[nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] Shoutbox plugin

@faisal-zahid you can just do that in custom CSS, no need to jQuery here:

#shoutbox-main {
  padding-top: 20px;
}

@schamper @PitaJ lol, touché!

To my defense, I did say you can do it in JS "or" CSS

On a separate note. @Schamper really love your shoutbox plugin, any plans for updates that'll make it work with current Nodebb version?

@faisal-zahid What's broken in current versions?

[fais3000]

@schamper After the update to 1.5.3, shoutbox widget on custom pages, homepage or its own dedicated route doesn't render. No errors in the log as well. I described it here

Upgrade from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3 breaks shoubox plugin

Nothing different in logs. It just dosent render the shout box widget anywhere. Reverting back to 1.5.2 gets things back to normal. Console shows this warnin...

@faisal-zahid Would you mind creating an issue for it on Github?

@Schamper Lovely plugin! We are hoping shoutbox allows following:

• Ability to upload pics, songs, videos, from laptop/device and share in shoutbox and play as in html5?
• Support for shoutbox in latest node bb version 1.6 update and on wards ?
• A character limit on the number of characters while shouting, this will be to prevent spammers from posting very large messages.
• A feature to ignore users/ block users but this should be a global feature i guess.

you guys rock!

Can we have an ability to let the users reply to individual messages or quote indivudal messages so that chat is more meaningful in case of multiple messages?
Whatsapp and skype does this

warn: [widgets.render] passing a string is deprecated!, filter:widget.render:shoutbox. Please set hookData.html in your plugin. (in ./nodebb log)

FIX (instead old app.render on 97 line '/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox/library.js')

var current_time = (new Date()).getTime();
app.render('shoutbox/panel', { html: '<div id="tablediv"></div>', time: current_time }, function(err, html){   
    widget.html = html;
    callback(err, widget);
});

@evgeniy-onegin I don't think the current_time thing is necessary. Also, you can use Date.now() instead of (new Date()).getTime() just FYI.

Also, you can do code blocks like this:

```
var currentTime = Date.now();
```

Which looks like this:

var currentTime = Date.now();

@PitaJ exactly what is needed!

Great work man!
is there a way to add multiple shoutboxes in a forum?
say one in each category page.

[arranka]

Is there any way to make this shoutbox look similar to the one in the image?
in this chat all users who are watching the shoutbox will be connected
you can send them private, you can create more rooms
you will see the same hierarchies that exist in the forum
you can see the history of the conversations in a file that you can personality for days you want to save the history

this is a shoutbox of the phpbb forum

I'm thinking of moving from phpbb to nodebb but my people are very used to the shoutbox that we have

below a picture of our chat
Can you get to do something like that? we are far?
if you need it, I can give you a test user

How to remove the "create gist" and "view archives" buttons at the button? I am running latest npm release 0.3.4 (should I use something else? strangely, I seem to remember a few years ago this was possible.)

Thank you!
