Description
It would be nice if there was an option in the settings page of the module to insert a date/time stamp on each chat line.

Yeah I see that as a useful feature. If I have any free time, I'll add this as an option.

hi,
see this:
in chatblock.module chatblock_logs_page_view() replace:
$output .= '<div style="width: 160px"><span style="color: red">'.$row['username'].': </span> '. $message .'</div>';width:
$output .= '<div style="width: 90%">';$output .= '<span style="color: blue">'.chatblock_timestamp_to_string($timestamp).' </span> ';
$output .= '<span style="color: red">'.$row['username'].': </span> ';
$output .= $message;
$output .= '</div>';
and insert this function:
function chatblock_timestamp_to_string($timestamp) {return(gmdate( 'y-m-d H:i', intval($timestamp/100)+60*60));
}
greetings

Hi rschaa,
Your hack almost did the trick.
The times are correctly printed in the chat logs page, but not int the chat block itself.
I tried to replace the output in function chatblock_messages() (around line 300 of 5.x-1.0-dev) the same way your did in chatblock_logs_page_view(), and now the timestamps also appear in chatblock, but they all show "70-01-01 1:00". And they show only after a page refresh, not when a message is added.
Any further tip?

The trick to using these on the chatblock messages themselves is to include some similar code in the JS. That should be relatively easy to do.

The insert date/time information would be really good feature in the 6.x-1.x-dev too.

I would love to see this feature in 6.x!
