Hi Devs,

Had some time to play around with nodebb-plugin-global-chat, great plugin!

Allow me to recommend two minor changes, as follows:

1. In the client script, the reference to elem should be:

var elem = $(e.target).parent();

2. Displaying all users on the chat header takes a lot of space. How about displaying just the group name? See below css only change:

$('head').append(
			'<style type="text/css">' +
			'[data-roomid="' + roomId + '"] [component="chat/header"] span.members' +
			'{   visibility: hidden;' +
			'    font-size: 0;' +
			'}' +
			'[data-roomid="' + roomId + '"] [component="chat/header"] span.members:after ' +
			'{   content: "Global Chat"; ' +
			'    font-size: 14px;' +
			'    visibility: visible;' +
			'    display: block;' +
			'    position: absolute;' +
			'    margin-top: -20px;' +
			'}</style>');

Two questions if I may:

1. Is there an api to change the group chat slug? for example post a picture?
2. After uninstall, the global-chat group was not deleted. This was previously discussed here: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-global-chat/issues/1. Per said thread on mongo one may do the following:

db.getCollection('objects').remove({_key: /chat:room:387:mids$/}) 
db.getCollection('objects').remove({_key: /chat:rooms:unread$/, value: "387"}); 
db.getCollection('objects').remove({_key: "chat:room:387:uids"}); 
db.getCollection('objects').remove({_key: /chat:rooms$/, value: "387"});

Can you please point me in the right direction on how to write a similar code for the global-chat plugin?

Thank you!
JJ.

happy to see you are working on this plugin, it is indeed a great plugin.

As for (2):

I can get all uids from the room, and then issue:

Messaging.leaveRoom(uids, roomId, callback).

Would that be an acceptable solution? if the last user is removed from the room, would the room be automatically erased - so that the database won't be messed up?

Thank you!
JJ.

In the client script, the reference to elem should be

It should probably be currentTarget instead of target, though I didn't ever see an issue with how it was.

Thanks, I've fixed it with this CSS, inspired by yours:

[data-roomid="${roomId}"] [component="chat/header"] .members {
  display: none;
}
[data-roomid="${roomId}"] [component="chat/header"]::before {
  content: "Chat with everyone";
  font-weight: 500;
}

Changes:

• "Chat with everyone" instead of a list of every user
• Ability to delete the chatroom

Thank you @PitaJ ,
IMHO, in init, get should be replaced with getObject, as in the below.
Other than that, the plugin is perfect
JJ.

waterfall([
    next => get(roomKey, next),
    (roomIdVal, next) => {
      oldRoomId = roomIdVal;
      //get(`chat:room:${roomIdVal}`, next);
      getObject(`chat:room:${roomIdVal}`, next);   
    },

@JJSagan yeah you're right. It might actually be broken on redis. Should probably be getObjectField actually.

Changes:

• Use the correct DB method (should work correctly on redis now)

Thanks @JJSagan

Hi @all

I still have the problem of the user display bug if there are too many members despite the plugin update.

ISSUE HERE: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-global-chat/issues/6

I have hidden the list of users with the CSS code ACP:

.chats-full [component="chat/header"] .members {
        display: none;
    }

 .chats-full [component="chat/header"]::before {
        content: "-- Tchatter avec tout les membres --";
        font-weight: 500;
    }

The problem is that this code hides users for all discussions and not just the Global Chat
How to do this ? Or declare ROOMID on CSS/ACP

Another question:

How to rename the name of the salon?

thanks for considering my comments.
