Shoutbox for latest nodebb

NikolaiPatrushev

Okay, maybe its old, but i would like to know if there any working shoutbox for current version of nodebb?

<baris>

This one works, https://github.com/NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox npm i @nodebb/[email protected]

yep it working @NikolaiPatrushev but it just lacks small features like in this topic for it to be publicly usable.

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16965/nodebb-shoutbox-plugin-how-to-add-mention-completion-and-emoji-completion-in-the-plugin/8

I also modified it to change the /help command which is too easy to find because all users have access to it by default (no rights) and this can quickly cause problems, especially for sound commands.

I also managed to add custom commands (voice and text)

@DownPW Well for me it didnt work sorry, but somehow in Tor network its not working.

DownPW

Shoutbox working very well here

NikolaiPatrushev

@DownPW But did you tested it in Tor ? I have installed the latest version from the NodeBB admin control panel , and then later added it as a widget to my forum.
The message window was displayed , but i wasnt able to send any message, java script was activated for the whole session.
I run my NodeBB forum in tor network cant be that the reason?

DownPW

Maybe. I dont use this plugin with TOR

@DownPW Can you write tor version of shoutbox, in theory it can work if you just need to have a outside messaging server which would have all data about users, in such scenario the assumption will be that users must register there.
Users will go to registration page and then widget when its loaded would have like sign in page.

Finally i have found an ultimate solution for running a chat in TOR , it wasn't easy, a lot of setup work:
Like set up own IRC server and then the web server and all other stuff to make it operate in sync and without any issues.
Everything encrypted with full support of CORS, even i was pushed to create selfsigned SSL certificates.
Like really who would guess that creating own chat would be so much work , but i did it and now i am happy .
Most importantly everything is running on opensource solutions and that really cool.

So basically all my issues resolved.

DownPW

What IRC you use? Inspi?

@DownPW Yeap, but there a lot more then simply to put an IRC, i spent like whole day to figure everything out, neither i recommend to go my route, because you basically need to setup servers and this means a lot of maintenance work in future.
