Shoutbox Add-On Request
-
Can have this add-on where you can color the background only for admins and forums mods that chat in the shoutbox so players know they are getting real infomation and updates or make the shoutbox similar to this and it'll be even better
-
You can already do this with custom CSS on your forum. All the admin messages have a
.adminclass. -
but how do I add the shoutbox
-
Ok, I tried that, so first install it:
npm install nodebb-plugin-shoutbox
Restart nodebb. Active the shout plugin in Extend -> Plugins -> 'Activate' button.But then, I still can't find the shoutbox in the available widgets list :? ?
EDIT: Restart nodebb after activation. Then you also should have a menu item, admin -> plugins -> Shoutbox. Thanks!
-
@Melroy-van-den-Berg I believe you have to restart NodeBB after activating the plugin.
-
Yea exactly, that fixed the problem. Weird! I didn't expected that.
-
@Melroy-van-den-Berg You would have done that if you installed the plugin using ACP instead of doing it manually. ACP prompts you to reload after you activate the plugin.
-
@pichalite Ah, via admin/extend/plugins#download ?
-
The plugins you downloaded appear in your installed plugin list. You can activate them from there and will be prompted to reload NodeBB
-
@pichalite
unfortunately shoutbox didn't show up in acp->plugins->install plugin->download
Well manual installation is not that complicated
-
@wellenreiter that's probably because the compatibility in the plugin is not set to v0.9.1
-
@pichalite but it is
"compatibility": "^0.9.0"
