yes, i just haven't release it yet.

@MichaelI have also PMed you here about an issue, please get back to me.

Changed Status from Pending to Work in Progress

its a automatic process the closing. this really is a server issue, php/apach (or nginx) can't set file permissions on the file. try deleting the directory for cjdml and extacting and uploading the files directly via ftp, then manually running the upgrade process.

no worries, IPS dev's must've liked hide and go seek as a kid

I'm aware of the issue, it wasn't happening on my local, but a few other people have pointed it out that it happens on their site. i don't know the exact cause of it, but figured out a way to get past it. i'm currently testing the fix now, so i will update the app when done with my testing.

part of the problem seems to be with "custom emojis" the first image is from my installation here, and the second one is from my relatively "fresh" dev board, seems IPS changed them, why i couldn't duplicate right away on my dev, i guess this is similar to what is happening to you too, that you have these basic text emoji's as customs like i do. now i know why, i can work on a solution as i don't see IPS getting rid of "custom emoji's" any time soon

i've converted the suggestions about limiting the mentions to those in the chat to a project card in my project tracker: https://codingjungle.com/stratagem/projects/4-babble/?card=313

here is a video of me being able to duplicated the error in forums.

this has been fixed in 2.8.4, the only time i was able to duplicate it was coming back from idle.

Excellent news. I've posted a message in our forums to see if there's more information, but I think it may just be a case of waiting longer for it to load. They're all still absolutely ecstatic with Babble though - they absolutely love it! D

not sure what was wrong, but i restarted both of 'em, it seems to be back up.

i walked across every line in the babble.js for the chat service line by line several times this weekend and i couldn't find anything wrong with it. i even setup my computers in the house (including my phone and tablets) on a local network with access to NA chat service. spent various times thru out the day of logging out/in, letting them go idle, switching users, even went as far as having at least 3 tabs open per person and had each user in multiple rooms (not everyone in the same room). then i attempted to simulate every possible way i could think of how to disconnect (forced shutdown, unhooking the ethernet cable, force kill of the browser, switching to wifi networks from cellular and back, power savers, going to sleep/standby. at one point i even had taken my old laptop, removed the battery, switched from hardwire to wifi, then force killed the browser and then immediately unplugged the power supply) and after all that. every user was removed from the online list after their time had expired (set them to update their online time every 30 seconds and then only by 2 minutes so i wasn't waiting for it to happen hours later) or when they moved out of the room/page/closed the browser (as long as it was their only or last presence in that room) at this point the only thing i can think of, that there is a server configuration i didn't plan for. maybe the user data is getting cached some how and shared to guest (via IPS output caching or something on the server that i am not aware of) or it could be cloduflare in some fashion or one of the other front end caching services that can play havoc with real time data. however even tho i couldn't find anything wrong with the code, i did see 2 ways i could improve it easily without rolling out a new version and then blocking previous versions and/or rewriting it again. I will be implementing these changes tonight at midnight my time (12 am central standard time/ -6 UTC), so the chat services will be unavailable for a short time later tonight (it shouldn't take long, 10 minutes at most to upgrade both).

Good morning. I Notice that the North American server is not working. This sites chat is also down. Regards

its back up

No problem.. Since the latest release the chat has been very stable, and my users are very happy with it.

its been released and both chat service regions have been update to work with this new version, previous versions will not function with the chat service due to the changes and addressing the security issue.

yeah i thought it was the forcing websockets only, but now i am not sure. I've isolated it to it emitting the online list. hopefully i can get it solved soon.

wasn't changed, it was fixed

not atm, but the basic command works identical to the way they use to. so you could create new command, select "basic". for the content, do something like this: #user# slaps #msg# then for the command help, have /slaps <username> some message so when they did /slaps bob with a big stick it would parse out to: michael slaps bob with a big stick or you can just have the #msg# be the user name and add your own phrase for it: #user# slaps #msg# with a wet noodle so they can do: /slaps bob and it will print out: michael slaps bob with a wet noodle. you don't have to end there, you could always create one where they can insert their own message, and then have predefined ones like /slapFish /slapNoodle, etc. i should add a setting in the commands however, that makes a second parameter a requirement, just thought nothing is stopping them from doing /slaps without a second argument. I'll try get a more detailed guide out for advanced and basic out this weekend (been busy tackling this online list issue that still creeping up).

you can send me a copy of the plugin in a PM and i will see what is conflicting and try to fix it

a lot of the embeds are iframes, but i'll see what i can do.

I will be sending you a PM, please read it. i've setup a babble chat server in amsterdam, that is closer than NYC to you i hope

it appears broken for me. i can't get access to 2 of the 4 files it says to download and put into uploads (cause the URLS for them are broken). so i can't fully test it i assume. I looked over there hooks, they don't cross each other at any point, so i am at a loss as to what is causing that. i don't make any remote connections with n2a, so i am gonna say cleantalk is trying to make a connection to a server that is refusing the connection.

when i install cleantalk and have my local in_dev, i get this error: Whoops\Exception\ErrorException thrown with message "Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Services_JSON has a deprecated constructor" Stacktrace: #8 Whoops\Exception\ErrorException in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/uploads/JSON.php:115 #7 Whoops\Run:handleError in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/plugins.php:958 #6 require_once in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/plugins.php:958 #5 eval in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/plugins.php:958 #4 IPS\core\modules\admin\applications\_plugins:settings in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php:85 #3 IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller:execute in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/system/Node/Controller.php:62 #2 IPS\Node\_Controller:execute in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/plugins.php:38 #1 IPS\core\modules\admin\applications\_plugins:execute in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php:146 #0 IPS\_Dispatcher:run in /mnt/c/public_html/dev/admin/index.php:13 I'm also disturbed by the fact creates files, JSON.php and cleantalk.class.php in the uploads directory, and they appear to be written with archaic standards (like php 4). they have multiple classes in cleantalk.class.php and various "global" functions. but i registered an account, got a key and "enabled" it (turned in_dev off on my local). i do have n2a installed and i am able to access the activity stream just fine. could you check your system logs in Support, to see if there was anything specifically thrown/caught for n2a or cleantalk?

okay, run the IPS Support Tool in your acp under support. it will say it has a patch to fix settings not saving. apply the patch. then go to Babble->configuration->general and click save, it should now resolve.

Seems to be gone now thanks for prompt fix

you can do that, or you can replace the file applications/babble/sources/Rooms/Rooms.php with this one. Rooms.php

here are a few of the different areas for configuration and room setup.

Is there a way to get the search box on the same line as the menu like it was in the previous version? Thanks, Steve K.

.cBabbleUserMain { width:250px!important; } this is a short term fix, but you can adjust the width by adding this to your custom.css (adjust to the width you desire, i think the default IPS css gives it a width of 200px, it looks like you just need a slight width increase). in v3 the name will be above the messages, so this wont be an issue (hopefully).

i'm thinking of redoing questions. when i started off "downloads plus" it actually started off as just "downloads and questions" then grew from there. by time i realized the interface was sorta horrid for questions, i had already invested a fair bit of time into it. so it does need some TLC imho. you are not too far off, one of the planned tabs for dplus is "suggestions" or "feedback", along with "tutorials/guides" and "road maps/future versions" type stuff.

i call submenu's usually, in the code they are called "children" but to answer your question, got customization->themes->your theme, click on the pencil icon and then go to the "text" tab, and find "link hover color". that will change them however suite wide, if you just want to target cj menu, you can add this to your customs.css .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_child > li:hover > a .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_alt_child > li:hover > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_alt_child > li.on > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_child > li.on > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_mega_container > ul > li.on > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_mega_container > ul > li:hover > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_mega_child > li:hover > a, .cjmenu_bars .cjmenu_mega_child > li.on > a, .cjmenu_block > li:hover > a, .cjmenu_block > li.on > a, .cjmenu_block .cjmenu_block_child > ul > li.on > a, .cjmenu_block .cjmenu_block_child > ul > li:hover > a { color: #somecolor } change the #somecolor to a hex color value you'd like.
