Another little tweak that I would like (following feedback comments on the site http://gardenerschat-shed.net/ ) is an Elggchat pop-up that alerts members when someone has invited them for a chat. At present they just get a black rectangle appearing on their chat toolbar and many complain they miss it.
What's needed is a pop-up alert to draw better attention to the fact that someone is being polled for a chat.
I've looked through the various chat plugins but can't find one. Is there such a plugin available? Or has anyone modified a chat plugin to have this feature?
Thanks,
G.

You must log in to post replies.i would think it would be fairly easy to implement the notification popup for system messages that we already have in place and just trigger one for new pm. ill take a look and see what i can find, thats no guarentee now as i am fairly new to this as well, but should be fairly easy for someone with experience to implement.
Under settings you can enable"flashing for new messages", I think this will be enought :) (You can also Enable sounds)
Thanks Durangod - that's what I thought, but I'm not familiar enough with it. Although I was referring to the chat feature and not the personal messaging feature.
I'd be very grateful if someone could come up with a solution.
Regards,
G
Hi Omar - thanks for that.
I already have the flashing alert and sound enabled. However a lot of members who are used to other chat systems seem hooked on the idea of an automatic pop-up when they are invited for a chat. It's one of the regular subjects of the site feedback service.
It's not a critical thing, but you like to "give the customer what they want" don't you?!
All the best,
G.
