I was thinking about forking to achieve this, but i wanted your guys input.

I was thinking a few ways that this package could become the best/default forum package for laravel.

The ability to publish a few more things, for example the forum master layout so that you could customize it safely.
I think some way of having the routes defined in your routes file and defined in the chatter config could help for reasons explained in my next idea.

doing these things will mean quite allot in terms of people extending this forum safely, for example in a caffienated module. If you could publish the master layout, you could require a modified view into other views and make a view just for admins etc to moderate restricted by an outside model.

I think it could be done by simply publishing the master layout and then having the package config check for that first?

The reason i haven't forked is for i figure that the package creator/current code contributors/users are far better to put input on these things.

Any thoughts?

When I try to run migrations with sqlite I get this message:

[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]                                                                            
  SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 Cannot add a NOT NULL column with default value NULL (SQL: alter table "chat  
  ter_discussion" add column "slug" varchar not null) 

This is a great forum
However it really needs to be able to have the ability to edit the Main header / image so it becomes your own & plus i noticed you cant add Category unless you do this via Database which is a pain

I followed the guide, and it's not publishing the views.

View [layouts.app] not found. (View: /Users/manshu/Documents/apps/thinkpmp/vendor/devdojo/chatter/src/Views/home.blade.php)

i have installed on live server i am getting this error on /forums url only

FatalErrorException in Model.php line 779:
Class 'App\User' not found
in Model.php line 779

I have noticed that on the new discussion popup, We have a big of a bug.
Edit - See comments below a temporary fix has been found

Until the package has been updated, you can fix this temporarily within your chatter by declaring the following CSS in your forum custom stylesheet

.col-md-7 .form-control {
    padding: 25px 20px;
}

.col-md-4 .form-control {
    padding: 0 !important;
}

Without this you cannot see the currently selected option in the dropdown.

Ignore, Fixed it myself. Was not a part of your package.

Is there anything on the roadmap that would improve the use of the forum on a mobile device? The creation and contributing to a discussion is a little clunky at the moment.

Just an quick idea I got when I watched @ThomasBS ' stream on
https://www.liveedu.tv/thomasbs/

Laravel already ships with an event system. The chatter should register events there.

We have a problem with our unit tests, Laravel says "Cannot declare class Chatter, because the name is already in use in ../vendor/devdojo/chatter/src/Helpers/Chatter.php on line 3". The problem is that you include "/Helpers/Chatter.php"

My solution to fix this is to use "Facades". Now the developer can add this to the config/app.php
'Chatter' => DevDojo\Chatter\Helpers\Chatter::class,. And add a namespace to the helper class "Chatter".

With this fix unit tests works again.

In my application, i would rather call a route my the name.... cos i have some other functions that depend on having the route named. The "/forums" is not a named route.

I have installed chatter into my project however the config for user profile doesn't work.
If I have the config set to nothing, it still generates a link to /user

If I add something to the config, it takes no effect.

Hi there, I found a XSS vulnerability using your package.

1. Create a new discussion with a title and description.
2. Edit the post content to
   <embed src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxuczpzdmc9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHhtbG5zOnhsaW5rPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8xOTk5L3hsaW5rIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjAiIHg9IjAiIHk9IjAiIHdpZHRoPSIxOTQiIGhlaWdodD0iMjAwIiBpZD0ieHNzIj48c2NyaXB0IHR5cGU9InRleHQvZWNtYXNjcmlwdCI+YWxlcnQoInN0ZWZmZW4yNSBYU1MiKTs8L3NjcmlwdD48L3N2Zz4=" type="image/svg+xml">
3. Click the update response button
4. Then once the post has been updated with the content above go to next step
5. Click the edit button and then click the update response button again like the step 3.
6. You can now see a popup box with the message "steffen25 XSS"
   You can do more nasty stuff this is just an example :)

I tried to capture it using Gyazo but I only had a few seconds to do it but here you go:
Preview

jquery.tinymce.min.js throws this error if app.css is not located in css/app.css

Hi,

We use chatter as our forum package. I was testing the new version on a clean laravel 5.4 installation and I get the following error. "Class 'GrahamCampbell\Markdown\MarkdownServiceProvider' not found". This is triggered by the ChatterController on line 27. I think you forget to add "graham-campbell/markdown" to the composer.json

When I upgraded from v0.1.22...

Normally when a user isnt logged in and tries to create a new disscussion they are redirected to the login page with ?redirect=Forums.

I have built my app around that so
Now it doesnt even do anything when the new discussion button is clicked.

is there a way around this.

FatalThrowableError in Application.php line 606:
Class 'GrahamCampbell\Markdown\MarkdownServiceProvider' not found

because in Chatter's controllers it gets registered:

The composer.json needs to be updated with:

{
    "require": {
        "graham-campbell/markdown": "^7.0"
    }
}

or I prefer checking what the current editor is before registering.

I will send in a PR later.

I want to be able to notify a user on when there is a comment in his discussion.

Also

When I input an image source in the TinyMCE editor, it shows the preview but after posting it doesn't display.

# WHEN I UPLOAD

# AFTER UPLOADING

# I CHECK CHROME CONSOLE

I EDIT IT FROM THE DISCUSSION

Please can you tell me what part of the code to edit to fix this... I can try to find it myself but i still have a lot to do in a short period of time.

Thanks Mate. Good Job.

What would be the best way to customize the views of chatter?

Would be nice if you have a short tipp for me

Best Regards
Max

I am able to install successfully in laravel 5.3. However, after that, no CSS and JS are working although I copied css and js yield.

None of the link in example post are working.

I've installed chatter in laravel 5.3, at first i got error with Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''Laravel'' so i commented out my app.blade.php at line 40
{{-- {{ config('app.name', add "Laravel") }} --}}
and everything went fine.

But after i tried to create new discussion i can't see any text like where to put title, categories etc.
I've followed the video tutorial but i got stuck in here while i trying to figure out what just happened.

ps: sorry for bad english.

Hi i tried to install the chatter application in laravel 5.4, i got a error message when i create a new discussion and create the post. this is the error message. How can i fix it?

FatalThrowableError in ChatterBeforeNewDiscussion.php line 26:
Type error: Argument 2 passed to DevDojo\Chatter\Events\ChatterBeforeNewDiscussion::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator, instance of Illuminate\Validation\Validator given, called in /home/menan/www/fourm/vendor/devdojo/chatter/src/Controllers/ChatterDiscussionController.php on line 66

When you create new discussion/post you only strip the content for validation. And you insert the unstripped variable to the creation of the object.

But when you edit and save it. You strip it for both, the validation and also for the update.

This results in that the html tags are not working after you edit a post. Only when you create one.

Example
When you create the post with few line breaks...

And then you only click edit & save...

I push "create disscation" and vualia:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'color'
cannot be null (SQL: insert into chatter_discussion (title, chatter_category_id, user_id, slug, color, updated_at, created_at) values ({}fghgh, 3, 2, fghgh, , 2017-01-26 13:50:37, 2017-01-26 13:50:37))

What do you guys think to make jQuery a requirement for maybe 0.3? Would make some Javascript development on my part a little easier and much cleaner and opens up some more options as well.

edit: sorry it seems like it already is a requirement.

The title says it all.

Can I use with sentinel. I have problem with Auth::user() method

Hello,

I'm just wondering if Chatter can be integrated with Voyager or is that still to come?

Thanks!

To be honest it seems like this package is abandoned for a long time, lots of PR and issues not even answered...

I want to make people able to favourite dicussions, and then be able to see what dicussions they have favourited

I would like to override some of the routing in my application’s routes folder from this chatter's routes. How do I do that ?

Hi.

I really like this project, and at the moment I am working on some 5.3 stuff, but just wondering for the future...

thanks

Twitter: @symfonycoda

Will this be added in later releases?

I tried using Laravel Scout in 5.4 and it worked beautifully.

Hi,

I think it could be usefull for non english people to use langs resources instead of plain text, In this way, it will no longer be necessary to modify source code to change messages text.

Thanks,
Regards.

Is it possible to utilise laravel scout to make forum posts searchable?

How do i customise Chatter ? ie remove page header etc ?

When i used it i have some errors with routing so i edit some route in view to be more dynamic
in home view
@section(Config::get('chatter.yields.head')) <link href="{{url('public/vendor/devdojo/chatter/assets/vendor/spectrum/spectrum.css')}}" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="{{url('public/vendor/devdojo/chatter/assets/css/chatter.css')}}" rel="stylesheet"> @stop

Hey,

Thanks for the work on this package.

I was trying to integrate it with mine but after I do a php artisan vendor:publish I do not get any migrations from the package.

When I run php artisan migrate I get Nothing to migrate.

I am running Laravel 5.2.

Is it me doing something wrong? I am supposed to copy and paste the migrations manually?

Thanks!

I am using laravel 5.3
My app.blade.php

When you try to send a post, edit or delete a message receive the same exception:

ErrorException in AuthManager.php line 292:
call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard' does not have a method 'handle'

Laravel 5.2 and for auth use Sentinel.

Is anyone using the JSON only views? There are no links to them in the app, but they are there. Are they for an API or something? Should we be removing them?

any documentation available for the forum to be installed not in another project? just a single install without any other app

i followed your instructions word for word - but getting this error

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 table chatter_discussion has no column named slug (SQL: insert into "chatter_discussion" ("title", "chatter_category_id", "user_id", "slug", "color", "updated_at", "created_at") values (Hello, 2, 1, hello, #b6d40d, 2016-09-19 11:20:27, 2016-09-19 11:20:27)

hi, i can't load vendor asset file app.css , it required by tinymce ,
i have ingrate js and css in app.layout and , but this plugin file is nested , any solution and thanks.

Hello,

Based on this issue, it would be nice if the ChatterServiceProvidercould copy the views into the resources/views/vendor directory. Then, customization would be easier to handle.

If you agree, I can make a PR.

i add some codes in ChatterPostController.php destroy funtcion

if(!Auth::guest() && (Auth::user()->id == $post->user_id)){
            $post->delete();
            $count_post = Post::where('chatter_discussion_id',$post->chatter_discussion_id)->count(); /*added*/
            $discussion = Discussion::find($post->chatter_discussion_id);
            $chatter_alert = array(
                'chatter_alert_type' => 'success',
                'chatter_alert' => 'Successfully deleted response from the ' . config('chatter.titles.discussion') . '.'
                );
            if($count_post<=0){
                Discussion::find($post->chatter_discussion_id)->delete();
            }/*added*/
            return redirect('/' . config('chatter.routes.home') . '/' . config('chatter.routes.discussion') . '/' . $discussion->slug)->with($chatter_alert);

        }

Right now, you can designate a "parent" category for categories, but there should be a visual indication of subcategories in the categories list. It's possible that the CSS for subcategories could simply add some margin or padding on the left, so they are indented from the list.

Hi,
Thanks for your great package, I have installed the package and everything is well. How can I add more categories for forum discussions? Is there any simple way or we should add them manually to the database.

Thank's :)

I got this error when i do php artisan vendor publish

  [League\Flysystem\FileNotFoundException]
  File not found at path: 016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_categories_table.php

I installed Chatter into a fresh install just like the video and it worked like a charm. Confident, I then tried to install it into an existing project (5.3). Everything worked again without errors like the video except when I go to mysite/forums, my exisiting homepage reloads as if there is no /forums route.

Please suggest ways to debug since the forum is beautiful and very simple to administate.

Thanks,
Jon
