You must install it in tampermonkey for chrome and/or greasemonkey for firefox. DO NOT INSTALL AS EXTENSION Link to the script hosted by Greasyfork
This script improves the WME chat GUI:
Configuration panel: link “Settings” next to the welcome message at top of message list
removes duplicates messages: it hides messages, but you still receive or (perhaps) emit duplicates.
adds a link on user names in each message to add a “bip” message (customizable in settings)
adds a target link next to the user name allowing to jump to without looking for the user in the list
adds rank after user names
adds date and time or time only to each post (taken from your computer when the message is received)
formats links to clickable links and opens in new tab
formats permalinks to clickable target and jump to position, zoom, and select objects (no WME reload)
light blue (editable in settings) background on new messages posted by you
small “+” and permalink icon next to the input message area to insert current permalink
Chat top pannel (if open) or chat button (if closed) change color to dark red (editable in settings) if someone type a message containing a word in a custom list (see tool tip text) in settings (case unsensitive). Returns back to original color when you send a message, or close chat window.
Play sound on new message (mutable in settings)
Play sound on alert (mutable in settings)
Remove messages of users not in the room (optional in settings)
System message when a user join or leave the room (optional in settings)
Bell icon next to each user in the users list to insert the “bip” in the message
Chat top pannel (if open) or chat button (if closed) change color to dark red if someone type a message containing your name (case unsensitive). Returns back to original color when you send a message, or close chat window.
This script is a load of good fun and usefulness for chat.
Suggest: Have Settings link be available perhaps from the top chat bar instead of having to scroll the chat window back to the beginning.
Suggest: Make the Settings dialog have a “Save” button rather than just “Close” for clarity.
Please change the permissions to only access data on Waze.com or waze beta site. for more info look at the WME toolbox and validator scripts which do this properly. Thanks
If you use Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey, then the limitation is set properly. It is Chrome which doesn’t allow you to set this when you try to install it directly in Chrome. The script does have it set, but since it didn’t come from the Chrome store, Chrome ignores the site restriction.
Is there a way you add two functions in settings ?
-One to set the chat window width (default is 350px), this need to set the following :
#chat .messages {
border-right: 2px solid #E9E9E9;
float: left;
margin-right: -2px;
width: 1000px; <--here the width
}
#chat .messages .new-message {
border-top: 2px solid #E9E9E9;
bottom: 0;
padding: 15px;
position: absolute;
width: 1000px; <--here the width
}
-An one other to set the transparancy of the chat box (in % for example)
#chat .chat-body {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9); <-- 0.9 is for 90% of transparancy
display: none;
min-height: 100px;
}
would it be nice if you could select some members of the chat in order to get alarms or rings just from them -not from everybody writing- when you’re in a conversation.
I would be happy to just have chat. Period. I have been a Waze editor for over a month and recently I can’t even get the chat tab or window to show up. Sometimes after several page reloads I can get it to show up (if I’m lucky).
I wasn’t sure where to post my problem. Any suggestions? I’m frustrated.
Request: Add highlight color for background of text in which the alert text is found. So, when the titlebar of the Chat is changed color due to match alert, that specific text is highlighted too. This will make it easy to scroll back and find where someone was chatting at you while you were away.
Request: Make it easier to dismiss the red-colored title bar from alerts. I think the only way to make it go away now is to chat or minimize the window. Suggest that it should go away when clicking anywhere in the title bar, or clicking into the chat text box.
