[nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] Shoutbox plugin

@manuel It's because I use
nconf.get('url')to get the domain (in fact this remains from @julian).
I need any way to get the absolute path of NodeBB-root. I guess thenconf.get('url')is ment to avoid problems with sub-directories (that would appear if I use/instead).
Since I cannot see any automatic way around this for all use-cases you may just replaceemojiPath=nconf.get("url")+"/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended/images"byemojiPath="/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended/images"within your/nodebb/root/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended/index.js
you'd need to redo this every time I update the plugin until this may get supported.
Maybe a url-prefix field will occur within the ACP/emoji-extended next update
removing nconf.get("url") worked but it was config.json use_port = true
during setup and watching online documentation this effect on urls was not clear to me, sorry
-
Like @julian said it's better to set "use_port" within your nodbb-root/config.json to false, that will remove the port from the paths without destroying possibility to update plugin or installation within sub-directories (don't know if it's even fully supported by nodebb yet)

Been a while since an update... Luckily a lot has been done since, and version 0.1.0 will be released soon!
The most notable change? A new design!
This is a screenshot of the latest version running over at our forum
Some other notable changes:- User status is reflected by the green border around their avatar. This is stylable by theme creators.
- Inline editing! Instead of the annoying edit popup, editing is now done in the input box.
- Skype like editing of your last shout! Just press the up arrow to start editing your last shout!
- User settings -- you can change your Shoutbox settings in your user settings now!
- Admins can turn off features in the admincp (like archive and the gist button).
- Also the admincp, complete redesign! Screenshot can be found a few posts up.
- (Almost) completely refactored client code! It's a lot more maintainable now!
- A load of bugfixes and tweaks that enhance your experience!
- Compatible with the very latest NodeBB!
Also, if you haven't noticed yet: I now go by a different username
-
@Schamper Looks amazing! Nice work. Is this possible to be on a standalone page or modal?
This reminds me of like some sort of group chat. -
@trevor It's already on a standalone page! There's a setting in the admincp that will add a menu link for it, and clicking the title of the shoutbox panel will bring you to /shoutbox.
It's also defined as a widget, so you can place it in any widget area you have in your theme -
Awesome, love the skype-like editing feature. Wonder if that could work on the chat system as well
Also, if you haven't noticed yet: I now go by a different username
haha yeah, need the backstory there (ex. nobody wanted to hire a "MrWaffle" - well imagine my username then!)

Nothing interesting, Schamper has always been my more personal username. Was recently told that Github is fairly important in job interviews so I went ahead and changed it to a more professional username
While I was at it I changed it over at this forum and BitBangers. -
@julian said:
Yes... I firmly believe this is why nobody will ever poach @psychobunny from NodeBB.
dat username.yeah. my last job interview:
"So, do you have a GitHub account?"
"err... nope."

Here's a suggestion @schamper ; On the shout box the area should be greyed out if you're not logged in. Or should give off a friendly message indicating that you must be logged in to use the shout box.

Great plugin! Anyway, I know that this plugin isn't confirmed to be compatible with 0.4.1, but I've found a bug.
When a non logged-in user browses the forum and then returns to the page where the shoutbox is located, it will display an empty page to the user.
