TaigaChat Pro - Realtime chat/shoutbox [Deleted]

I also think the submit button on sidebar blocks is unneeded. People can just hit enter on their keyboard, and it takes up space.
 
There is no point in doing this if you already have a usergroup legend. In my chat all admins are red, moderators green etc.
The point is not to tell people who the admins are - if you read it, at the top it says "shows chats prefixed with "/admin" to administrators only". It'd be a way for admins or any other usergroup to communicate on the shoutbox without everyone being able to view the chats.

My bad then.

Perhaps a better idea is to include a whisper function that allows you to whisper anyone in the chat privatly for example with "/username hi, what's up?"

That's a great idea! I'd love to see that, or something similar. :)
 
Fixed total in chat next to MOTD including invisible users, unlike the widget ‘members in chat’ total.
Isn't fixed for me. When I'm invisible, I am not counted neither in the counter next to MOTD nor in the members in chat widget. Isn't a style issue since this occurs in xenforo's default style too.

Added option to disable popup view
Awesome. But if popup view is disabled there is still the quick links dropdown to the full view. My suggestion is to remove the dropdown completly when popup view is disabled.
 
Where can we see who has been banned from the shoutbox?

Also, there needs to be a way to disable the "staff online now".

Then it's working, invisible users shouldn't be in the total count

Noted


It was a design choice to make it easier to read, in hindsight it's not very effective when mini avatars are on

Are these any special features with this chatroom for mobile phones?

No, but it should work fine on webkit based mobile browsers (tested on android), and perhaps others

It uses the user permissions feature (assigning permissions direct to a user rather than via a group) - they'll be listed on the user permissions page in the acp. Currently there's no specific banned user list or unban function besides undoing the permissions through the admin cp.

And you would need to add a conditional to sidebar_online_users (unless you want to take out the online users too, in which case just edit dark_taigachat_full)

How about an option to disable the sidebar all together? That would save on resources as well since you wouldn't have to query for active sessions, correct? I mean, I know I can go into the template and remove the sidebar... but that doesn't get rid of the excess query.

Also, XenPorta block TaigaChatOnline doesn't seem to work.

It would have to be two separate options as there's other places where members in chat can be displayed (widget framework or xenporta). The resource saving would be pretty insignificant with speed mode enabled, as it only updates members in chat when someone posts or first opens the page, and it's built from a small memory engine table (separate to standard xenforo session table).
 
Well I'm talking about just this page:
http://calibur.8wayrun.com/chat/

Every second, its doing a query to get active users. Even though its not writing to the active users list, its still querying for the list. With 30-100 users in the chatroom; doing these queries can significantly add up and bog down a server that has less headroom than they would like.

It would be incredibly easy just to add a switch to disable the fetching for not only users in the chatroom, but users on the forum as well.

This seems like a huge oversight. My forum takes almost a hundred people to moderate; so we have a lot of users listed in that User Permissions menu. Now since chat bans are included in this list, there is no easy way to determine whether a user is a MODERATOR or a BANNED USER.
 
Some issues...

It appears the XenPorta TaigaChatOnline block doesn't work if the TaigaChat block is not also on the page.

Also, if the NavBar link is disabled... the PopUp link will be nowhere to be found.

Could you please add a permission for admins and mods to see invisible users in the chat (if it wouldn't kill speed mode of course)? Admins and mods can see invisible users in the forum, so why not in the chat, too?
