CodingJungle Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 Since I am a developer, I've been thinking of adding in a interface for like bitbucket webhooks, to send notifications inside the chat for push's/commits/pulls/etc, any one using babble/babblet as a discussion platform for development?
GrooveOnBeat Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Your chat app looks slick. 1) Is there an option for a popup window? 2) Does the sound have volume options to increase/decrease the sounds?
CodingJungle Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 1. yes, it has a "pop out" option. 2. the sounds can be enable or disabled, the browsers volume determines their softness/loudness.
Zen Geek Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Will using node.js conflict with Jquery or AJAX that's currently being used on the site? Is the chat on every page (global), or is it on a dedicated page? Can you restrict users depending on what IPS group they are in? Can keep out guests? Can you have a room for a specific group?> Being JS based, is it possible that users can change their names and other permission locally (bypassing admin enforced settings)? Is there any history kept? Where's it kept, locally with users or server? When a new users enters the Babble chat, how for back can they read?

It is an application, so it has its own page. but it comes with a widget so you can place it on any page you'd like. 3 minutes ago, Zen Geek said: Can you restrict users depending on what IPS group they are in? Can keep out guests? yes, you can restrict to who has access to it by group, and also by content count. 4 minutes ago, Zen Geek said: Being JS based, is it possible that users can change their names and other permission locally (bypassing admin enforced settings)? no, whatever their user name is for the site, will appear as who it is sent by. The only exception is guest messages (if its enabled), their name will be generated for them. 6 minutes ago, Zen Geek said: Is there any history kept? Where's it kept, locally with users or server? there is an archive feature. it is stored in the database under babble_messages. 9 minutes ago, Zen Geek said: When a new users enters the Babble chat, how for back can they read? you set how many messages it loads in the room settings, if they have the archive permission, they can go all the way back to the beginning if they chose, there isn't a limit on how far they can go back.
Zen Geek Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Thank you codingjungle. This looks like a great choice over the alternatives.

Thanks for replying! While volume control is nice to have, the pop out is a winner! Purchased!
Zen Geek Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Can you change the CSS / Theme style easily? I'm not finding it. Specifically the white (whitish) background:
CodingJungle Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 most of the styling is pulled from the theme, the specific style stuff, is located in: ACP->customization->theme->babble->front->babble.css and desktoponly.css (but that is for the scroll bars)
JoshB84 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Will there be an option to keep save text configurations? Like if a user always wants his text to show as bold text with a color of orange. To help out if you have many users in chat. Is there a way to let you know someone is directly talking to you in chat by using your username. Like maybe a notification sound and a bolding of the text or color change in the text to let you know they are replying to you. Example for question 2: JoshB84 enters chatroom. JoshB84: Hi everyone Tom1: It really is sunny out today. Tom1: Hi JoshB84 Susan: Yes it really was a nice day out today. Susan: Oh Hi JoshB84! Welcome to the chatroom. *So each time if a message was directed at me specifically. I would get a color change and bold with maybe a notification sound*
CodingJungle Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 Qestion 1: no there isn't. Question 2: if you do a mention, like @user, the message will get a slight font weight and a colored background (all css) for the user it is intended for.
JoshB84 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Thank you for the fast reply. I left you one message on your website in your bug tracker.
CodingJungle Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 I replied to it. babble is mutli-room, the widget can use one of the rooms you create or a "widget room" that only the widget can access. that is the configuration babble on my site currently has, so messages made in any of the rooms wont show up on the front page widget :).
JoshB84 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Ok thanks alot! The application has been purchased!
Il_Picasso Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 This seems really interesting, too bad the price is too high for me, I hope there is something like a disccount soon ^^

fantasyteamadvice Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Hi @CodingJungle are you able to provide custom modifications? This chat is exactly what we are looking for as IP.Chat will be retired, however we have an interesting setup we are looking to do on our site. Since we have a large amount of users in chat at one time, we would essentially like to have an admin / moderator side, and a members side, so the admin / moderator responses stay up longer. Not sure how feasible this would be, or if you would be able to provide it. Please let us know!
