Chat

We recently added a chat feature to PeerBlogs and asked our registered users to take it for a test ride. The results are in and it looks good enough to officially announce it.

  • User, group and private chat rooms
  • Complete chat application and/or shoutbox (movable)

  • Customize the application
  • Delete messages

You can find the Chat feature in the toolbar on top, offering a full chat page and a shoutbox. The chat page is integrated in the user profile, where it also has a link.

While the chat application supports public and private rooms, the shoutbox is connected to the general public room (free for all). Every user can also move the conversation to an own private room. Groups can create their own chat rooms.

Widget Logic

We have added a plugin which gives every widget an extra control field called “Widget logic” that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on.

The text field uses WordPress‘ Conditional Tags.
Example: a widget could be shown on the frontpage or a specific page only.

Conditional tags are quite easy to use, such as

is_single(’17′)

when Post 17 is being displayed as a single Post.

See Conditional Tags for a list of all options.

Widget Logic is a plugin that can be activated on the “Plugins” page.
