Conversation Essentials [Paid] 1.14.1

[andrewkm]

Im having an issue with my inbox looking as such:
(Notice the screwed up avatar and out of order stuff)

EDIT: The weird thing is this is only happening to me and no one else on the site. Literally just me. I tried 5+ browsers, cleared cache, you name it I believe I've tried it....

Any ideas?

Could have something to do with your local cloudflare server? Maybe...

Nope tried from different location... literally one on east coast usa and one on west.

That's not a bug. It has to do with the length of the username and date.
Simply click the word "Participants" to display the participants as text instead of avatars.

This doesn't have the feature that allows you to send mass pm's to user groups or the whole site in general, does it?

Ye, that worked. Thank you for the fix.

Hi David,

Is it possible to eliminate about 20 queries? There is a separate query for each PC, and if you have 30-40 of them on the same page, it creates a problem.
on the private conversation list, I have around 44 queries, which can be reduced drastically and make the add-on a lot more efficient.

This is the query:

12:54 SELECT conversation_recipient.*,
user.*, user_option.*

FROM xf_conversation_recipient AS conversation_recipient
LEFT JOIN xf_user AS user ON
(user.user_id = conversation_recipient.user_id)
LEFT JOIN xf_user_option AS user_option ON
(user_option.user_id = user.user_id)
WHERE conversation_recipient.conversation_id = ?
ORDER BY user.username

Thanks in advance.

If you select the modified view of the conversation list then that adds one query per conversation in order to fetch the recipients.
Edit:
I'll look into fetching the recipients in batches by conversation ID.
Edit 2:
I've changed the code so it now takes one query per page for the recipients.

David has been the very BEST developer I have had yet to work with! I ran in to a problem, that wasn't really even a problem come to find out, but he helped me sort it out and even tweaked something for me to fit my personal needs... and then proceeded to escort me through the process of how to upgrade the existing add on I had! I am only a couple weeks old when it comes to XF... so I know NOTHING as far as anything related to installing, coding, or even how to add an add on... I pay people to do it for me! But they were out, and he offered, and I love learning new things and being independent! I knew vB in an out pretty much, so guess you could say I am a virgin here! LOL! Geez did that sound crass? Sorry staff!

Anyway, Moderator's Essentials and Conversation Essentials are MUST HAVE's for any forum!

Participants' small avatars covering quick pagination links that appear when hover over a row. What if z-index is decreased? on any other potential solutions?

 

[Syndol]

Finding the right spot to place those avatars has always been a pain.
Changing the z-index doesn't seem to make a difference. Perhaps someone with knowledge in CSS and HTML could help.

I think earlier these avatars were placed and aligned on the opposite side of the conversation title. To me, that was a nice thing. But now it makes a mess and there is too much noise on one side while the other side is almost empty. This spot is good for text placement but not for the avatars. Opposite side placement will solve the overlapping issue as well in most cases. In addition to that, it has inline CSS and can't easily be targeted from external CSS file to change the behavior. I guess the wrapping DIV needs a class property and styles should be kept in a CSS template.

For now we have a custom template modification like this.

Template: convess_conversation_list_item

Find:

<div style="position:absolute;display:block;{xen:if $pageIsRtl, 'right', 'left'}:170px;">

Replace:

<div style="position:absolute;display:block;{xen:if $pageIsRtl, 'left', 'right'}:10px;">

We have switched the placement right/left and and value from 170 to 10px.

I do like this and the User Essentials but 1.2 already has much of the stuff the Essentials pack adds which makes the combined price a bit hefty. I think a combined User/Conversation essentials package for about £20 would be quite a must have. Any plans for something like this?
