Delete Message
There is only way one to delete a message inside of pimentaCHAT, but it only requires the message’s _id being passed in.
Requirements
| Logged In | Permission | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | delete-message |
Message_AllowDeleting - “Allow Message Deleting” |
Example Call
All that is needed to delete a message is passing the _id of the message.
{
"msg": "method",
"method": "deleteMessage",
"id": "42",
"params": [ { "_id": message_id } ]
}
Example Response
{
"msg": "result",
"id": "42",
"result": []
}
Additional Information
As mentioned in requirements, you must be logged in to be able to delete a message. Two settings apply, Message_AllowDeleting and then Message_AllowDeleting_BlockDeleteInMinutes. The first setting is a boolean, true/false, and the second setting is an integer that can be 0 for always being allowed to delete or it can be greater than zero which the deleting with be disallowed/blocked after the time has passed.
Having the permission delete-message will allows deletion of any message, but still respects Message_AllowDeleting_BlockDeleteInMinutes setting.
Having the permission force-delete-message allows the deletion of any message, and it ignores the setting Message_AllowDeleting_BlockDeleteInMinutes.
