Conversation Essentials [Paid] 1.14.1

[markku]

Sorry, debug mode does need to be enabled. Changing it to 100 should suffice.

Execution Order 100 fixed it. Now likes bar works.

May I ask if there's any plans to add a feature that splits the Sent/Rerceived conversations?

Like, just links that show conversations you started and then a link to show conversations you didn't start? I could possibly do that, I don't recall ever seeing that suggested.

Really ? Wow, thats a surprise for me since its a default feature on vBulletin and there are so many people that migrated to xenforo. I have set a user to auto send "Welcome Messages" on my board and sometimes the users reply to these messages and its a pain to find the ones that I have already answered or not. I know that by the messages counter I can realize that there';s smth to read but I need a king memory to navegate throw 2-3 pages of messages to remember who i still need to answer or not.

I just got an example of a vB board:

Oh. So it's not a matter of if you started the conversation or not. You want "Inbox" to list the conversations where the last message is not from you, and sent items would list the conversations where you are the last message? Or am I still off? I'm trying to think of the best way this would be integrated without completely changing the core conversation area as that's a little out of the scope of what this add-on does.

Yeah, kind of.. If you replied last, you dont really need to see this, it can be sent to "sent items".. So your inbox could be used to store the messages you received. I have no idea about the effort to develop this, thats why im here just suggesting since its the subject of the addon, hehe.. It could be far by letting the users create folders to store some messages, idk.

@Daniel-SP you could use prefixes to sort your conversations, and make one for the messages you've responded to already. We're migrating from vb and that's what we're suggesting people do.

 

[Daniel Hood]

Folders have been suggested but Syndol originally opted to use prefixes which are a similar concept and I agree since it's more XenForo-ish.

Having "inbox" (messages you haven't responded to) and "sent items" (conversations where you're the last message) is a decent possibility. It wouldn't be too much work to implement, I think a blended view should remain the default though. Maybe just cause I'm used to it at this point and it's normal to me. If you're interested in funding something like this, I can include it. We'll have to work out the details but I think we should resume this conversation in private if you're interested. Otherwise, I still may implement it but I can't make any promises on how long it'll be (or if it even really will come to light).

[Edit] In response to

this is always welcome, everyone

@Daniel Hood: Since upgrading to the lastest version I'm seeing the following errors:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Call to undefined method ConvEss_Model_Conversation::countConversationMessagesForUser() - library/ConvEss/ControllerPublic/Conversation.php:984

#0 [internal function]: XenForo_Application::handleFatalError()
#1 {main}

array(3) {
  ["url"] => string(69) "http://xxxxxx/community/conversations/add?to=xxxxxx"
  ["_GET"] => array(1) {
    ["to"] => string(10) "xxxxxx"
  }
  ["_POST"] => array(0) {
  }
}

And I used addon-ConvEss.xml to upgrade.

 

[Daniel Hood]

I think your files may not have uploaded all of the way. Can you try uploading the library/ConvEss/ folder again, no need to run the xml upgrade.

I tried this. Still getting the errors.

 

[Daniel Hood]

That's odd. I'll look into it. In the mean time you may want to just set that new permission option to Unlimited for everyone, that will basically stop it from even trying to run that function. Sorry.

That solved the errors for now. Thanks.

Prune conversations that haven't had a reply in x days. (Runs on a cron every day, you can set it to 0 to disable the feature).

Would this work on a large forum, to prune conversations that hadn't been upadated in, say, 1826 days? (That's 5 years)

 

[Daniel Hood]

It would/will. Just make sure that's what you want to do, it's not reversible (after it runs).

Well, it costs more than coffee but this feature will be in Moderator Essentials in a week or so

Have you seen the price of coffee lately?

Thanks Daniel! It's great to hear this feature will be integrated into Moderator Essentials! I can hardly wait!

Well, no.. I pretty much only drink coffee at work and it's free.

It's already implemented, just going to release it shortly. As a bonus:

Might even be nice to have an option to do the opposite, providing there's nothing private being exposed, of course. That could be useful in some situations. For example, a discussion in a conversation about, say, movies that got going. Starting a thread and having it full of quotes from what User A and User B already discussed would not look so aesthetically pleasing.

This might be implemented in Conversation Essentials. I can see it being abused so I think it'll include an option to make it so it's sent to moderation queue first to make sure there are not any personal details or anything

 

[Daniel Hood]

I have now released the version of Moderator Essentials that has this feature included.

Awesome - upgrading now. Let's see who my test subjects will be....
