Installed and tested  Love the G+.

Had a little time to play with it now and a few thoughts I wrote on the forum.

"Also a really nice feature is the minimise to bar the name of an open IM chat and are still chatting you can tuck it out of the way but not closed. If you get a new message from who you were chatting to then it reopens automatically. Not quite the move function the Pad users may have wanted but a lot better than it was. "

Not quite the move function

what you mean?

[beanflying]

Some of our users that browse on ipads asked about being able to grab and move the chat windows elsewhere on the screen so they can keep looking at the forum without necessarily closing the chat window to others.

The minimise to bar will work I think so not a major one but I did start having a look at adding the java ontap or similar but my Java isn't strong

[SA™]

well i would need an  ipad to test this but im poor but i get what you mean

I have the same issue with cross browser compatibility testing. I have a dumb phone and a windoze laptop and don't speak 'I' so I am ok Better integration of SMF with/without Tapatalk for mobiles and pads is becoming an issue but they change generations to quick.

I just tried minimising around 10 open chat windows on my fixed width 1000px forum and after 7 they started disappearing off the bar. While removing them again the bar at one stage went blank so something is a little flakey if you try and have to many open conversations on the bar. Personally 5 or 6 should be heaps so maybe a software limit might be easiest?

thanks for the reworking on this too

yeah i know i tested that on your site last night the theme needs tweeking

updated the package on git hub with a new wip theme

this new theme save a lot of space on the bar and looks clean to me it also has
improved chat minamised feature it also dont pop back up when minamised it changes colour to red

known bugs for some reason the red gets bigger and bigger not sure why yet

[beanflying]

No sound on messages on the default_new theme. Colour change is working as you explained and a good idea.

I was having a bit of a look around last night for a means to add a few additional social groups and bumped into http://www.addthis.com/ I haven't really looked to closely at the embed code to see if it could be run off the bar but it would cleanup the post area where it is currently located for a trial. Nice thing from your end is you could strip some code and button room if you could incorporate it into the bar? Might be worth a look anyway.

Main reason to look at it is Pinterest photo sharing to get some additional links in to the forum.

[SA™]

il take a look at the sound issue later 

[SA™]

updated package on github

fixed sound issue on new theme missing sound folder
aded suport for addthis script
fixed issue with the red minamised chat growing
fixed hard coded text on new theme
removed other languages as they are now out dated and needed updating

now when a chat is minamised you wil here a bleep but it will keep going untill you read the messgae i need to fix this as it will get anoying lol

[beanflying]

Done a little playing with addthis and there is a small glitch with it off the bar. Unless you are at the top of the page or first post then it doesn't trigger the hover popup, onclick still works and brings up the entire list? The embedded addthis I have on my forum works regardless of which post your on.

Other than that working well

[SA™]

it does trigger it just you have to scroll upto see it  ill see if i can fix that

[beanflying]

Cool I hadn't tried scrolling up.
