Comment to How to create permanent chatrooms in Messenger?

  • The core challenge here isn’t just creating chatrooms, but how to manage visibility and discovery when you potentially have hundreds of thousands of chatrooms and millions of users.

    Before requesting advanced features like public permanent chatrooms or shoutbox improvements, I believe it’s essential to fix some basic but important issues first.

    For example, if I set the Page Width to 1280 in the Designer, the Messenger module should respect this value like any other module on the site. Right now, it doesn’t, and that affects the overall site layout consistency.

    Also, a “Go to start” button inside conversations is a simple but necessary feature. It should allow users to quickly jump to the beginning of a chat without endlessly scrolling.

    If these basic adjustments are implemented first, then it would make sense to move forward with more advanced requests like managing thousands of chatrooms, categories, and shoutbox behaviors.

    • Hello,

      1. The Messenger page does not follow the general site layout rules, as it was specifically designed as an application-style interface that occupies the maximum available space on any device. Other blocks should not be placed on this page, since they interfere with proper functionality. All layout dimensions are calculated dynamically. If this behavior causes layout inconsistencies on your site, we can consider introducing an optional parameter to control its width manually.
      2. Regarding the "Go to start" functionality, if I understand correctly, you mean quickly navigating to the beginning of the chat. By default, there is an arrow in the bottom right corner that appears when you scroll up in the conversation. If this is not working as expected, please clarify the issue.
