Shoutbox by Siropu [Paid] 2.1.2

[Siropu]

Not forgotten but I don't want to add too many features is this add-on since I want to keep it lite.

Hello and thank you !

I have updated the add-on (last release : 1.3.4 ) but i don't see the options for user age restriction & minimum time between shouts.

 

[Siropu]

They are at the top of the list.

 

[Adam44]

They are at the top of the list.

Ok i see. The minimum age required is in which unit ?

 

[Siropu]

Unit is in years.

 

[Adam44]

Unit is in years.

I did that in namespace Siropu\Shoutbox\XF\Entity to have the required age in day

     public function hasRequiredAge()
     {
          $visitor = \XF::visitor();
          //$minAge  = \XF::options()->siropuShoutboxMinAge;

          if ($visitor->user_id && $visitor->Profile)
          {
                $interval = now() - $visitor->register_date; // register_date (timestamp)
              
                if ($interval > 86400 * 3) { // seniority of the account in seconds
                    return false;
                }
          }

          return true;
     }

For those who want to display a message to users who are not able to use the shoutbox let pass the parameter required_age in namespace Siropu\Shoutbox\Widget , i did like that.

    public function render()
    {
        $visitor = \XF::visitor();

        if ($visitor->hasPermission('siropuShoutbox', 'view'))
        {
            return $this->renderer('siropu_shoutbox', [
                'shoutbox' => $this->getShoutboxParams(['height' => $this->options['height'], 'required_age' => $visitor->hasRequiredAge() ]),
                'title'    => $this->getTitle() ?: \XF::phrase('siropu_shoutbox')
            ]);
        }
    }

then in siropu_shoutbox template you can do something like that...

<xf:if is="$shoutbox.required_age">
    siropu_shoutbox_template...
<xf:else />
    <div class="alert-danger">
        You cannot use the shoutbox, you need to be registered since XX days/seconds
    </div>
</xf:if>

This is good for you ?
I can do better ?

 

[Siropu]

The change you made has nothing to do with the actual option. The age refers to the user age based on the date of birth.

 

[Adam44]

Impossible to display parameter like that "{$shoutbox.height}" in full page shoutbox template. Why ?

 

[Siropu]

Why would that be available? Height is controlled by CSS.

 

[Adam44]

Just for understand^^, how can i use parameters in full page shoutbox template ? (i can pay)

 

[Siropu]

What parameters?

 

[Adam44]

What parameters?

{$shoutbox.XXX} parameters

 

[Siropu]

What are you looking for exactly? The only parameters used by the shoutbox are the ones that you can see in the siropu_shoutbox template.

Hi, silly issue - smiley shortcuts don't convert into images, text shortcuts are displayed instead, and there's no smileys button even if I enable it. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Siropu]

Enable BBcodes as well.

 

[Manya]

Thank you very much!

 

[Manya]

OK, great add-on, thank you for developing it.
Got two suggestions:

1. It's styled as a node whether it's displayed on top/bottom of nodes list or in sidebar. I'd like it even more if it were styled as a sidebar widget, when it's in sidebar.
   
2. I'd like the option to hide/remove time stamps. Clutters the view on small screens/widgets.

 

[Siropu]

I'd like the option to hide/remove time stamps.

On all devices?

 

[Manya]

On all devices?

Whichever is easier. Ideally I'd like timestamps to disappear if the box width is less than, say, 300px (because of device screen size, or because it's a sidebar widget, or because the user resized their window, whichever the case). If that's too much of a headache - then just an option to remove them altogether, on all devices.

PS: same suggestion for Chat 2 addon
