUC history with date stamp using Exodus

Is there a way to date stamp messages in MUC chat rooms using Exodus? When
my users enter a MUC chat room they see time stamps but no date stamps on
old messages so it is hard to tell what messages were posted on the previous
days. I have been told by David Sutton that "the MUC process automatically
adds a datestamp on all 'old' messages - ie messages that have been sent
before you arrived in the room. The timestamp is added using the
jabber:x:delay extension. The server provides the information, its then up
to the client to give that information to the user."

I have not seen a way to tell Exodus to dates stamp the messages in history.
Is there a way to do this?

It's possible to print the date.... it would mean a code change in the
jabber:x:delay processing. Please file a feature request on the website.

This works for me:

Tools -> Options -> Messages -> check 'Timestamp Message' and change
mask to (for example) d/m/y : t

We don't use this: we modified Exodus to print day headers at the start
of each day (and then print just the time against each post as per the
default).

That sounds right. Do you also handle the case where the room is up
over night?

Can you send in a patch?

Can do - it's possibly a bit of a hack (I had to convert, in ignorance,
some optional parameters to methods to mandatory to make it work. I am
no delphi expert)

Yes rooms up over night is handled. Simply, the last post to a room is
stored (by Room.pas) and each post is compared to that - if the post is
a new day a date is printed

Attached are the changed files from 0.9.1.1. Should have 5 .pas files -
may be stripped by our firewall

Thanks Joe, I tried what you said and it worked! I wish there was a way to
do this on the server side so that all Jabber clients would see the same
date stamp in MUC chat rooms.

This works for me:

Tools -> Options -> Messages -> check 'Timestamp Message' and change mask to
(for example) d/m/y : t

We don't use this: we modified Exodus to print day headers at the start of
each day (and then print just the time against each post as per the
default).
