Support Topic for the app Live Messenger

    

Live Messenger for Invision Community. This app is not an alternative to the standard IPS Messenger, but a handy add-on. Live Messenger was created to relieve communication with other users. Loading and sending new messages is happens without reloading the pages. The main advantage of this application is that you can quickly write or read a personal message on any community page.

Features

• Quick Buttons: create pm, open messenger and show/hide Live Messenger window.
• Quick access to recent private messages.
• Quick access to the private conversation.
• Messages in a minimal design, without distracting design elements.
• Select the groups that can use Live Messenger.
• PM read/unread icon.
• Quick message sending.

Really beautiful application but I have problems with the display, here on basic skin:

The user badge covers the text, and the space under the text form is huge. Also I think the message highlighting here is ugly....

With the skin I use on my forum instead, a skin of @Ehren, the illuminate Dark

when I hover over the "Messenger" tab, it turns completely white

Look very good, I was hoping to test it on our test site, but we running latest IPB beta on it 😞

@Askancy thanks, It will be fixed in next version.

Hi @Kirill another little advice.

If one has a forum configured as PWA and has devised a bar with tabs to browse the forum, the messenger bar takes up the whole string...

It would be nice to have a setting where you can choose whether to have this messenger tab in the footer, or in the right/left side of the page so it's not annoying, That follows the scrolling of the page, but is not disruptive.

example:

Hello, @Askancy!

New 1.0.1 version is waiting for approval and in this version I have added a setting to disable this floating block. Perhaps in the next versions I will add the ability to customize the position of the block on mobile, thanks.

[LiveG]

Sound and look indeed like a useful APP! 
I will wait for the 4.7 combability to install it. 
Thank you @Kirill Gromov

Nice! I am trying this out.

I fall in the same boat as some others - my community utilizes a footer navigation.

When the Live Messenger app is enabled, it covers it. Perhaps a small message icon wrapped in a circle floating above the footer nav would suffice as an additional option? 

 

Also, when I went to message someone back, it was blank on both the Live Messenger section, and also in the PM itself.

 

 

Any insight would be great! Thanks. 🙏

In the next version, I will add the ability to switch the view in the acp settings.

Are all messages empty or just one under some circumstances?

Thank you! I disabled the app once I tried messaging someone and it was blank. I will try again today and see. 🙏 

Looking forward to the different view as well.

If a person has the form selected and clicks submit or presses send, it sends a blank message, whereas it should behave like the message application and not send anything...

In addition, live messenger should not be shown if a user is not logged in

Thanks for giving me this free app. 

I have footer bar so I edit css and it looks nice above my footer bar.

[Kirill Gromov]

2. Selecting a display style: bar or bubble.
3. New setting for margin from the bottom on mobile devices.
4. Some fixes.

Hi Kirill,

I'm about 15 minutes new to this. You seem extremely well versed with the Vision platform, IT & all other layers of technology. Will Vision allow me to post reviews anonymously, including the IP address? If not, any suggestions where I can locate software to help this? 

Many thanks!!!!

[Afrodude]

Hi @Kirill Gromov some small requests to improve this beautiful great app. 

• Hide the app whenever you click anywhere else on the site instead on pressing on the minimize button. 
• Add ability to auto refresh whenever you are receiving a new private message. 
• Add ability to SORT BY and FILTER BY 
• Add data-ipsTooltip to the icons in order to be more helpful.

Hi @Kirill Gromov any word on above suggestions? 

[Kirill Gromov]

Hello,  @Afrodude, thanks for your suggestions.

I'll put them on the to-do list, but I do not promise their quick implementation, because I have many other tasks in my plans.

I just tried to install this from Marketplace in my IPB.

It's listed in the section 'Applications not currently installed'. Then when I click the install + next to it I get thid:

 Sorry, you do not have permission for that!
2C133/4 The application you are attempting to install appears to be installed already. To reinstall the application you must first uninstall it.

What do I need to do to get it working? IPB 4.7

[cualupe]

Delete that comment I fixed it, it was a htaccess issue
