Create chat message in history with date_sent in the past

[coredream]

I'm trying to inject some old messages to an existing Quickblox group chat dialog. The links below describe what I'm trying to do:

http://quickblox.com/developers/Web_XMPP_Chat_Sample#Put_chat_messages_to_history http://quickblox.com/developers/Chat#Create_message

I'm using the code below, and it runs successfully:

    var timestamp = 1443072988;  // 2015-09-24
    var params = {
        chat_dialog_id: dialogId,
        message: text,
        date_sent: timestamp
    };

    // Send the message
    QB.chat.message.create(params, function(err, res) { });

However, it seems that the date_sent parameter is ignored. Is setting a custom date_sent parameter supported?

Can you show your request and response log?

Here is my request and response log. The message gets created successfully, but it gets saved with the current date:

[MessageProxy] create { chat_dialog_id: '566a18d0a0eb479538001198',
  message: 'This is a test message with date 9/24/2015',
  date_sent: 1443072988,
  customMsgType: 'system' }
[ServiceProxy] Request:  POST { data: '{"url":"https://api.quickblox.com/chat/Message.json","type":"POST","data":{"chat_dialog_id":"566a18d0a0eb479538001198","message":"This is a test message with date 9/24/2015","date_sent":1443072988,"customMsgType":"system"}}' }

Callback result:

1443072988 -> Thu, 24 Sep 2015 05:36:28 GMT (your time)

1453137335 -> Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:15:35 GMT (chat backend time)

by some reason you have wrong time on your machine
that's why the backend overrides it

[coredream]

Yes, that was my original question. I want the timestamp of the message to be Thu, 24 Sep 2015 05:36:28 GMT.
So it sounds like Quickblox does not allow setting the date_sent parameter to a custom time in the past.

Yes, it doesn't
