@hearsedriver Glad you figured it out 😄
[nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] Shoutbox plugin
-
@pwFoo Auto complete has already been implemented in the latest version, it just hasn't been fully tested/prepared for 0.5.0 yet
I thought about notifications for a bit but it would be too annoying, since mentions in a shoutbox would happen way more frequently than in a post.About your second thing, do you mean in the tab/title bar? It should already do that (something like
username has shouted), but I also noticed it's a bit of a hit and miss, though I can't really do anything about that, since I'm using a built in NodeBB function to do that. (I love you core devs ;)) -
Hi @Schamper
With my NodeBB test forum (0.5) there is no visual notification about mentioned in the shoutbox or a new shout... Tested with Chrome and Firefox. Also mention autocomplete seems not work.Maybe you're right... notification about mentioned in shoutbox could be annoying.
But would be a great option to get a notification about it, because it's not a global shout. User was mentioned and maybe missing it.If you don't want a notification (maybe also pushed by Pushbullet...) a counter about new shouts and/ or counter how often mentioned at shoutbox. Without attracting attention new shouts/ mentions could be missed.
-
Also noticed that embedding images doesn't set them to 100% width. Had to add max-width to the shout box. Could be worth setting in the plug in css
-
So as I understand it, you can't have this function on anything but one page?
-
@Tanner At the moment this is a widget, so you can put it anywhere you can put a widget. It also has its own /shoutbox page that just a shoutbox.
I'm not sure what your question meant but i hope this helped
-
I mean if I place it as a widget, say on the global footer, it'll only work on the homepage and not any other page, yes?
-
@Tanner Global footer is global so it will be on every page.
If you want it on the homepage footer only, you will need to place it in the homepage footer widget area. -
@Scuzz I'm quite aware of that. When I place it in the global footer, it does not function on any page but the homepage, as in it will only work on the homepage and not on any other page. I said that already but I don't think I can be more clear lol
-
@Tanner I'll try for you.
- Homepage - Work.
- Other Pages - No Work.
I think that's what you meant anyway.
Two seconds I'll check on mine, -
@a_5mith Yesh quite accurate :3
-
@Tanner Can confirm the diagnosis above. Only works on the homepage. (Or possibly whichever page is cold loaded, try cold loading category, then going to homepage, then back to category again) Either way, after ajaxify, chat is empty. Send button doesn't work.
-
Thanks for confirming for me, will let @schamper know and change on my site accordingly.
-
I had it on the Global header before and it work fine on every page.
Edit
@Tanner @a_5mith My bad, i didnt quite understand what you were asking. It seems that it wont work in other widget areas.I thought we had it working but that might be because we were using the latest github version and not the npm version.
-
-
@a_5mith are you on the latest rc of NodeBB? You could beta test the new version of the shoutbox that is available on github?
Im sure i had it working in the header when using that version. -
I've been using the NPM version if that makes any difference.
-
@Scuzz Aye, running 0.5.0-2. Will give the version on your github a try and report back.
Edit: Yeah that fixes it.
Edit: Edit: Settings don't save automatically. They say they save. Refreshing brings back the old settings.
-
@Schamper Any update about a possible timestamp on messages ?
I've been asked this a lot by members of my forums ^^
-
@ffmad The latest github version has a "x minutes ago". I did ask @Schamper about an actual time stamp but he didnt want to implement it for some reason.
If we bug him enough he may add it
