Whoa, when did the IM start doing that?

Topic was moved from General Questions.

yeah when did that start happening 

Hello,

Look at this file:

ow_plugins\ajaxim\static\js\ajaxim.js

Replace line 1175 from:

        }, 7000); // TODO Select autohide time

to:

        }, 10000); // TODO Select autohide time

if you want it to stay visible for 10 seconds.

Choose any number you like!  ;)

As for me, I have completely removed that function so that the notification never disappears (at least until the member goes to another page!)

If you would like to do the same, remove the following code:

        setTimeout(function(){

            notification_container.fadeOut('slow', function(){

                notification_container.remove();

            })

        }, 7000); // TODO Select autohide time

Hope this helps!

Thank you S. Bourdon. IT working.

And I have a new question for you,  do you know how to make the chat box to open in new window when receive a new massage from friend like facebook for the.

( Or do you know how I can make Instant chat box to pop up every time my members login to my site? please see the attack picture)

You're welcome!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to open up a new window when a new message comes in but here's what I did to make the notification box pops up at all times!

Open:

ow_plugins\ajaxim\static\js\ajaxim.js

Replace:

            if (OW_InstantChat_App.contactManager.isActiveMode())

            {

                this.createNewMessageNotification(message);

            }

With:

            this.createNewMessageNotification(message);

Also, you could make that little notification box stand out a little more by modifying its colors or by displaying it fully.

To achieve that, open:

ow_themes\YOUR_THEME\base.css

Replace:

.ow_chat_notification .ow_author_block{

height:39px;

margin:2px;

overflow:hidden;

padding:0;

position:relative;

With:

.ow_chat_notification .ow_author_block{

height:39px;

margin:2px;

padding:0;

position:relative;

background:#ff6d08;

Using the Origin theme, here's the result:

I guess the end result is the same as what you asked for!  ;)

Thank You S. Bourdon your code are working.

please which line can i do the popup

This little window pops-up by default, but only when the Chat box is maximized.

With the little code modification provided above, it will always pop-up!

Give it a try!  ;)

It in line 1300

This is neat, but if the main chat box is maximized but hidden (the auto slide to the right) then you can't see the message at all...

is there any way to chat where the popup message appears?

I see it!

That's not what you get?

oh I spose I see that... but you can read the message without it expanding...

Hey guys, I added the the customizations to allow the notification to stay open for 20 seconds, and to have the notification appear even when the chat box is minimized but it's not working.

I've never seen this popup this is cool wish my site did this right now you have no idea if someone has sent you a message.
