Way to make all chat history readable?

Dexian1 (talkcontribs)

Hello! Wonderful extension =)

Installed it on our new wiki, our users are requesting that all the chat history can be read in the window by scrolling up (so no need to access logs).

Wanted to ask if there is a way to configure it so it won’t clear?

They are used to this style in discord I believe 🙏🏻

hey, I'm very happy to hear that that you're enjoying using the extension. There is no setting to enable this, and I'm not actively maintaining it anymore I'm afraid. There would need to be changes to the code to enable this feature. Sorry about that :)

Operator error; can't call chat

Just got this extension installed, ran update.php, checked for it on the special:version page and all looks good. How do I set up or open a chat window from there? I am assuming that I missed something on the instructions page? please help!

As it turns out, the install was successful, but it took a bit for changes to propagate to special pages. My next issue, if anyone has any clue, is how to add a separate chat window for a given page/category in the discussion area. I think the optimal would be having a button on a given page that points back to the chat for a category, rather than a chat for the whole wiki.

Users with no chat privileges shouldn't be able to read its log

I thought the chat room could be kept private just by giving only some users the related right, but apparently any user can read conversations just by going to the chat log page. Shouldn't that page be accessible only to users with char rights? Otherwise I don't really see what's the point.

In which directory should I save the smiley icons and avatars?

GeorgeBarnick (talkcontribs)

You can upload smileys to the wiki and then on your MediaWiki:Smileys page just reference the wiki file name.

Thanks so much George.

Summary by TheROFL98

MediaWiki:chat-mod-image needed to be specified.

If you change MediaWiki:chat-mod-image to a different URL for the icon that denotes a user being a chatmod, that should solve it

That fixed it! Thanks!

Some of the IP address I used for edit is blocked so I use the unblock ticket request system to request for IP block excemption. But a database error occured when I try to submit my request. Why will be that (What's the problem) and how I should do?

How is the sidebar module activated?

"Skins that support the sidebar interface message ('MediaWiki:Sidebar`) will show a sidebar module of all the users currently on chat." - On my wiki I use Vector and there's a sidebar, but no chat module shows up; I even tried deleting my customized sidebar so that everything is default, but nothing.


Should I add it manually, and how?

How hard would it be to work something like http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/EmoticonsWindow into MediaWikiChat? Probably behind a parameter or as just something one can add to a JS page like Common.js or Vector.js

I don't currently know any JS but if it isn't to hard to implement it I'd be be willing to try. I was thinking version 1.2 would be the best starting point since it's the last version that doesn't use Wikia's method of parsing emoticons.
