@Schamper Lovely plugin! We are hoping shoutbox allows following:

• Ability to upload pics, songs, videos, from laptop/device and share in shoutbox and play as in html5?
• Support for shoutbox in latest node bb version 1.6 update and on wards ?
• A character limit on the number of characters while shouting, this will be to prevent spammers from posting very large messages.
• A feature to ignore users/ block users but this should be a global feature i guess.

you guys rock!

Can we have an ability to let the users reply to individual messages or quote indivudal messages so that chat is more meaningful in case of multiple messages?
Whatsapp and skype does this

@schamper @PitaJ lol, touché!

To my defense, I did say you can do it in JS "or" CSS

On a separate note. @Schamper really love your shoutbox plugin, any plans for updates that'll make it work with current Nodebb version?

Guys are we going to fix the compatibility of shoutbox with the latest node bb update (v1.7.3) ?

warn: [widgets.render] passing a string is deprecated!, filter:widget.render:shoutbox. Please set hookData.html in your plugin. (in ./nodebb log)

FIX (instead old app.render on 97 line '/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox/library.js')

var current_time = (new Date()).getTime();
app.render('shoutbox/panel', { html: '<div id="tablediv"></div>', time: current_time }, function(err, html){   
    widget.html = html;
    callback(err, widget);
});

@evgeniy-onegin I don't think the current_time thing is necessary. Also, you can use Date.now() instead of (new Date()).getTime() just FYI.

Also, you can do code blocks like this:

```
var currentTime = Date.now();
```

Which looks like this:

var currentTime = Date.now();

@PitaJ exactly what is needed!

Great work man!
is there a way to add multiple shoutboxes in a forum?
say one in each category page.

[arranka]

Is there any way to make this shoutbox look similar to the one in the image?
in this chat all users who are watching the shoutbox will be connected
you can send them private, you can create more rooms
you will see the same hierarchies that exist in the forum
you can see the history of the conversations in a file that you can personality for days you want to save the history

this is a shoutbox of the phpbb forum

I'm thinking of moving from phpbb to nodebb but my people are very used to the shoutbox that we have

below a picture of our chat
Can you get to do something like that? we are far?
if you need it, I can give you a test user

How to remove the "create gist" and "view archives" buttons at the button? I am running latest npm release 0.3.4 (should I use something else? strangely, I seem to remember a few years ago this was possible.)

Thank you!

This plugin is being updated to latest nodebb https://github.com/NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-shoutbox/pull/123

[baris]

The latest version of this plugin(1.0.1) is compatible with NodeBB 1.18.3.

[crazycells]

hi @Schamper , in the settings, there is "maximum number of shouts that can be returned" and it is "50" max, is there any technical reason that this can be 50? or can it be increased?

[baris]

A new version of this plugin is published(1.0.7)

• Emoji autocomplete
• Username autocomplete
• Infinite scroll to load older posts when scrolling up

Hello @baris

Since 3.2.0, I see this when shoutbox is on full mode or not, when the shoutbox is empty

Putting it back down on fix position may be better in terms of design, no ?

Moreover, there is no margin on the overlay message "The Shoutbox is empty, start shouting!"
