TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

[Paul B]

Nice one DI.
Great work as usual and thanks a lot for putting in the option to select the primary route

And the mini avatars are great

Regarding smilies, several requests have been made to add smilies, bbcode, editor, etc. to chat but DI has expressed a preference not to do so.

I can understand why but it does make entering images, video, etc. much more difficult for the average user.

Just smileys is already very well.

And then the fact that DI do not want to install not prevent members from asking whether another person could be creating the addon.

DarkImmortal, congratulations on a very cool and simple (from the user POV!) Chat utility.
Question... I need to be able to have the utility write a copy of its accumulated posts every (hh:mm:ss)
to a dedicated sub-forum that only the bot (and admin) can write to, and then clear the chatbox cache to receive the next 24 hours (or n hours m minutes) of text.
Any chance of that?

 

[Paul B]

Just an FYI DI.
In dark_taigachat.css there's an erroneous "6" on the last line, last character.

.taigachat_popup .taigachat_credit { display: none }6

0.3.0 released



I decided to leave out the draggable resizing and template hooks for now, anything else is something I've forgotten.

Seems to work fine on Beta 6 as well as RC1.

Mine is displaying the 48 x48px avatars. not the 16px avatars... Any ideas?

Is dark_taigachat.css up to date? Specifically:

.taigachat_avatar img { width: 16px; height: 16px; padding: 0; vertical-align: bottom; }

Well spotted, will fix for the next version

I really don't see the point in archiving shoutbox messages


Also smilies and BBCode buttons may happen in the future, but probably not until XenForo has the code necessary to support an editor toolbar without the WYSIWYG editor. It's quite a bit of work to reimplement that.

It is now thanks.

I've encountered a bug when editing a chat message.



The message is actually updated, just the error is thrown first.

Looks like it's do with the changed route - I've changed mine to /chat.

Even changing it back to /taigachat results in the same error.
The URL in the address bar is showing as /taigachat/49/edit.
With 49 being the message number.

Must have missed that when changing everything for the new route system - fixed for the next version

Yes, I get the same thing although refreshing the page shows the edit has taken place.

Edited: already answered while posting

Thanks DI, appreciate it.

Any idea when that might be? I'm planning to go live soon

I have previously edited library/Dark/TaigaChat/EventListener/LoadClassController.php
to:
if ($class == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index' || $class == 'Dark_TaigaChat_ControllerPublic_TaigaChat' || $class == 'EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Portal' || $class == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum')

specifically
|| $class == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum'

I notice you do things a bit differently in this version, will the shout box still display on my forum view like this: http://www.fps.net.nz/community/forums/intros/

I'll wait for confirmation before I upgrade

Thanks

It loads on every page now, no need for that modification

 

[TerminalAddict]

perfect, and I have upgraded .. thanks

.

Actually my membership-based Forum requires it as all of my training chats / discussions have been archived and indexed since 1995 and this archiving needs to continue.

Too bad you're not willing to consider such a feature as an optional function.

Maybe toss some $$$ DI's way to persuade a little?

DI i disabled the fadein and it makes it seem like it loads alot faster, i had like 10 people in the shoutbox and the fade in was just going crazy but it loads very good

 

[Paul B]

What did you edit exactly to change that?
Presumably some .js somewhere?

In that case I might remove the fade, or make it an admin option defaulted to off. Or perhaps no more than one fade every 20 seconds or something along those lines.
