TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

[Luke F]

Thanks , but I'm completely switching between databases in order to remove a lot of clutter from my DB. I'm pondering writing an additional import option to Paul's vB4 importer to accomplish the migration, while keeping the userids intact

That's a cross database query, it just reads from the table in the old database then you can get rid of it or whatever.

Or have I misunderstood what you want to do?

btw, when u type an email on the chat, it comes out on that way [ email] ***@gmail.com [/ email]

can u fix it so it will only be displayed as an email?

How are you entering the email?
It works fine on my installation just entering the email address on its own.

Unless this is related to one of the latest updates?

 

[gmaister22]

when i type email@gmail.com

it looks that way

 

[Paul B]

Have you got parse all bb code selected in the ACP for chat?

BBCode parser level - Full: Parse all BBCode tags

 

[Luke F]

when i type email@gmail.com

it looks that way

Will add [email] to the 'basic' BBCode level in the next update

Ah yeah i had only the basic ones parshed ... now it works ... by the way , the shout box uses a lot of resources? i want to add a portal also but i am afraid of combining it with the shoutbox also

In my limited experience the resource consumption has been fairly low, mostly thanks to monitoring the document focus which is vastly more effective than the 'idle timers' other shoutboxes use.

I installed the latest version, and while the BBCode bar does show on the full-page chat, it does not on the horizontal one, even if I focus on the textbox.The setting in the AdminCP has been set to enable on all views.

Any thoughts, DI?

Assuming you've tried reuploading/clearing your cache, is 'taigachat_bbcode' present anywhere in the HTML?

Have you reverted all the templates?

 

[gmaister22]

just a cool idea u could add on ur next update is:

you can add the basic colors pre-default on a dropdown menu (same with smilies)

 

[SchmitzIT]

Thanks, DI. Upgrading did address the issue. I'm guessing it might not have worked earlier due to the template having been altered in the style I was viewig it in (I'm so used to having TMS on vB that I keep forgetting to make changes in all my templates )

Yup I've got something like that planned

My apologies, this thread gets updated a lot and I missed the previous messages. Reverted the templates and run the upgrade again. It's working smoothly. Thanks dark for the mod and the head-spinning upgrades

how to add the smilies in the horizontal version (above forums) ?

As long as you have the BBCode toolbar option set on 'Full, Popup and Alternative views only' or 'Enabled in all views, including sidebar' it should just work.

Though you have to focus the message box first, just like the sidebar version.

Can you just slow down a bit so I can get the latest version installed?

I'm still on yesterday's version, about 3 behind...
