The Union Platform (tm)

hi jeremy,
Union does not currently include a built-in chat transcripting feature, but you could write one quite easily using a server-side room module. for info on modules, see:

http://www.unionplatform.com/?page_id=1072

Technically, you could also write a transcript all client-side using a series of numerically named room attributes, such as:

msg1=hi
msg2=hello
...

to manage the message numbers, in a separate room attribute, you'd need to keep a counter of the number of messages. for example code, see:

http://www.unionplatform.com/?page_id=599

However, unless you are just experimenting and prefer to avoid server-side code, I would not recommend the client-side approach because it is highly vulnerable to client-side tampering (i.e., someone could easily write a client to remove all the messages, change messages, or change the counter). From a network traffic perspective, the client-side approach would also be much more verbose than a server-maintained transcript.

Transcripting is on our post-1.0 roadmap.

Any chance someone has worked on a server-side transcript module? I'm definitely interested if there's one available.

Thanks,
Aaron
