Hi @gdpelican,

This is an elegant, beautiful plugin! Thank you!

Two questions:

1. Are group chats private to members of that group?
2. When opening a chat, could the default behavior be to open the chat to the _last_ chat (instead of the first, and then scrolling down to see the latest?)

I may be misunderstanding how Babble works. I very much appreciate your excellent work on this tool.

Hello!

I have a message that I cannot find. When the chatbox is closed, it shows 1 message. When I open it, I can’t find anything.

Hey all! Thanks so much for this plugin - currently excitedly waiting for it to be installed. 😄 Quick question - is it possible to turn Babble on/off depending on the user group? For example, if we wanted this feature to be available for staff only, would that be feasible?

Yes, only people who have access to a particular group will be able to see chats for that group. It’s very feasible (in fact a primary use case I think) to turn babble on only for admins or moderators, for instance.

@outofthebox The behaviour _should_ be to scroll to the last message in the chat, but perhaps that’s not happening in some instances? Can you identify when it fails to scroll? Maybe there’s an error in the console about it?

Hell Team

Is it possible to add a text ‘Chat’ or change the icon to something like this

Hello everyone,

I’m so new to Discourse (2 hours ago got my first interaction).  
Maybe this is duplicate but I couldn’t find an answer, I need to create a Live Chat support for a Community Tool (my preference right now Discourse), I found the Babble Plugin but I don’t know how to make it work as a HelpChat.

Can anyone help me, or should I start thinking of developing the plugin?

Best regards,  
Ibrahim Vasija

Hi @gdpelican,

Is it possible for new messages in Babble to:  
A) Generate a notification in Discourse’s notification window (or)  
B) Generate an email to users watching the associated Category

In general, I’m wondering how to create more buzz/clarity/engagement around chat. People don’t want to miss messages / have FOMO, so feeling like they will definitely be notified of new chats would help with adoption. (We are using this on our intranet). I welcome your guidance and thoughts.

Try pulling up your javascript console, or alternatively visiting `<your_instance>/logs` if you have access to that, to see what error might be being thrown there 🙂

What location would I be looking for in \<your\_instance\>/logs is that in the discourse directory? And I’ll take a look now at the javascript console

Sorry, I should have been more clear; visiting

```plaintext
https://<your_instance.com>/logs

```

will spit out a list of errors thrown by your app, which will likely have some information about your error.

Sorry if this is too big of a log. I’ll delete it if its not allowed.

Sure thing, thanks for the update. Would you happen to have an ETA on how long you might take till the next update?

@gdpelican Hi.  
We experience the same problem as described [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/87297/155). When a user sends a direct message to another user - there is no notification marker appears next to the nickname. So when I am looking at the user list, I cant guess who sent me a msg.  
There should be little circles like that. How to enable them? Thanx.
