TaigaChat - AJAX shoutbox

[trilogy33]

Have you got the thumbnail option selected?

Yes the bottom two radio buttons here will still act to zoom the picture and break out across the screen.
Only the top button, "Link" will currently prevent that, but in doing so it will just post a link to the the picture, as the name suggests.
Image display mode

• Link: Display images as links
• Zoom: Display images with XenForo's click to expand effect
• Thumbnail Zoom: Display a thumbnail which uses XenForo's click to expand effect

This option controls how images embedded using the tag will be displayed in TaigaChat.
Is there any way to limit the width of the embedded pre-clicked image and have it open in a new window?

What do you mean by break out?

It just zooms the image to the original size as an overlay.
The same behaviour as in a post.

If you don't want this behaviour then you'll have to edit the class but I'm not sure if you can do it just for chat images, it would most likely affect all images.

Sadly it looks like it didn't make any difference.

Once the number of people increases to double figures, it really struggles.

I may need to look at an alternative solution

Okey dokey.
So I wonder how does an IRC chat system work then? Seems as if, the input window is tied somehow to the refresh.

I just find it really odd that nigh on 38 pages into this thread, things were ok and ... what's changed?
It's only been happening to me quite recently, so I'm flummoxed.

I'll have a new release out today/tomorrow which should be quite a bit more efficient.

Boing!

Ah ok, thank you

Brogan, yes I see what you mean now.
The original size is 2240x1680, it's way too big even in Full View or Pop Up mode.
So for a sidebar image when it expands, it'll bust...everything! :lol:

Well the F1 season only started Friday so this is the first time it has been used really.

Great news

Yes, there's not a lot you can do for images that large.
You can right-click and open in a new tab though.

I noticed gib's post is about 5 weeks old so I wanted to ask if there is any new info available. I am looking for a chat room solution for my site. I took a look at XenHabla and it doesn't seem to be a good solution for my site. I love how Taiga is fully integrated into XF, very user friendly, and (key importance for me) users retain their XF usernames. IRC and most of the chat solutions I have looked at don't have that integration.

Basically if there is a hope of expanding Taiga from a shoutbox into a chatroom solution then I would use it and ofc support the add-on.

This would be awesome. As I currently have taigachat only visible to my moderators and it works a charm for quick moderation chat, but now I want to offer taigachat to premium accounts and want to reserve a room only for the moderators and another for the premium account so my moderators can still use it for moderation chats!

 

[Luke F]

Rooms are in my list of stuff to do, but the next release will be largely bugfixes and optimisations only.

I am having quite a bit of getting an error message today re: an unresponsive script.

why? and how do I fix this?

+1 i am looking for same kind of solution for my project too & also would like to see this add-on with more staffs Permission like kick/ban from Shoutbox,Set the Status of the day for the SB one should be able to see it once they login at SB. Once this happens i will sure Donate

Awesome! just a question though.. you think it would be possible to have per usergroup rooms permission for it? Like in the example I stated on my post above. If I create 2 rooms and have one room to the public and another for my moderators?

At times it gets really bad on server load during busy times. Hopefully the next version helps.

Update released

0.4.2 (27/03/2011):

• Added refresh time decay (starting at 5 seconds, increases each time no messages are received up to a configurable limit).
• Messages no longer build up past the maximum displayed number, which severely degraded client-side performance.
• Smilies in the dropdown are now not loaded until needed.
• Reduced the number of AJAX requests when replying to realtime conversations.
• Fixed CSRF token expiring.
• Links in shout messages now use the same styling as forum posts.
• Fixed HTML5 breadcrumb microdata links not working
• Optimised main message list query slightly.

Thanks for the update.. was on the chat on Brogan's site this morning and oh my it was laggy when typing. Would it help to disable the avatars?

 

[Paul B]

Thanks for the update DI, I'll get that installed some time today.

Unfortunately the next race isn't for 2 weeks so I won't have a really good idea of how the changes compare.

 

[Paul Wernham]

Thankyou bud.

Just upgraded

One thing I noticed is one of my edited templates was flagged as outdated - dark_taigachat_controls.
But apart from the edit I had made, which was just to move the smiley to the start of the row, a file compare didn't show any other changes.

So I'm not entirely sure why you updated the template version.

The smilies list should have changed from plain img tags to

<li><a href='javascript:;' class='taigachat_smilie' data-src='{$smilie.1}' data-alt='{$text}' data-title='{$smilie.0}'></a></li>

Unless you meant dark_taigachat_full which I made some changes to and then deleted them.

 

[Paul B]

My old template already had that code

<li><a href='javascript:;' class='taigachat_smilie'><img src='{$smilie.1}' alt='{$text}' title='{$smilie.0}' /></a></li>

Edit: I see the difference now, interesting that Notepad++ doesn't pick it up.

Mystery solved, thanks DI
