 Without going to into a lot of detail as to the reason why, I need to know if there is a way that I can pull the IM logs on a specific member out of the phpMyAdmin Database and if so, how do I do it? This is an extremely important thing and I need a solution extremely fast if it exists. I already know how to get the e-mail logs, but the IM's are not popping the same way.

Okay Guys, I talk to Boonex support, and it appears there is nowhere within the database that IM logs/Chat logs are kept currently. Now I took a look in the database and they are right, but there is a place to keep them. So, the trick is to find the right trick to make the server store them and not just delete them as they come through.
Looking in the database I found the RayIMPending table and it stores IM Messages that have not yet been delivered, showing the sender & intended Receiver's ID's. I also noted the same for a Messages table that stored all e-mails that had not been deleted by members yet.
So, if we can do this with the pending IM's & the E-Mails, why can't we do it with the IM's & Chat logs across the board? For those of us who run the social networking sites that cater to Dating, Underage users, promote personal meetings and so on this would be a great tool to have. I realize it could fill a database and pruning would be needed, but imagine the benefits of storing this data for a short period of time. |
