Is this for just UNA site or everyone? And is it automatically installed for people on Cloud 4 plans?
-
- · Kit Cloudkicker
- ·
It's for everyone. Ready whenever you are!
-
Everyone. Both for 10.1 and for 11. You can upgrade through Studio unless it’s already set to automatic updates. If automatic updates are chosen it should be installed already.

Upgrade successful. Thank you. Andrew Boon I see there is mention of this using some ReactJs. Is there any update on the ReactJot that was previewed back in December 2018?

I will have to be totally honest, I do enjoy the update, but one thing I would really like to see down the road if possible is the ability to add our own emojis to the shoutbox...Many other boards' shoutbox allows for custom emojis, and I think that messenger here would definitely benefit from it(custom emojis being able to be added by admin) Most of them I believe use BBcode for them as well
One other thing I noticed is that to add initial reaction to message you have to click the 3 dot menu next to the message, but once a reaction is added there is an add reaction button below message. Is that by design or should the add reaction button be below all messages?

I don't see anywhere that i can upgrade messenger
-
Yes, you’ll be able to upload custom emojis/reactions. The library supports it and we will build UI tools for it in fiture updates.
as for reaction trigger - yes, current setup is like that by design. As we use it more we will look for further improvements.

Also another thing i see, there is no way to add emoji to message on mobile. The button is missing

I have 10.0.5 and don't have option to upgrade?

We have tried new technology Web components for Emoji. It allows to create cross browser components which can be used in React JS and Web without using additional libs. It is not connected with React Jot app on which we are working.

On mobile you have emojis in Keyboard and that is why we disabled in text area.

If you have auto-update option enabled update should be installed automatically. Otherwise you need to go to Studio -> Apps -> Updates area and here you may find new update. Also please be sure that there is no problems with license and domain. If you previously downloaded and installed module for another domain and now changed it you need to refresh license in you UNA account first.

Will Monte I believe you will have to update to 10.1 to update Messenger.
-
-
I would be curious on how this would be possible currently. is there a folder on the server that the images would just be uploaded to?
-
Will Monte I believe you will have to update to 10.1 to update Messenger.
Homie, i do have 10.1 bro
Can you see the update at Studio -> Apps -> Updates?
-

Hey Will Monte , can you navigate throughout the rest of the App Market such as Storefront, Search, to make sure it's not a License/Key issue on your side?
If you can, I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with the update channel but, maybe go into Developer and see what your update channel is. I am currently set to Beta so, maybe try switching it? Just a thought.

Hello Alexey, It seems that since the update, the conversion of the links is done only after refreshing the page.

Will Monte I believe you will have to update to 10.1 to update Messenger.
Homie, i do have 10.1 bro
Can you see the update at Studio -> Apps -> Updates?
It's empty, look

Hello Baloo,
Do you mean when you send the link embed card is not appeared in the same time and you need to reload the page to see it ?
-

Alexey

By default, the all media files are stored in separate folder in Stroage directory on yout server as other medai files from UNA. It is not a problem to add any number of other storage folders to save custom Emoji or any other images.

Yes, that's it Alexey.
-
The emoji add is when you press the three dots next to the message
-
Do you have any paid plans on UNA that allow it to auto update?
-

I know it's convenient for many to add the conversations on ALL separate pages into the messenger listing but I want people to navigate to the page separately. Also I think it would be better to remove the word "Page" next to Shout Out. [ See Screenshot]. The reason why I want other chats besides main messenger separate is because I want to eventually add the ability where only certain members can be able to message in Shout Out which is just another re-wording of Shoutbox. Separation of these chats can help prevent bugs or glitches in the future. Last I'm not too fond of where the user has to press to start messaging. I think it was better on the bottom in the previous version like how the "Leave a comment" box is in the screenshot

About Shout Box: if you create custom messenger blocks on different pages, it will use Page title as title for the talk by default. We will add ability to edit titles of the talk in the nearest version. You may remove Page: prefix in language keys for messenger in Studio->Polyglot
About Post area text: You may see it on your first screenshot Message... title. You can also change it via Polyglot. -
If you like to get auto-update, you need to have PRO or CLOUD UNA plan and to enable auto-update option in Studio->Settings->Site settings.
-
Do you have any paid plans on UNA that allow it to auto update?
No
-
Unless you update it through Github yourself then I believe you would need a paid plan to auto update or pay your server provider to do it for you
-
I would like separate page Shout Box massages to not be included in the messages in Messenger. I want people to eventually upgrade to a different paid level or use credits to get access to Shout Box and I also want people to travel to the separate page to view Shout Box messages. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of a separate page/module for Shoutbox and looks too much like a Group message system
