Chat by Siropu [Paid] 1.25.1

[Siropu]

So you have set your own chat status using the /status command or via the options menu "Update Status" and it doesn't show up under the username in the chatters list in rooms?

 

[The Sandman]

Correct - we've been setting the status but it doesn't seem to show up under the username.

 

[Siropu]

You are testing it with rooms or in private chatting? It doesn't show up in private chatting.
Make sure there are no outdated chat templates.
Also there is a user setting that hides statuses, see if it's checked in your user chat settings.
It doesn't show up if the user is ignored.

 

[The Sandman]

Testing it in rooms. Option is enabled. Permissions are given. Hide status is unchecked. No outdated Chat templates.

 

[Siropu]

Then I don't see any reason why it wouldn't show up. You are the first person to report this and status feature has been implemented a while ago. Please provide a test account to take a look.

Looks like the Sidebar Chat Widget needs some layout optimization for Private Chats.

 

[Siropu]

What resolution is that? Try clearing the browser cache and try again. I don't see this issue on Chrome or Firefox in mobile view.

Ummm 1920 x 1200 px... its just the sidebar. The Browser is Safari 10.0.3...

 

[Siropu]

You are right, sidebar display mode looks like that.

Got these errors, seems like the upgrade didn't create some tables/columns?

Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception: Mysqli prepare error: Unknown column 'message_like_count' in 'field list' - library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php:77

Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception: Mysqli prepare error: Table 'xf_siropu_chat_private_messages' doesn't exist - library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php:77

Edit: Reinstalled the add-on, and it looks like the update created those entities now.

@marquisite, if you know PHP. you can extend actionSubmit method in Siropu_Chat_ControllerPublic_Chat controller and add your own commands. If input matches the command, generate the message and insert. Else return parent method.

Cheers ... I now have a date countdown command working and this code lives in a separate file (so that it won't be overwritten during a chat update).

On a different topic, I've been testing the chat (1.24.5) for a few days and noticed that once I've been idle in the chat long enough, when I've been removed from a room's chatters list there does not seem to be a way to leave that room without submitting a new chat message ... is this right? If so have you thought about possibly adding a leave room button/link in the rooms menu? I've attached a screenshot of two possible implementations - one way might be to change the "Join Room" button to "Leave Room" if joined or another way might to change the "Joined ✓" text into a leave room link .

 

[Siropu]

@marquisite, there are 3 ways to leave a room: 1. Type /leave or /quit 2. Use the "Leave Room" option in chatters list user options. 3. Double lick the room tab. If you don't want to display a message when quitting room, diable the bot notification for room leave.

 

[marquisite]

@Siropu OK, I wasn't aware of the double click to leave option, that'll work so thanks

FYI It is option 2 that isn't possible when being idle for long enough:

 

[Siropu]

That's not a problem since you still have 2 options left.
You can even use the shortcut command /q instead of /quit for faster input.

 

[Daxor10]

@Siropu for a new installation can I use the RC1 or should I wait for the 1.25.0 final version?

 

[Siropu]

It's up to you. RC1 seems to be pretty stable. No major bugs have been found so far.

Once you are in a private conversation, how do you exit out of it and go back to the main chat page without leaving all the private convos?

 

[XxUnkn0wnxX]

not sure if bug, but when starting a private conversation via the GUI not command. the input text field keeps auto focusing to the main input field. as in if i am trying to start a new conversation with some 1 it wont let me fully type in that users name as it keeps auto focusing to the following input field:

also where is the Like button next to a message? because i don't see it?
