Options for Tinychat

    Greetings,

    Thanks for making this plug in. 🙂

    Might there be an option to configure it so that users go into a room automatically rather than having to type in a room name?

    It’s fine to have a list of rooms available somewhere, of course, but I think people that are inexperienced will be off put and unsure of what to enter. I’d like to have one room that is consistently available. Is that not a possibility?

    Can the names of users on WordPress automatically become their names in Tinychat? Or if that name is already used in Tinychat maybe append something specific to the room, like UserName-BostonMA or UserName-LosAngelesCA, etc. I’m currently experimenting with a geographically focused site.

    There is such enormous potential with what you have made here. Are you the creator of Tinychat.com too?

    Thank you. 🙂

    Hi @islevegan

    Thanks for the input, but due to bad health the past 20 months I’ve only done basic updates,
    The idea’s you’ve suggested is something I’d like to do to be honest,
    but I’ll make sure I’m up to full health until I try a full rewrite.

    I could however create you a personal plugin based on this for your website so that the room you select automatically loads as I’ve done that a few times for several users that have requested it,
    I could also try to get the name of the WordPress user so when they join the chat room then their name shows but they’ll still have the ability to change their names in the chat.

    Also Tinychat was purchased about 2 years ago by another company and since then they have changed a lot of the API data on their servers so I’ve not done much of what you’ve suggested since then due to them changing the API data and also where it’s stored on there servers which is a pain but for the past 12 months it looks like they’ve stayed with the usual paths.

    If you could get back to me if you’d like me to do a separate version for you then please let me know.

    Regards,

    Rudder

    Thank you for responding to my request; I didn’t notice it till moments ago. 🙂

    That is such a nice offer. Thank you. Hoping your health improves. Low stress, quality nutrition, and plenty of quality sleep can make a world of difference. Easy said, not always easy to do.

    My site is http://1-1.hopto.org

    I am trying to create a place for people to build community online that hopefully manifests as real life collaborations.

    It is just me doing this site in my very limited free time when I’m not working (6 days a week and then some). The developer of the Zephyr Project Management plug in provided some excellent support and customization for me; unprecedented support! Thank you @dylanjkotze.

    I host it on an old laptop and haven’t spent any money on it; even for hosting.

    If I can wrangle a compelling service together I would promote it to municipalities, counties, and states as a way to get people together.

    Hello again.

    What would be the process for getting an updated plug in for my website? Or would I be better off waiting for the primary plug in to be updated?

    The reason for creating the personal plug in would be to avoid potentially breaking more sites, or would there be a fee for the personal plug in, in which case it might be a matter of financial motivation. Possibly both or other reasons.

    Contemplating the future of tinychat and WordPress integration.

    Thank you. 🙂

    @ruddernationdesigns If you need to contact the moderators about this then you can do so via the Slack #forums channel.

    To use that channel you need a Slack account. You can obtain one via these instructions.

    https://make.wordpress.org/chat/

    When you contact the #forums channel, inform them what your WordPress.ORG forum user ID is. That will help the moderators find your account and ascertain what the issue is.

    If you do use Slack do not direct message me or any other moderator. Use the #forums channel and any moderator there can assist you.
