Deleting viewer copy of individual messages

[dawgbone]

Any plans on implementing this?

Basically, if you have a conversation, I should be able to delete (set the status to 0) either a message I've sent or received so that I no longer see it, but the other person (or people if it's a group) still do.

I've created a function for this outside your core library, but the one downside is if you delete the last message (set the status to 0 for the user), that conversation won't return when you call TBMsg::getUserConversations(userID), because it only checks the last created message in a conversation for a status that isn't either deleted or archived.

Yes of course this is a must!
I would try to do it soon, could you elaborate of the problem you found please

[dawgbone]

It's not really a problem, more of a missing feature.

You can delete a conversation, but you can't delete a message. I made a work around myself, which just sets the message_status.status = 0 for that userID & msg_id.

This works out fine, except when you delete the last message in a conversation. If you try and retrieve that conversation, it only looks for the very last message created and because the status is set to 0, it thinks you've deleted the entire conversation instead of just the last message.

Once there is a new message in the conversation, TBMsg::getUserConversations can find it again because the last message isn't archived or deleted.

OK now I understand, yes the get conversations was quite hard.

OK I'll recheck that when let message is deleted

thanks for the great feedback, Im working on version 3, and I'll keep that situation in my mind!
