FriendsOfFlarum Byōbu, well integrated, advanced private discussions

NorioDS

It seems like I can't create a discussion with my moderator because his username is only 2 characters long.

I couldn't find this reported on GitHub so I added it here.

NorioDS his username is only 2 characters long

Flarum in general doesn't really have support for usernames shorter than 3 characters. I'm not sure filing an issue with Byobu will do you much good, even if we add that you'll have limitations in Flarum.

luceos Okie dokes, thanks. This is maybe another issue unique to me because of importing from SMF.

0.4.2

Fixes incompatibility with MySQL 8

Updating

FriendsOfFlarum Create discussions only specific users or groups can participate in.

I see the option to allow only specific users to see the post, but how can I allow specific groups to see the post?

Littlegolden

danielunited Just search the user group name and choose the group.

danielunited

Littlegolden I see. Seems like the extension doesn't support group names in Hebrew.

Littlegolden

danielunited I think you can use Hebrew in the first line of the Name option in the user group settings , and use English in the second line.

The first line will only appear in the badge on the avatar.
The content of the second line will not be seen by the user, and the second line can be retrieved.

danielunited

Littlegolden That not a good solution, because it means that if my community is in Hebrew, users need to enter an English name there. Supporting non-Latin languages would be a better solution.

Littlegolden

danielunited You can check this "How to Improve Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Search", MySQL should support most of languages in the world. Maybe this article can give you ideas.

danielunited

Littlegolden Oh cool, thanks!

Littlegolden

danielunited Good news, I just tested, the solution in the article I send you, can search not only Chinese, Korean, Japanese, but also All languages in the world!

Littlegolden

danielunited Sorry, it seems that the function of searching user groups is not related to the keyword search function. 🤣

danielunited

Littlegolden Right, I now changed the Forum language to Hebrew and it works okay.

I really like the recent additions. Keeping private discussions as simple as possible, that's my aim. People are used to the traditional ways of writing private messages, which used to be at one clear designated place and only there, so forcing a certain tag (e.g. Mailbox) is great.

I would like to go further and have the option to restrict private discussions to two recipients, the one who initiates a private discussion and the one who shall receive the message. The former is myself, the latter is selected by starting the private discussion via the user's profile page. This way we wouldn't even need a dialog to specify recipients. And instead of showing "2 Recipients" we could simply show the adressee's name, as we don't need to be informed about our own name (exception: if we are participating as a member of a group).

IanM Great update, solved lots of trouble but is there a way to hide that specific tag which is being used for private discussions (for example: I have it like "Private Inbox")
Now the problem is, users are still able to go to Private Inbox tag and Create Discussion there which is a simple discussion but not a Private message.

Littlegolden

HD3D But wasn't the positioning of byobu a private discussion tool from the beginning?

HD3D

Littlegolden I'm trying to understand what you mean buddy,
I created Private Inbox tag when I installed byobu, After Update 0.4.3 it solved the issue of choosing "Private Inbox" tag every time but what I mean is, Users can still go directly to the Private Inbox tag and create a normal discussion there, which I want to use only for Private Discussions not for normal discussions.

Well, I know I can use private discussions without a tag but for this I will have to remove settings of minimum 1 tag selection which I don't want.

Now what exactly is happening is, some users create new discussion in Private Inbox tag considering they're start a PD but it is actually exposed to everyone.

Littlegolden

I hope that the function of private discussions will be maintained, but the function of private message can have another extension or be integrated in this extension. In short, private discussions and private message do not conflict, and both are needed.

Littlegolden

HD3D I see~ The issue you said is do important.
