[PLUG-IN] System Message or Warning Message

System Message or Warning Message

(Versions 1.3 - 1.9.1) (Not supported in 2.0+)

This short plug in will give your install of AWC two new commands; 'system' and 'warning'. The [ic]/system[/ic] command will post a system message to AWC, this message does not have an author or time. The [ic]/warning[/ic] command does the same thing, but looks important and can be used to warn people or tell them off for breaking rules.

Here's the short plug in code, just stick it underneath your AWC install script.

Code:

[panda=js]avacweb_chat_config.commands.system = {
    description : '/system message - post a system message',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="system-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};
avacweb_chat_config.commands.warning = {
    description : '/warning message - post a warning message',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="warning-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};
avacweb_chat_config.message_hook.push(function(row) {
    var m = $('.system-message, .warning-message', row)[0];
    if(m) {
        var msg = m.getElementsByTagName('td')[0].innerHTML;
        row.innerHTML = '<div class="' + m.className + '">' + msg + '</div>';
    }
});

Then to top it off and make it stylish add this CSS to your forums CSS[tip]Found at ACP > Display > Colors > CSS Stylesheet[/tip]

Code:

[panda=css].system-message, .warning-message {
    font-weight: bold;
    border: 1px solid #AAA;
    padding: 3px 5px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
    color: #666;
    background: #DDD;
    text-shadow: 0 1px white;
}
.warning-message {
    border: 1px solid rgb(228, 130, 130);
    color: rgb(196, 14, 14);
    background: rgb(245, 174, 174);
}

Enjoy.

Cool Thank You, Gonna try it

Could you please change is so that the command is one word?

When using the command /Warning Message or /System Message it works, however the "Message" bit still spills over into the chat.

Tried changing it but just broke it doing so. I'm really hopeless with JS.

Thanks in advance!


Edit : In fact, this code seems to screw with AWC 1.7 quite a bit. Maybe it needs updated? When using this script, every time I make a message, it'll show for a moment, then disappear, then reappear again. Weirdness.

Edit 2 : Okay, so clearing the chatbox fixed the weirdness of Edit 1. I guess I'll make it a habit to clear the chatbox after installing new plugins.


Edit 3 : Never mind the first bit of this reply. I'm an idiot. I thought the command was /warning message ...

is there a way to make this for mods only?

LG is can u make it for BB code ?

I don't think this is possible at this time, but you can always "fool" your members into thinking that the commands are still "/system" & "/warning". If they try to use them, they get the "this command is not available or does not exist" alert.

What I did was simply changed the command & the description. I changed the commands to "/sysmsg" & "/warnmsg" & added "Chatbox moderators only." to the descriptions for each command. Of course I shared the new commands with the moderators only & requested they keep it secret.

The code for that part ..
change

Code:

avacweb_chat_config.commands.system = {
    description : '/system message - post a system message',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="system-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};
avacweb_chat_config.commands.warning = {
    description : '/warning message - post a warning message',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="warning-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};

to:

Code:

avacweb_chat_config.commands.sysmsg = {
    description : '/system message - post a system message. Chatbox moderators only.',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="system-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};
avacweb_chat_config.commands.warnmsg = {
    description : '/warning message - post a warning message. Chatbox moderators only.',
    run : function(text) {
        if(text && text.length) {
            return '[table class="warning-message"][tr][td]' + text + '[/td][/tr][/table]';
        }
        return false;
    }
};

The "Merge Messages" option in 1.8 makes consecutive warning/system messages not appear.

I'll try and update this to support 1.8+.

This seems to be an issue with the "quoting" plugin as well ... maybe these posts should be moved to the AWC chat topic instead of here?

most likely not working with AWC 2.0 test

Not working properly, it just makes the text appear in a new line.

Yeah this plug in uses hooks which are no longer supported.
