erictfbat If you have time, those all sound like great additions! πŸ˜ƒ

I think that ideally, most of these would be opt-in via settings in the admin panel.

The Whisper extension, which this extension is mostly based off of, had a bunch of code where if a forum had Push enabled, the message count, new messages, etc. would automatically update without needing to reload the page. When I updated this extension to work with the latest version of Flarum, I pretty much commented out but left in all of the Push-related code.

Kyrne (the author of Whisper) had another extension that replaced the default paid Push extension with a websockets-based one, so I think that originally, if someone wanted the messages to update without reloading, the path was to install Kyrne's websockets-based Push replacement extension, and then this extension would automatically interface with it. If you want to add code so that things update in the background, I suppose one way to go about it might be to uncomment and fix the Push-related code and also fix Kyrne's old websocket-based Push replacement. But that's a lot of work, and polling might work just as well! ^_^

Anyway, thanks again for the offer to help! If you have time, I'm sure people would appreciate these updates/bug-fixes πŸ™‚

And glad that you and the people on your forum find this helpful! ^_^

    neoncube After submitting an error report earlier and seeing that it was still broken. But when I saw your reply, it suddenly started working. You are my savior.

      Very minor nitpick: the "Discuss" link for this extension doesn't point to this discussion, but just gives a polite 404. Easy fix?

        Are you planning to update this extension?

        • Unable to delete messages (one-way or two-way)
        • Unable to delete conversations (one-way or two-way)
        • Mobile compatibility (e.g. whatsapp or telegram)

        Hi everyone! I had some time to work on this extension today and have released a version 1.4.0.

        Bug fixes

        • Messages sometimes would show up twice. Thank you very much to Pathologic for fixing this via neoncube2/flarum-private-messages10 ! πŸ™‚
        • On mobile, clicking the "Conversations" menu item should now open a new page, instead of showing a somewhat-broken overlay. I think this means that everything should now be working on mobile. If not, please let me know!
        • Read receipt indicators should now be shown next to messages, instead of overlapping with them.

        Changes

        • The color of the text in messages is now @secondary-color instead of @control-bg, which I hope will show up better.

        New features

        It's now possible for users to receive an email notification when they receive a new message! πŸ™‚

        To get started, open your site's Administration page, go to Private Messages, and change the Allow users to receive email notifications when they receive a private message setting:

        If you change this setting to "Members", then everyone in your forum will immediately start receiving email notifications when they receive a new private message. They can disable this by opening their account settings page and changing the Someone messages me setting:

        If you notice any new issues, please let me know, and thanks! πŸ™‚

        @Capybara This should fix the issues where the checkbox sometimes overlapped the message πŸ™‚

        In this release, I changed the color of the text for messages that you send. I'm a bit afraid that this may break some websites. If you install the new version, can you let me know if the colors still look okay?

        (I'm afraid I haven't yet had a chance to add an option to change the color of the gray messages)

        nhok3296 Cool, thank you! πŸ™‚ I've just added the Vietnamese translations, although they haven't been released yet.

        By the way, I added a new piece of text in the latest version: message_read: Message has been read

          OneHarryPotter I registered an account at www.vfxskill.com and tried sending a message to you (ηŽ‹εΉι£Ž) and to ChatGPT. In both cases, sending the message failed and I got an error, but the error text is blank, so it's difficult for me to see what's wrong :/

          I can think of a couple of things to try:

          • Does anything show up in your error log, now?
          • If you don't see anything in your error log, can you open config.php and set debug to true, so that I can see error messages?

          Thanks, and sorry for the late reply, again.

            erictfbat Ah, indeed, I'd forgotten to change that link! XD Thanks! πŸ™‚ This is now fixed but hasn't yet been released.

              Mirzaagha At the moment, you'd need to write some custom CSS. The extension doesn't yet have a setting for this.
