I understand. In the previous post you mentioned to remove max-width: 80px in code, I didn't remove it, but I did enter 110px and that's fine. But I should remove those 80px in this code, right? And then I should do the fix that you have provided today?

@rjen

I gave you a quick fix that would solve your immediate issue, but it resulted in a different avatar size then intended.

The one I included in TinyPortal is slightly better, because it will effectively maintain the avatar size we originally intended ...

Thanks for the clarification.

I have Tinyportal installed and option "Use membergroup color for user names throughout the forum" enabled.
But on the Board index, about users who have birthday today, only their age is displayed in membergroup color:

@rjen

Interesting.

If I see it correctly it is just this one user where the age is showing in a different color then the name.

Please tell me: what are the membergroups of this user? Primary and additional groups please ...?

Never mind: I see the same in my test forum: it only shows like that for a user who actually has his/her birthday TODAY.

Not sure if that is easily fixable, but it seems a very minor bug anyway...

The cause is in the standard css. This bit:

/* Define strong as bold, and em as italics */
/* Note: in some particular places, strong has been redefined as font-weight: 600; */
/* This gives a better effect for those areas, and will default to bold for fonts which do not support numerical font-weight */
strong, .strong {
font-weight: bold;
color: #444;
}

The standard css apply a color to the <strong> tag, and the names of those who have their birthday today are marked in <strong>
I do not think it is worth adapting TinyPortal for such an edge-case.

If  it bothers you you may try to remove the    color: #444; from index.css.

Is it possible to hide a shoutbox on the home page of the portal? I mean, shoutbox should only be displayed on the main page of the forum. Supposedly it can be done, I tried to figure it out but I didn't manage it.

I have added a Shoutbox in Top panel blocks. In Actions I checked only Board index, but shoutbox is still showing up on the homepage of the portal.

Okay, when I unchecked this function, the shoutbox is no longer displayed on the home page of the portal.


@rjen

I am not sure where that checkbox comes from.

This is my setting in the shoutbox block to do exactly what you are asking: only showing it on the board index...

From another topic

Quote from: jsx on October 11, 2022, 08:39:17 AMIn my opinion, the shoutbox from TinyPortal lacks extensive functions, more possibilities, such as, for example, this Chatbox from Invision.

Would you mind to elaborate a bit more what it is that is missing? Not having invision we can only guess what it is that you feel is missing.

It may be that we can include some of that in a next release...

This setting comes from the Shoutbox block setting you showed in the screenshot. When you deselect the Board index, the function I showed in the screenshot will appear.

Flicker appear when scrolling through the shoutbox entries or when the cursor is positioned on the entries.

Take a look at this gif:



Sometimes when scrolling, entries hang up.

Why is this happening?

Yes. I'll write it next time. Thank you for referring to this.

@rjen

The flickering is caused by the edit and delete images showing up when you hover over a shout message. I agree it is not the nicest effect, but caused by the desire to keep the shoutbox compact while still showing the edit and delete icon in a fairly usable size.

Note: this only shows to users that have 'admin' privileges in the shoutbox: not something that you should grant ot all users, so the average Joe does not see this effect...

I'm not sure how that works, but if it's using the display property, it could use visibility instead, so that the box remains at the same size regardless (I think...)

Yeah, was thinking the same actually... room for improvement

@rjen if you can improve it it would be good, because now it doesn't look good for an administrator.

Looking at your example I really cannot reproduce the layout that is giving you issues..

There is not a standard layout in TinyPortal that puts the Timestamp on line 1 and the shout on line 2. Somehow that is showing in your example: how did this layout come to be?
Did you make changes to the TinyPortal files?

It may be to add a quick access to the main settings of the chatbox next to history/update chat and I don't know if it is due add any words or icons that are somewhat larger. On phones it can be a bit difficult to press in the right place. Now I am from the cell phone with data but I did not have a system to silence users, right? or may I be confusing things?

and I think I understand @jsx wants something more centralized all on one side although I think as it is handled independently it is easier to carry... it is already to one each taste and comfort I suppose.

@rjen

Sorry, appreciate the effort, but I still do not understand what it is you want to improve: I do not have Invision, so please explain exactly what is required and under what circumstances?

I now seem to understand multiple suggestions...

Suggestion 1: Quick access to the setting for the shoutbox next to history/update?
I assume you want that for admins only? And what link to go to?
There is a link to the block settings on all blocks: that's where you maintain the block-spocific shoutbox settings as well

We could include a link to this page, is that it?

Suggestion 2: icons larger on mobile phones?

Please be specific: what Icons exactly?

Suggestion 3: system to silence users?

That sounds like you want to mute users that are annoying you?
That does not exist: if you want users to not use the shouts, do not give them permission via the member group. That is not sufficient?

Suggestion 4: layout on 1 side?

Tinyportal offers 4 different layouts, suitable for portrait or landscape blocks. You have the flexibility to put the shoutbox to the side, the top, bottom, where you want...

I have no changes to the TinyPortal files. I have this layout selected:


tinoest

Do you have a link to your site? I am going to have a guess it's down to the resolution you are viewing it in, or some other CSS change on the site which is pushing the div outside the normal size.
