arturdev / somessaging Goto Github PK

Hi, Can you please help in adding a user name above or below the user image or wherever its fits good.

Thanks in Advance

First of all thank you for this good component, however it doesn't feet into some of my needs. There's a datasource method, - (NSTimeInterval)intervalForMessagesGrouping to group the messages. I've doubt that its not working upto the mark.

For e.g.

- (NSTimeInterval)intervalForMessagesGrouping {
    return (24*60*60); //24 hours grouping
}

However, this isn't working with my case.

I'm sending a message at 23:58pm (today's date) and another message at 00:05am (tomorrow's date) then it'll not show grouping for the message.

I'm not sure how I can edit this and show messages in a day group.

For e.g.
for each unique dates for messages there'll be a group.

Any one have done this with SOMessaging before?

P.S. I'm using pod version of SOMessaging in my app. I think making changes in some classes will discard my changes in future if its pod will get update.

I am having problems using this with core data fetchedResultsController would be great if you could help me out.

The problem is that the It needs an NSArray of SOMessage objects. I dont like the idea of converting fetchedResultsController to NSArray because I think when I try to reload new message obviously it will have to convert each time and if the array already has data it will crash. Any Ideas?

Hi,

I work in app who using this library. Past week Apple rejected the app because of this selector. Apparently this selector is the same of one iOS private API. To fix, I renamed and resubmitted the app, today the app was approved.

(handleMediaTapped:)

Is the UIPanGestureRecognizer in SOMessageInputView only for the behavior where the input view bar ducks down as the user drags the scrollview?

I'm using the SOMessageInputView without the rest of SOMessaging (works pretty well, thanks!) and wanting to omit that behavior. I'll make a pull request at some point that makes it an option, probably just a BOOL property in SOMessageInputView.h.

Would you like, in my pull request, to expose that option in SOMessagingDataSource also? What should this be called, something like "shouldRetractInputViewOnDrag", "dragCanDuckInputBar"?

Note: those settings methods might be better suited for the Delegate protocol instead, that is, if following Cocoa's usual data source / delegate division of labor.

Hi Artur,

Would you add audio message type in future?

I'm getting to the SOMessagingViewController through a push segue, so I have a navigation controller at the top. How do I get the table view size to consider that?

Scrolling in type 4 is not smooth. I am feeling jerky Scrolling in iOS 8 simulator

Thank you for publishing this library, the iOS community definitely needs such a comprehensive chatting UI.
Thanks again.

---Hi I need you help ! i used it ,but i am in trouble ! i need delete chat messages ,how to do this……^^

Can you update CocoaPods so SOMessaging 1.1 can be installed via CocoaPods?

The scrolling is not at all smooth. I've updated most of the things myself but it's hardly making any difference.
Can you help me, what can I do or what changes do I need to make on the current library to make it better?

Hi all,
I have met a bug that sometimes may happen sometimes may not when calling [receiveMessage:].

I perform an async request to server to get a list of messages of 50 items. And I use a for loop to call [self receiveMessage:message];, and then an exception occurs as follows:

2014-08-02 17:37:08.157 Foyo[3355:4607] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '-[UITableView _contentOffsetForScrollingToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:]: row (25) beyond bounds (25) for section (0).'

Anyone could help me?

Hi all,

I send a message of Chinese characters more than 16 words in utf8. It is fine to see that the whole string is recorded in the database. However, when it is displayed in the table cell, only one line is displayed, all others is cut and is not displayed any more. I think it is a bug; however, I cannot find where the problem is.

Anyone can help me? Thank you very much!

How to put XMPP CoreData NSArray to SOMessages ?

Hi @arturdev, How can i use it in project using Swif

Hi when i got message it is scrolling to Bottom. I observed RefreshMessages in SOMessagingViewController. Because of this method it is showing like that so i just remove that method. i am not receiving any messages now and also faced Exception below index value

• (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
  {
  CGFloat height;
  id message = self.conversation[indexPath.section][indexPath.row];
  int index = (int)[[self messages] indexOfObject:message];
  height = [self heightForMessageForIndex:index];
  return height;
  }
  here index is showing different where i am missing is there any other approach to achieve this

Is this possible? Would be awesome if this can be achieved! Great open source repo!

@arturdev
I wanted to know that how did you set the position of cell as per the fromMe parameter. Like if fromMe is YES then cell gets positioned to right, so how do you set the x co-ordinate? I saw the ballonImage and textview are all positioned at 0,0 which they take relative to cell. Correct me if I am wrong.
I want this because I want to have a new cell which is centered unlike right or left.

When I try to run the app.. why?

-[ContainerVC my_shouldAutorotate]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xb460d10

How do I add an extra view at top just below navigation bar. The messages should be follow this view. Or can I load the entire thing in a different view.

How to put ChatHistory into SOMessages Type.

I want to implement a group chat using SOMessaging, Will it be possible??
Is it compatible for multiple user?

The cocoapod is not up to date with the Github project. The issue of the 0 section is not fixed on the cocoapod.

@arturdev I see the tableView getting covered by navigation bar, because of this i can't see the top most chat. Any help as to how to resolve this?

It crashes in this line:

NSInteger row = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section] - 1;

It happens when there are no messages in the chat and when the input field is empty.

I use AMSlideMenu (left menu).

When you put SOMessaging controller as Content view (through Navigation controller where SOMessaging is a root view) the left gesture over SOMessaging controller does not present left menu.

but it is not showing any modifications. can any body please help me how to add border to text view
like below

Error while drawing the bubbles.. no showing any bubble but showing text.

I am unable to set values to SOMessage Object (comment for my project) from my View Controller file. It gets set to nil. Here is the source code -->

//
// Message.swift
//

import UIKit

class Message: SOMessage {

// @synthesize attributes,text,date,fromMe,media,thumbnail,type;

override init() {
    super.init()
    self.date = NSDate()
}  

}

//
// CommentsVC.swift
//

import UIKit

class CommentsVC: SOMessagingViewController {

var dataSource: NSMutableArray!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.loadMessages()
}

func loadMessages(){

    var comment: Message = Message()
    comment.text = "HI ! This is Sparta !!!"
    comment.fromMe = false
    comment.type = SOMessageTypeText
    comment.date = NSDate()
    dataSource.addObject(comment)

}

override func intervalForMessagesGrouping() -> NSTimeInterval {
    return NSTimeInterval(0)
}

override func messages() -> NSMutableArray {
    return dataSource
}

override func configureMessageCell(cell: SOMessageCell!, forMessageAtIndex index: Int) {

    var message: Message = self.dataSource[index] as! Message;

    println(message.fromMe)

    if (message.fromMe != false) {
        cell.contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 3.0, 0, 0) //Move content for 3 pt. to right
        cell.textView.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    } else {
        cell.contentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 3.0); //Move content for 3 pt. to left
        cell.textView.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor();
    }
}

override func messageInputView(inputView: SOMessageInputView!, didSendMessage message: String!) {

    var msg: Message = Message()
    msg.text = message
    msg.fromMe = true

    self.sendMessage(msg)
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}

If you call becomeFirstResponder for tableView this cause crash because inputView as UIResponder interface expects it to be.

I've tested 3rd party keyboard (swiftkeyboard) with SOMessaging and it breaks the UI. If I've selected switftkeyboard then the frame of the message input view is not longer proper.

Hi, all,

I am developing a chat app to support message bubbles appear randomly of the left margin in the table cell. I find that in SOMessageCell, the kBubbleLeftMargin and kBubbleRightMargin are defined as a fixed number. I wonder what is the best way to randomly generate these two values to make the messages appear more interesting. Is it in adjustCell?

Thank you very much!

when i init UIAlertView Xcode throw the exception

closed

I added this method to my viewController

• (UIFont *)messageFont
  {
  return [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:14];
  }

Changing the font size which is in default 12 to 14. But then, the text of messages didn't fit to the size of the balloon anymore.
Should I do anything else in order to change the font size?

I want to add an extra view to background containing ImageView and Label when there are no chats i.e. when tableView is empty. And hide it when message data source contains data.

I tried using SOMessageCell's property userImageView to set an image from URL into Chat, but found that its not working, when I do this its not showing up any image even I've a place holder image too.

Please tell me is it possible or not?

P.S. setting cell.userImage directly is working. And I'm using UIImageView+AFNetworking to set image from URL into userImageView.

Thanks in advance!

I am using SOMessagging in my app and its behaving very inconsistent when images and text is showing in same thread. Some times ballonImage is not shown in text as seen in pics. Its clearly seen that text and balloonImage both are not shown but they both exist there and options are appear. Tell me how could i handle it, thanks in advance.
