TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello Darkimmortal,

Just wondering if you had given any more thought about adding a sidebar box showing who is in the chat room? Either a separate box, or maybe a template edit to add it to the Forum Stats or Members Online areas.

Thanks for your hard work!

I installed our dev forums from scratch and everything is now working as it should. However we are still having one small problem with it, it definitely isn't a biggy just a tad annoying, in that when an admin tries to delete a shout it comes up with an error that the requested page cannot be found, if we refresh and go back to the shoutbox the shout has been deleted.

We are on a shared hosting plan so I suppose it could somehow be due to that, unsure.

I have to say that this is probably our/my favourite mod brought out for XF so far, partly due to the fact it was damn near impossible to find a good basic shoutbox for VBulletin that you could put in a sidebar ... unless you wanted to pay virtually as much again as you did for the forum software. Smileys etc are nice to have, but shock, horror, our members have actually learnt how to do them without it all having to be displayed. Big props DI and when we get some extra cash will be making a donation.

Do you have rewrites turned off by any chance? If so I've already fixed that for 0.1.5 which I will be releasing later today if all goes to plan.
 
Ah drats... ok, thanks for the explanation though, now it makes sense. :)

Never the less, this is still a great app and my members use it a lot already!

Agreed.
It's very easy to edit the templates to get it looking how you want too.
For example, I've just edited it so the timestamp is under the name, leaving more horizontal space for messages.
 
0.2.0 released :)

  • Added Popup view
  • Added support for XenPorta (simply add the include code to one of its templates)
  • Users viewing the shoutbox no longer show up as viewing 'Unknown page' on the online list.
  • Users will now have their last activity date updated when posting shoutbox messages and will therefore no longer go offline while using the shoutbox.
  • Fixed 'Uncaught error'
  • Fixed redirection after editing/deleting messages with rewrites turned off.
  • The navigation tab and dropdown menu now use the XF link builder.
Decided to leave the shoutbox users widget/count to a later release, as it's quite a bit easier said than done and will result in unnecessary bloat (imo).
 
Upgraded. Thank you.

In future version, if there is a option of user online only show those who entered the shoutroom if cool. Like the ip.chatroom.
 
great job, but..

dark_taigachat_list
<span class='DateTime muted'><xen:datetime time="$message.date" /> - </span>
i think better dont show message time: extra information


Code:
<div class='taigachat_messagetext'><a {xen:if $message.user_id, 'href="{xen:link members, $message}" '}class="username" itemprop="name"><xen:if is="{$message.usernameHtml}">{xen:raw $message.usernameHtml}<xen:else />{xen:helper richUserName, $message}</xen:if></a>: {xen:raw $message.messageHtml}</div>
change <div> position: to long message does not begin with a new line


message limit... i think 1000 - so many
