Chat history

How do I modify the properties on client computers to turn off the “Disable chat history” option in the preferences? I need to make sure that my users chat history is saved on their local machines and I don’t want them to be able to disable logging. Even if I have to disable the entire preference window, that would be ok. I just need to make it so that users are not able to put a check mark in the “Disable chat history” option.

Thanks in advance for you help.

There is no such option and there is an open request ticket for this SPARK-1436 (waiting for someone to create a patch, no active developers at the moment). Other than waiting for this your only option is to modify the source yourself and compile your own Spark version.

Keep in mind that more advanced users can find out that the history is sitting in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Spark\user\username@jservername\transcripts\ folder and will be able to delete it manually whenether they want.
