A Shoutbox style plugin for Discourse.

You can view some ongoing discussion about this plugin on Discourse Meta

Check out a live instance of Discourse with Babble installed on it here: http://discourse-babble.com (You'll have to make an account to see the chat)

Edit your web template and add the project clone url. Then, rebuild your web container so that the plugin installs. Check out the official guide for more info.

- git clone https://github.com/gdpelican/babble.git

If you're looking for the previous implementation of full page category chat, you can pull the full-page-chat branch.

- git clone -b full-page-chat https://github.com/gdpelican/babble.git

(caveat emptor: This branch is unmaintained and will not receive updates going forward)

To create a new channel, visit the admin/chats route, select 'Make a New Channel', and create a chat.

You can either create a channel available to a particular category, or one available to a set of groups.

• Babble is now configured to appear as a sidebar, which should result in a better experience overall. You may choose whether it occupies the left or right side of the screen in the settings (On small screens, it will automatically expand to take up the whole screen)
• If you have a custom header, Babble may not play nicely with Discourse's somewhat complicated scrolling behaviour. To account for this, turn on the 'Babble Adaptive Height' setting under /admin/site_settings/category/plugins?filter=babble

Pull requests welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md

Babble is currently available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Russian, Polish, and Korean. If you'd like it translated into your language, let me know! Babble is now on Transifex, which should result in a better translation experience for all.
