Subject: How to Clear the Chatting History of a room from server side?
Hi All, I find whenever i join a room, the server will send all the chatting history of the room to my jabber client.
To reduce the traffic loads, I want to clear the chatting history from the jabber server.  Can anyone please help me?Thanks!

Hello,

When joining the chat room you can disable the history, or overwrite the default settings for the history.

See 7.1.16 in XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat

especially this xml example:
Quote by from XEP-0045:
Example 36. User Requests No History

  1. <presence
  2.    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
  3.    to='darkcave@macbeth.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  4.  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>
  5.     <history maxchars='0'/>
  6.  </x>
  7. </presence>

I think this question came up several times here in the forums yet.
We could add a function JoinWithoutHistory history to the MucManager or a boolean parameter to the Join function if this is requested and helpful.

Hello, Alex! Thank you so much for your help and please forgive my poor English :).
I think the way you mentioned above is only to change the query conditions at the client side, but those messages stored in the server will still be there and that will bring more and more storage at hard disk . If I want to clear chat history from the jabber server, then how can I do?
Thanks!

When you create a new chat room can configure whether the rooms will be logged or not.
But this depends also on the server software you are using.
You should contact your server vendor for this.

I checked in new Muc code which allows you to join a room and disable the history now.
