TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

[Xarcell]

I've installed this add-on(mind you I've only been using xenForo for only an hour).

I checked my options, it is enabled, but I don't see it? When I go to "mydomain/taigachat/" , it says I do not have permission. Even though I am the admin? No tab appears, even though that is also enabled in the options.

eventhough you are the admin, you still need to change the permission
thats how TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox works

 

[Xarcell]

Can you tell me how or redirect me to the doc for it?

I tried before I posted this. I don't think I did it right.

NVM, I figured it out.

Thanks.

The height adjustment in the admin panel should work for the above/below forum list template too.

Only adjust the full page shoutbox has effect. Adjust the default from 300 to 200, neither shoutbox in side bar nor above forum list changed.

I want to remove the 10px padding on the main chat screen.

I think it's this line in the dark_taigachat_chatbox template:
<div class="<xen:if is="{$taigachat_sidebar}">secondaryContent<xen:else />primaryContent</xen:if>">

The 10px padding is actually part of the XenForo primaryContent css, so what's the best way to remove/override that?

One other thing, when posting an image or video, there is no padding between the name and the content.
For example:



If there is some way of putting a few px padding in, I feel it would look much better

No worries on this one, I managed to work it out

<div class="<xen:if is="{$taigachat_sidebar}">secondaryContent<xen:else />primaryContent </xen:if>"style="padding: 0px">

Thought I'd post that I tested the shoutbox today, by posting in it from my iPhone.
Works great!

I decided to use the full page option . Because, I am having server load issue if I make it appear in the sidebar. Until now I am loving this idea (full page) , but it would be better if we can display who is online in the navbar (Chat [3 Online])
or simply (Chat [3])

Beta 3 seems to have killed it, it appears but shows no shouts, enter text into the message area but cannot add a shout either by pressing Enter of clicking on the arrow.

Tried upgrading then completly removing/re-installing it. Still no go.

I just upgraded my forum from beta1 > beta3 and installed the shoutbox... works fine.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

I am noticing that it seems many of the options that existed to tick and flick areas have disappeared... likely due to changes in beta3. I only found the one check box in the style properties for moods, when I remember beta1 with 1.0.3 had one for each area.

 

[ArnyVee]

We're running Beta 3 and it's still working like a charm

Did you re-check permissions?

There's only one small issue with beta 3 I've noticed where you get 'uncaught error' if you interrupt an AJAX request by loading a different page.

I'll have a fix out along with all the other promised changes soon, sadly I'm busy with other things currently.

Yep I did check all the perms. Think I'll have a night of the long knives and remove all the mods, then add them back one by one (starting with the shoutbox) to see where that takes me . I've probably done something dumb knowing me.

There's only one small issue with beta 3 I've noticed where you get 'uncaught error' if you interrupt an AJAX request by loading a different page.

Those using the shoutbox can reduce this greatly by increasing the shoutbox refresh, which means you are less likely to specifically catch an ajax request, which by default is every 5 seconds. I changed it to 15 seconds and rarely happen to catch the error now until the fix is out.

Thank you.

Found a small issue with the online session timer.

If a member doesn't browse away from the dedicated chat page, when the timer expires they are effectively shown as offline but are still posting in chat.

Presumably that is related to the fact that they are shown as "viewing unknown page"?
Ideally when clicking their member card it would state "viewing chat/in chat/chatting" and the session timer countdown would only start from the time of their last chat message and be reset with each new chat message posted.

Will there be other features in the next release as Smilies (it lacks a lot ), font, private chat etc ..?
