Chat facility is being worked on.

I know that it has been a while, and I am in the mist of coding and sorting out things in the background.

I might not ever look busy.... probably because I am not.. LOL but really I am doing things.. Promise.

I am looking to put potentially ChatGPD onto the forum.

What and why will this help? firstly it will give you a notification of when someone has posted. It will allow members to interact like a lot of other main stream social media accounts. But it will be just as easy to use.

concerns .. I have MANY. but I am looking into all of them that I am aware of right now.

you can see that I am looking.. here are some codes. LOL


document.getElementById('alarm').addEventListener('click', () => {
const audio = document.getElementById('sound');
if (audio) {
audio.play().catch((e) => {
console.warn('Audio playback blocked:', e);
});
}
});

$('#sound').get(0).play().catch((error) => {
console.error('Playback failed:', error);
});



:Select Content
function _DeskSoundNotify() {
$.ajax({
url: '/notification.forum',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data, txt, xhr) {
if (alarm) {
if (data.unread > prevunread) {
if (prevunread >= 0) {
const soundElement = $('#sound').get(0);
if (soundElement) {
soundElement.play().catch((error) => {
console.error('Audio playback failed:', error);
});
}
}
prevunread = data.unread;
}
}
}
}).always(function() {
setTimeout(_DeskSoundNotify, update_timer);
});


function _DeskSoundNotify() {
$.ajax({
url: '/notification.forum',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data, txt, xhr) {
if (alarm) {
if (data.unread > prevunread) {
if (prevunread >= 0) {
const soundElement = $('#sound').get(0);
if (soundElement) {
soundElement.play().catch((error) => {
console.error('Audio playback failed:', error);
});
}
}
prevunread = data.unread;
}
}
}
}).always(function() {
setTimeout(_DeskSoundNotify, update_timer);
});
}






Just to give you a idea of what I am doing and what is happening... it is not as easy as the current chat that I set up... But it is much more detailed... the users wont have a issue... but omg... putting all this onto the board which will act like the normal chat is a pain.

So please bear with me .. I promise I am still working hard to get this done

alarm_color_on = "white";
alarm_color_off = "#806060";
alarm_title_on = "Turn off sound notifications";
alarm_title_off = "Enable sound notifications";
update_timer = 1000;

function GetAlarm() {
var al = localStorage.getItem('alarm');
return al === "1";
};

alarm = false;

function SetAlarm(al) {
localStorage.setItem('alarm', al ? "1" : "0");
if (GetAlarm()) {
$('#alarm').text('notifications');
$('#alarm').css('color', alarm_color_on);
$('#alarm').attr('title', alarm_title_on);
DeskInstallNotify();
} else {
$('#alarm').text('notifications_off');
$('#alarm').css('color', alarm_color_off);
$('#alarm').attr('title', alarm_title_off);
}
alarm = al;
};

function SwitchAlarm() {
SetAlarm(!GetAlarm());
};

prevunread = -1;
_DeskSoundNotify = function() {
$.ajax({
url: '/notification.forum',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data, txt, xhr) {
if (alarm) {
if (data.unread > prevunread) {
if (prevunread >= 0)
$('#sound').get(0).play();
prevunread = data.unread
}
}
}
}).always(function() {
setTimeout(_DeskSoundNotify, update_timer)
});
};

function DeskInstallNotify() {
setTimeout(_DeskSoundNotify, update_timer * 2);
};


$(function() {
$(function() {
if ($('#mNotificationBtn').length == 0 && _userdata["session_logged_in"] > 0) {
alarm = GetAlarm();
$('<span id="notify_alarm" onclick="SwitchAlarm();" style="font-size: 20px; cursor: pointer;" ><i title="' + (alarm ? alarm_title_on : alarm_title_off) + '"class="material-icons" style="font-size: 18px; position: relative; top: 5px; color:' + (alarm ? alarm_color_on : alarm_color_off) + '" id="alarm">' + (alarm ? 'notifications' : 'notifications_off') + '</i></span>') .insertBefore($('#fa_hide'));
if (alarm) DeskInstallNotify();
};
});
});

Maybe a few more members will use it.
I do like the concept of 'the mist of coding'. It's all very foggy to me too.

Well someone mentioned it ages ago about not being alerted when chat is up and when people post.. Not everyone will stick around all day and monitor their computer.

So it might be a nice feature.
But then I realised as I am typing this.... you are going to be excluded. Lack of Tech.

It's ok, I'm one of the sad people who sit around all day monitoring my computer. Nobody cares though

Sad, no, and we all care about you TCM.

Bless you dear. You'll go on Santa's Good List for that.
