Chat by Siropu [Paid] 1.25.1

[Siropu]

@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.

When the admin adds members, the chat bot should display a notification too.

It does. If you are using option "Display in new tab" for forum activity, it will display there. Else, in the general chat room.

But having to use chat commands to initiate a private chat is way too user unfriendly.

How so? When you click the private conversations tab, it shows how to start a conversation. When you start a normal conversation with someone, you have to enter both a subject and a message. In the chat, you have to type the username and a message. If the user is in the same room as you, the option is in the user's options menu and you would only have to type the message.

In testing there's permanently a 1 above the chat tab

That means that there is 1 person in the rooms.

I'd like the ability to 'Like' individual messages too.

In 1.25.0 you can like room messages but not private messages.

You're right about the notice - however I completely missed that, it didn't register as I was looking for a dedicated button near the private conversation tab.

In conversations you have dedicated 'To', 'Subject', and 'Message' fields. To non-technical users the idea of passing commands into a single text entry box is very unfamiliar and unintuitive.

Plus, it means there's no autocompletion of usernames, which is kind if necessary as so many users have oddly spelt names.

In 1.25.0 you can like room messages but not private messages.

That's cool, it would be good to have it added for private conversation in the future.

I am sorry but no. I use the extra tab but I do not have any register messages. Even not in the chat archive. And I added a couple of users in the last days.

 

[Siropu]

I am sorry but no.

If you are creating the user from admin area with status "valid", the notice will post. I don't see any issues while testing.

 

[Freelancer]

I create the user with status "waiting for approval" and then approve him. This is necessary because an email will be send to the user then and not when I set him as "valid" directly.

Feature request:
Please consider to add a recipient input box with autocomplete, similar to how conversations work. 'Add User'
This would be really nice for our members.

The giphy tag doesn't seem to work if it follows a user tag.

 

[RobinHood]

I'll sometimes get the xenforo broken image icon when using the giphy command. Any idea why? The link itself works perfectly if I try to load it seperately

There is a template called siropu_chat_rooms_tabs that is included in siropu_chat template. Try changing the position of the include above the chat main div. I don't know if it will work, but try it.

My apologies but can you please tell me more about this change because I don't understand...

I will make some changes to include status "waiting for approval" as well.

Commands only work if they are used first.

Are you using SSL? That's probably the issue and it will be fixed in 1.25.0

In siropu_chat template, move

<xen:if is="{$chatMultiRooms} AND {$chatEmbedRooms}">
        <xen:include template="siropu_chat_rooms_tabs" />
    </xen:if>

Above this:

<div id="siropuChat"...

Much appreciated.

Ahh, that's a shame. It would be nice to be able tag a user and send them a gif at the same time.

Yep, cool

Wow, what an update!

 

[The Sandman]

I've installed the latest RC version on TAZ for testing - any idea why I can't get status messages to show up?

 

[Siropu]

You mean chat user status? Show up where?

 

[The Sandman]

You mean chat user status? Show up where?

Well, where should it show up?

 

[Siropu]

It shows below the username in chatters list for rooms.

 

[The Sandman]

It's not showing up on TAZ (neither our custom style nor the default XF style).
