TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

[Paul B]

It requires a new table.

If I wanted the url to appear as mydomain.com/chat instead of mydomain.com/taigachat/ what files would i need to edit?

Is this possible?

I really love this addon. Still playing with it in my test area but very well put together.

You would need to edit the route and Route/Prefix/TaigaChat.php

Good. Does it need database modification?

Yes but it is both done and undone automatically, and does not affect any existing tables.

Hi, i have uploaded the contents of the upload file to the forum root but am unsure what to do with the xml file. Where do i upload it to? Sorry im pretty new to all this and haven't worked out how to install add-ons properly yet.

Thanks

Hey Darkimimortal, One question or possible feature suggestion if it's possible.

Can we have an option to pop out this shoutbox into it's own window? My staff and I were using it and we kept leaving the shoutbox to go find things we wanted to change and talk about and then coming back to the shoutbox, and the idea hit that if this could be popped out somehow, then people could chat and continue to use the site.

I don't know if it's possible, hard to do or what but I figured I would ask.

Thanks!
Jamie

Log in to your ACP. Then on that first page, you'll see "Install Add-on" in the left menu list. Click on that. On the next page, click on the browse button, find the XML file on your computer, then click the Install Add-On button.

That's a really good idea actually - plus it would give the navbar dropdown menu some use until I write an archive page

Install. Thank you.

Can I configure when click the SHOUTBOX tab, it open a new browser window?

 

[CFodder]

Gotta agree with Jamie, that'd be a great idea .

I have no idea DAV. You'll have to wait for a tech-type person to help you with that.

It would appear the XML file is getting corrupted during transfer - try installing it via ftp rather than http upload.

Upload it anywhere, then type the path in 'Install from file on server:' rather than using 'Install from uploaded file:'.

 

[Dav]

Hi Darkimmortal,

Iv just tried this and i get the message "A server error occurred. Please try again later."

Is there any other way to stop the xml file getting corrupted during transfer?

Thanks

 

[TheBoss]

If your using a good reliable FTP program like LeapFTP or CoreFTP or similar it should give you an option to choose the upload methods.

Normally they are Auto , Ascii or Binary...

Try uploading in Binary mode , that should cure the problem...

If not try downloading the whole package again and try uploading the new XML file , as it maybe faulty..

Regards...
