Testing new chat

submitted by system to TalkDev 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 08:20:16 ago (+16/-1)     (TalkDev)

Chat has been revamped. It looks pretty much the same but underneath it's now running it's own web server. This allows for real time communication and other potential stuff.

Currently there are 2 rooms. Global and videos but I will open up music soon. You can switch between rooms with /room nameofroom. Videos and music are "video" rooms where you can queue youtube videos up and they will play in sync across devices in the chat. Queue a video with /video and the youtube url or id. You can skip a video you've queued (while it's playing) with /skip. Music has a 10 minute limit and videos has a 30 minute limit.

The chat log will now only load the last 20 messages. You can reload the daily log with /loadlog. This works for global chat only and only while in the full sized chat window.

This is a beta test so there will be problems. Please report any you come across.


Edit: Some people are having trouble with the new chat. I want to figure this out and the more information you provide the better. In the mean time you can use the full sized chat window here https://www.voat.xyz/frontchat?chatview=full

Hmm, chat stopped working for me... 🤔

[ - ] system [op] 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 09:03:56 ago (+1/-0)

What happens exactly? Is it refreshing or message just disappears or?

[ - ] Antiliberalsociety 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 12:23:32 ago (+1/-0)*

It's acting just like a suspension. Nothing happens when I try to comment... 🤔

On second attempt it works on the little window only, not full view.

It's very gay.

[ - ] Cynabuns 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 18:50:48 ago (+1/-0)

And fake.

[ - ] bosunmoon 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 19:05:40 ago (+1/-0)

I'm pretty sure it's real. That's why I'm complaining with apostrophes.

[ - ] Cynabuns 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 19:14:52 ago (+1/-0)

So gay but not fake?

Sidebar chat seems to work fine. But fullsize it seems only /loadlog works and nothing else. Not /color, not even sending messages. Plus when you load the daily log, all the timestamps are 00:00.

You're awesome! Very cool. Thanks for your work.

[ - ] fightknightHERO 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 12:36:07 ago (+1/-0)

it doesn't work in full view, only windowed

[ - ] system [op] 0 points 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 20:14:43 ago (+0/-0)

I'd like to figure this out, but I'd need someone to work with me to provide info. In the mean time you can use https://www.voat.xyz/frontchat?chatview=full for a full sized chat window.

[ - ] fightknightHERO 0 points 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 20:17:05 ago (+0/-0)

i figured what the problem was
when you click the chat button it leads you to https://www.voat.xyz:2087/talkchat

that 2087 is obviously a bug
since the link you sent me uses
https://www.voat.xyz/frontchat?chatview=full

there, problem solved

The chat app requires the use of a different port.

[ - ] fightknightHERO 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 12:07:55 ago (+1/-0)

its broken...

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 2 points 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 13:00:55 ago (+2/-0)

That's a feature

[ - ] UncleDoug 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 08:55:03 ago (+1/-0)

How do you get the global chat back if it has been closed @system?

There is the global chat button to open a new tab, but what about the window?

[ - ] system [op] 3 points 2.6 yearsSep 29, 2021 08:59:31 ago (+3/-0)

In your account options. Or click here https://www.voat.xyz/options.php?action=enablechat
