Improvements & Bug Fixes

@Siropu ,
appreciate how you are continously improving this add-on, but I am struggeling with the latest improvement regarding Added right Chat navigation icon with active user count on mobile when Chat navigation is enabled.. Could you please add an option to disable this function in the ACP? The reason why I am asking for this is, that the user bar on our site is already filled up to the last bit and another icon there results in an unrecognizable logo size and busts the layout on mobiles.

Any chance? Thanks!

Just add in extra.less

.p-navgroup-link--chat
{
    display: none;
}

The icon is added via JS, no template modifications.

Already done as a hotfix But it would be good to have an option in the ACP, for ease of use. Anyway, thanks for your swift response!

Since update to 2.1.10 is.
"has joined the room" / "has left the room"
in english.
Before "hat den Raum betreten" / "hat den Raum verlassen" was in german.
But I can not find this in the phrases.

Solved.
I re-import the german translation.

Hey Siropu, do you have any plans to convert chat into a python or nodejs application? This would save a lot of unnecessary update requests made by chat participants. Instead, the chat can use websockets to connect to the chat server and the chat server can send an update when one is available.

My chat is not very active but almost all the traffic on my forum comes from the chat requesting updates.

(I have decreased the chat update intervals in the settings, but of course a python or node backend would be much better as it could deliver instant updates. It would be an instant messenger chat.)

 

[Siropu]

I was planing to but it turns out that it's not that easy and it complicates things too much.
I'm thinking of building a new chat add-on based on websockets from the start so we'll see.

Hello @Siropu,

thanks for adding this latest option:

Added admin option to hide the Chat on certain pages when using "All pages mode".

Would it be possible to also add an option to show the chat on certain pages only rather than hide it? I want to display the chat only on a few specific pages, therefore I would have to add an incredible number of URLs to achieve what I want.

 

[Siropu]

If you use the * wildcard, you won't have to add that many URLs.

 

[Finexes]

Actually I want the chat to be displayed only on forum_list, forum_view and thread_view, so what would be the fastest way to achieve this?

@Siropu is it possible to make the chat parse links users enter?

 

[Siropu]

so what would be the fastest way to achieve this?

Edit the Chat widget and in the "Display condition" field add: in_array($xf.reply.template, ['forum_list', 'forum_view', 'thread_view'])

is it possible to make the chat parse links users enter?

You mean link posted URLs? It works like that by default.

Strange, not for me

don't have a problem with links anywhere else on site.

 

[Siropu]

Unless you have the "Link" BB Code disabled in the Chat admin options, I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

Hi @Siropu ,

Love the addon, and was just wondering if there is a way to:
1. Disable post counts when linking a chat to a thread?
2. Prevent posts made in chat appearing under "New Posts"?

For purely examples sake, I might have a forum layout like this:

MAIN DISCUSSION (Category):

General F1 Discussion - Talking about races in general. Post Counts Enabled.​

F1 Race Discussion - Each race a thread would be opened, chat enabled, and people can discuss the race live in chat (or posting in the thread).​

OTHER MOTORSPORT

Rallying/Rallycross Discussion​

Circuit Racing Discussion​

Indy Car Discussion​

​

Re #1: For F1 Race Discussion, I don't want posts in chat to count towards that users message count, only those posted in the thread directly. This is to prevent massive message counts that are kinda inaccurate. The alternative I guess would be to have 2 threads (Live Thread, and Live Chat Thread), but that gets messy.

Re #2 I know some users like to use the New Posts option, but I want to avoid them hitting that option and then getting bombarded with say 300 messages from people typing in chat. I realise I can create a minimum character number for the comment in chat appearing in the thread, but that may not be enough.

Happy for anyones thoughts on this one.

 

[Siropu]

I'm sorry, no plans for such changes. You could achieve this by using a forum where posts do not count and exclude that forum in the recent posts widget.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I found the setting under Options to "Prevent Posts/Threads" coming up under New Posts/Threads.

With regards to the post count I'll just have to decide if I want to include them or not. I guess I could even create a thread for chat posts only, and merge that with the other after the race. Have to play around and see what's best and easiest.

Hey Siropu can you add a link to "View Profile" when you click a player in the chat online list? I find it very annoying that I cant access users' profiles for moderation purposes straight from chat.

 

[Siropu]

I think it was requested before if I'm not mistaken. I can add it.

Thanks! ( :
