on my main forum my CHAT icon has a little red ONE next to it but there are no new messages and it will not go away when clicked in?

Do you mean the one that says how many users are in the room? That is normal.

 

[Tasanar]

There is no one in the room though?

 

[Tasanar]

I thought maybe it was the number of messages in the chat. Because there are two. However was hopeing it would reset to not show the RED when I clicked inside and read them.

 

[Siropu]

@Tasanar, that number represents the total number of users in all rooms.

@Siropu when using the chat on the forum index, how can I shrink the size and distance between responses so it takes up less vertical room? i'm shooting for something more along the lines of what they have on the admin zone. screenshot included:

Try this code:

.siropuChatForumsList .siropuChatMessages > li {margin: 2px 0 !important;}

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Try this code:

.siropuChatForumsList .siropuChatMessages > li {margin: 2px 0 !important;}

new

old

there are roughly 9 lines of chat showing still, which i think is contributing to making it too large.

another thing i noticed, on mobile, when you add in a bbcode, it places the cursor outside the code on the right side, which is pretty annoying to have to focus and place back inside the code.

 

[Siropu]

Try margin: 0 instead.
Not sure I understand the mobile issue.

the spacing is definitely better. now i'd like to shrink the height of the overall box so that less lines of chat show.

the mobile issue - when you insert a bbcode, the cursor does not stay inside the code, but jumps to the outside as if you were going to continue typing after the code. on mobile, it forces you to hold the screen and move the cursor inside and then paste whatever you were trying to place inside the brackets.

You can change the height using chat style properties "Content Container".
When using text bbcodes such as bold, italic, underline, you can first type your text, select it and then click the bbcode button.

Will test that later and report back, thanks.

That works great on the desktop but highlighting things on mobile is a huge pain in the ass. Easier to paste between the codes or type out from there. Even on desktop it would only necessitate an extra mouse click to move the cursor back outside the codes.

tried this out and it changes the height of the box on the chat page as well.

 

[Siropu]

Use this instead:

.siropuChatForumsList .siropuChatContent {height: 150px !important;}

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Use this instead:

.siropuChatForumsList .siropuChatContent {height: 150px !important;}

that doesn't seem to be working at all.

 

[Siropu]

Sorry about that, this should work:

.siropuChatForumsList #siropuChatContent {height: 150px !important;}

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Sorry about that, this should work:

.siropuChatForumsList #siropuChatContent {height: 150px !important;}

that worked. thanks siropu.

anything you think can be done about the bbcode cursor issue? get it to function more like the ones in the editor?

 

[Siropu]

Chat uses a simple custom editor, XF uses "Redactor". It cannot work the same.
I will make some changes to insert cursor between the bbcode tags when you click on a bbcode button.
