WIP Extension Realtime chat with Pusher

Xelson

Geraldlzc you mean, does the moved chat frame overlap the forum pages? It's possible even in default position and i didn't find any solution for this except minimizing

Xelson How to publish information without logging in?

Good news: moving to beta14 with mithril 2 significantly increased chat performance and made me to rewrite the entire front-end in a new better way. The update should be released before November 13.

Wadera

I've been able to test last dev release. It's so great! Like small Slack build in into Flarum! I'm loving it!

That's my support:

I've play little bit with your new version (so far only on my Beta 14 dev, test forum) and there is bunch of ideas for improvements:

Ability to edit and remove channels (edit colours, names...)
Option to set channel owners / moderators on potential edit channel view will be great!
I would split channels and private discussion. Let's say some tab or just divider with channels on top and chats below?
Ability to set order of public channels list (Example: I have "Main", "Support", "Chitchat" and then I want to add "Mod chat" between "Main" and "Support" - right now all new channels land on the end)
Indication about unread messages on channel view / private discussion view(bold channel name or something)?
Sort private channels (so private discussion with most frequent messages will appear on top)
Email notifications (users are able to set some email notification settings like: being mentioned, new private discussion starts etc)

I know - It's a lot... but - It's just bunch of ideas and wishes 😉

Who know? Maybe some day you will make it into premium extension (like let's say some basic features for free and then e-mail notifications / moderators options in paid one)? This extension have now huge potential!

You are amazing!

Here is more ideas and suggestions from me:

Separate, additional - full screen view (with currently online users):
Currently floating window is great on PC (but not ideal for mobile). Anyway - separate, full screen view will be great!

Wadera it seems as though you are running on Beta 14 somehow? Any chance you could give an idea of what your setup is?

Wadera

Bugs which I've found in last version:

I`ve got problem with scrolling when new messages comes (I need to scroll manually to see new ones).
when type longer message (more than 3 lines) - textfield going under the screen, so I can't see what I'm typing.

Great improvements (Thank you!)

chat on mobile is finally stick to footer instead of beeing hide on left menu
scrolling up to see more messages works fine on mobile (previously it didn't load older messages)

Oportunity to improve:

get full screen chat will be great UX improvement - expecially on mobile. . I've described here: Wadera
integrate with upload extension
get options to get e-mail notifications when someone open new private chat / mention me on main channel
reacts to messages
be able to get link to specific message would be great
respond to messages
search engine
hide chat (like chat between peoples or group of peoples - not channels) after leaving. Right now it's still on the list and showing notifications about new messages after leaving which is annoying.

Wadera

That's all what I've found so far

Per: Wadera

Great improvements (Thank you!)

hide chat (like chat between peoples or group of peoples - not channels) after leaving. Right now it's still on the list and showing notifications about new messages after leaving which is annoying.

Oportunity to improve:

notification about new messages when chat is minimised (on chat bar? Separate notification icon)
notification about new messages on separate channel on mobile full screen mode (top bar?)
integrate with upload extension
get options to get e-mail notifications when someone open new private chat / mention me on main channel
reacts to messages
be able to get link to specific message would be great
respond to messages
search engine
night mode support

Wadera

by the way - could we somehow edit main message on top to get current descriptions, screenshots and installation information? 🙂 Or maybe we should make separate discussion?

Xelson

Wadera Yes, I've been thinking about it.
The update is already moving to release and is currently in beta, so we should create a separate discussion only after the extension is released.
Anyway, the extension went into public testing and now the new update for beta14 can be tested right now by upgrading it to the dev-master branch! https://github.com/Xelson/flarum-ext-chat ☁️

Installation

Via composer for development build:

composer require xelson/flarum-ext-chat:dev-master

Updating

Also via composer for development build:

composer require xelson/flarum-ext-chat:dev-master
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Since I will be absent for quite a long time, @askvortsov agreed to support the extension. Many thanks to him for agreeing to help in my difficult situation!

Wadera

Littlegolden @Xelson Can you enable the Issue feature in GitHub ?

It ill be quite difficult to achive regarding to:

askvortsov

Hi everyone, quick update. I'm currently working through some refactorings / bugfixes, and plan to update this for the upcoming beta 15 release, at which point it will be formally released.

askvortsov

As I mentioned, compatibility will be for the upcoming beta 15. I'll release a beta version for testing with beta 14 tomorrow.

theportablegeek

askvortsov Sorry to bother you, I know you are busy, but I am wondering if I should still be running into errors when attempting to test out the dev-master on a fresh instance of beta 14.1?

askvortsov

Yeah, I still haven't gotten around to releasing a beta 14 version. Since beta 15 shiuld be coming out soon, I'll probably go straight to that.

theportablegeek

askvortsov absolutely understand. Thanks for your amazing work!

Wadera

Hi,

I've just check last "master" version and it isn't working on my forum as well, so I've restore backup made just before update attempt 😉

I'm guessing that master code is already written with Beta 15 in mind, so it may not working properly with Beta 14.

If you tested previous dev version and have some mess in DB - that's some steps to get them cleared (but make a backup, as this can broke some stuff!!!)

1. Remove extension:

Disable extension in admin panel, then:

composer remove xelson/flarum-ext-chat
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

2. Clear DB:

MySQL query (you can run in on on phpmyadmin or over ssh)

DELETE FROM migrations WHERE extension="xelson-chat";
DROP TABLE neonchat_chats;
DROP TABLE neonchat_chat_user;
DROP TABLE neonchat_messages;

3. Install it from scratch:

composer require xelson/flarum-ext-chat:dev-master
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

4. Enjoy!

You should be able to turn on extension on Admin panel (it will take a while at first time, as it will make a migrate, create all required tables etc). Then set permissions in admin panel, rename your chat names and enjoy!

theportablegeek

Wadera That was amazing! Worked like a charm with using dev:master#[commit]

Wadera

php flarum info
And did you do migrate after update?

If it's kind of fresh install and you don't bother about losing your messages - you can always try to drop tables: Wadera

Wadera

Check what's on your migration table:

SELECT FROM migrations WHERE extension="xelson-chat";

If there is information that migrate already add table - script wont try to generate it once again (even if it's missing).

Please Make a backup of your database first, and then you can try to play with selective removing entries from migration tables and try to force script to recreate missing tables by running php flarum migrate.

Or simple remove all reltated tables and entries from migrate table and then install it from scratch, but this will cause loose of all history chats and messages.

Wadera

2. Clear DB:

MySQL query (you can run in on on phpmyadmin or over ssh)

DELETE FROM migrations WHERE extension="xelson-chat";
DROP TABLE neonchat_chats;
DROP TABLE neonchat_chat_user;
DROP TABLE neonchat_messages;

neonchat_chat_user.role structure should looks like:

askvortsov

I've tagged a new, beta 15 compatible version, it should be installable via:

xelson/flarum-ext-chat:v1.0.0-beta.1

Notad

askvortsov I test it, but it show error then enable plugin

Wadera

It's working fine on my forum 15.
