How will this work if we're using a 3rd party theme?

looks to be prosilver based and it might need some css tweaks. the only styles i add to the extension and work on are the ones that have been released by phpbb. way too many unofficial styles floating around to support them all

Hi, I had problems with showing DELETE button, and I have found out, that you are using this code to display it:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_MCP or U_ACP -->

I'm not sure, but for certain groups (board moderators for example) this button did not show up.

So my question is, wouldn't it be better to use code like this, since we have such option in ACP?

Code: Select all

<!-- IF M_AJAXCHAT_DELETE -->

Thank you for consideration.

Edit: Someone else probably facing similar issue: viewtopic.php?f=71&t=1204095.

thank you but this has already been addressed. in the next release, there is a new moderator role. board admins by default have permissions to delete but moderators have to have the role assigned or they can't delete messages

I understand there are some things I might lose out on using a non phpbb released theme. We wanted a different look to our website. All the phpbb themes look pretty much as they always have.

depending on the complexity of the style, it could be very minor changes to get things looking right. it could even drop right in as long as the template events are in place

Hi spaceace, another compatiblity note (prosilver):
Inside file chat_font_colour_hold.html there is a div with ID="colour_palette". This div is styled in your ajax_chat.css file. However, its ID conflicts with the id in prosilver's template posting_buttons.html and therefore causes unwanted change to "posting" page (centering + bottom padding of color palette).

My suggestion is to change ID in your HTML, CSS and JS files to something else, for example "chat_colour_palette". Thank you for consideration.

thank you for pointing that out. it will be fixed in the next release

Is it possible that an option could be implemented to allow guests the opportunity to post in the chat as well? On most sites, guests prefer to interact with the members first before committing to a registration.

no. guest posting in chat is not something i would want to add. sorry

Hello spaceace, just a brief thought - wouldn't it be nice, if the user can set in UCP to be informed about new chat messages via the notifications panel? Thanks .

just viewing the index page will do the same thing. i don't think a notification would be necessary and would just add bloat

You're definitely right, but this goes for the boards with "show chat on index" option set to YES. Nevermind, I'll try it myself and share the final code here, if someone else would be interested.
