Chat – whatsapp bubbles

I can confirm this happens with numerous links, and to be honest, I believe this theme component is broken.

the link bug was not on my radar but otherwise I think it works great. Agree with others that it would be good if there were an option to toggle it on for desktop too.

@chapoi if you ever get any cycles to fix the link issue that would be hugely appreciated. Thanks so much for making this theme. Makes a big difference.

Hey all,

thanks for the patience. Just a quick update that I’m looking into the missing background and link problems now! Hopefully I’ll have a quick fix.

Okay, it looks like those fixes were not so bad and mainly due to some core changes as I thought.

Both background and (onebox) links should be working again after an update! Let me know if not the case and apologies for the wait time.

I do really appreciate everyone who likes my little passion project :slight_smile:

As for bringing it to desktop, I would love nothing more but it would require a lot more work. So, not on the immediate planning but definitely something I’d like to do!

Hi, @chapoi

I’ve done an update, but it doesn’t seem to have fixed anything. Thank you for trying so far!

Also, it would be awesome for the desktop view!

Hmmm, I got it working on my personal site. Can you check if Discourse itself is also on the latest version?

Hi @chapoi,

I lied, it is now working. Great job!

I haven’t tried a custom background. But can report works in Tests-Passed

Tiktok that way @chapoi

Hi, the layout seems to be broken with the latest discourse, is it possible to get an update that can resolve this?

What’s broken? Here it looks like always, at least when briefly checking it. Do you have a screenshot?

Hi @digitaldominica

Yes, screenshot etc would be nice, including what theme you are using. Will have a look at it

Desktop view would be great. Bubbles make the chat feel more alive so I would not be surprised if this becomes part of core.

Is there a way to remove bubbles from images? Bubbles should be like in text chats and not images and an additional setting to increase image size would be great.

Whatsapp places images in bubbles too, so I’m not planning on changing that atm. Even if I wanted to, it would be quite hacky because there is not something like a message “type” to know when something is an image.

The only thing I could try is to rearrange the layout so the timestamp takes up less space, which looks nicer

The image sizing is the same as in any other theme or the default, so that’s beyond the scope of this component to change.

That sounds logical, so clearing up the space and increasing the image size by a small will actually do the work :))
