Private messaging

Eldenroot

There is an extension for PM from @luceos - https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4762-flagrow-by-bu-well-integrated-advanced-private-discussions

PranavJadhav

Eldenroot but having seperate page for managing private chats Like this one would be great, even byobu is great though

luceos

PranavJadhav you can easily assign a custom page for Byobu to the private discussions using the sijad/links extension with this endpoint (modify with your forum address): https://discuss.flarum.org/?q=is%3Aprivate just type in your search bar is:private7

Eldenroot

Anyway have two similar extensions is fine... because there is a way that one of them will be a premium extension in future, am I right? ?

luceos

Eldenroot all Flagrow extensions that are currently free are very, very unlikely to become premium in the future. No worries ?

@Eldenroot Flagrow created their own twist on "private" discussions. What @Shahiem is trying to develop is no way similar to what flagrow/byobu provides as far as concept other than privacy. He is developing what is considered the "classic" forum approach to private messaging (PM's). This concept pars fairly with bulletin board software such as Vbulletin, XenForo, PHPbb, etc.

I use Byobu for private on-board discussions and because it has it's own crazy twist that I like over the classic way (i.e. host meetings, off-chat discussions, private fanclubs, etc).

What I will use @Shahiem's extension is to provide my community with "Private Messaging" through an inbox-styled interface.

Private Discussion = / = Private Messaging System.

luceos

@Ralkage even so they have a common ground and truth be told that's perfectly fine.

We're not here to compete, we're here to offer the community kick ass extensions. @Shahiem is doing a great job from what I've seen and seems to enjoy himself. I'm also looking very much forward to this extension.

luceos As am I ? ReFlar had planned to develop this as an extension, but we weren't sure how to execute it properly. Loving these new extensions!!

Shahiem Is there going to be a github repo available soon so we can test it out?

Frink

Shahiem Cool! I am going to test this out for sure! Maybe tweak it myself, and make a PR

PranavJadhav

Shahiem how can i test it out please give the composer code to install it

Frink

PranavJadhav It is in the git repo itself. Use composer require treefiction/privateMessage

PranavJadhav

Frink composer require treefiction/privateMessage

tried, no chance , is any special permission required? getting these

Frink no, packages not posted to packagist will not work with composer require.

Ralkage

PranavJadhav you can pull it in locally with the workbench method if you are eager to test the POF.

See this wonderfully crafted guide by @luceos: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1608-extension-development-using-composer-repositories-path

Frink

jordanjay29 no, packages not posted to packagist will not work with composer require.

Strange. It said above when I looked at it that it was posted to packagist.... maybe you need to use the --dev tag?

Blueh

Shahiem that looks amazing -

PranavJadhav

Frink i did with manual installation, its working but currently have no functionality

Frink

PranavJadhav Yes, I believe, as @Shahiem said, it is still a major WIP

Shahiem that´s amazing but remember to add some spam control in PM and a way for admins or moderators to control those annoying spammers!!!
