Description
I'm using v1.50.2.27 2006/12/13 and love the progress you're making! I'm a teacher, and our org is looking to use this module with organic groups to allow collaborative planning spaces for teachers...we may be able to offer some support, if needed. We're at http://www.openplanner.org
Bug Report:
A chat that has been set to "auto archive" doesn't appear to get "closed," and the ability to close it in the "manage chats" form inside the chatroom editing window goes away after all users have left the chat. This leaves the chat up on the active chats block, and makes it impossible to remove the chat without going into the DB and manually deleting its entry.
#1
Looking at the DB tables, it appears that a chatroom that has been set to "autoarchive" doesn't actually archive inactive chats...as no timestamp is being registered in the chatroom_chat table...if a timestamp is placed in the DB, the active chats block no longer shows the chat. So this is likely a problem autoarchive function...
#2
I just installed chatroom and got this behavior too. It's a real pain in the neck, and I had to turn the module off because of it.
#3
I have had the same problem too. If I use the auto archive feature, the Chat is not archived when the users leave the chat or logout of the website.
Also I'm not sure, but it looks as if there isn't any way to limit the number of messages stored in the database for a particular chat. I don't plan on having multiple chats but I really like this module and wonder if I'm just not setting the options correctly
#4
Would someone please specify the version number that is affected by this bug?

The problem still exists in this.

#8
This feature has been removed in CVS commit 52713. I couldn't think of a way to make it work without the chats getting archived before they even started.
The chat room edit form now offers the option to manually close chats.
