[nodebb-plugin-shoutbox] Shoutbox plugin

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?

Scuzz

@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

Tanner

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?

Scuzz

@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.

Tanner

@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

a_5mith

@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,

Tanner

@a_5mith Yesh quite accurate :3

a_5mith

@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.

Tanner

Thanks for confirming for me, will let @schamper know and change on my site accordingly.

Scuzz

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

@Scuzz -I've already uploaded them. But here. Shoutbox in Global Header.

Scuzz

@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.

Tanner

I've been using the NPM version if that makes any difference.

a_5mith

@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 ^^

Scuzz

@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

I can't disable gist function in new version. It just said saved but when I comback the gist still be ticked.

Schamper

Since a lot of people keep asking me to publish the new shoutbox to npm, I just published it under a beta tag.

If I should trust the npm docs, you can install it using:
npm install nodebb-plugin-shoutbox@beta

This is far from completed from what I have in mind, hence the beta tag. Note that some things might not work properly, not being able to disable features is one.
