xF2 Add-on [BS] Real time chat 1.5.0

Better integration with AI Bots​

Support for private messages: Now if a bot is contacted in a chat with the /pm command, it also replies to private messages (in chat).
(Tuning) Respond in PM only: If this option is enabled, bot messages will be visible only to the author of the trigger message.

Better integration with AI Bots​

(Tuning) Streaming mode: if this option is enabled, the bot will type a message in real time, as in the web version of ChatGPT.
Fixed: Bot's typing status is now displayed until the bot sends a message.
Bot settings for chat have been moved to a collapsible block.

Updated design ​

A new user-friendly design has been implemented. Now it is convenient to use the chat from any screens. The new design also attracts with its modernity and simplicity.

Integration with AI Bots ​

Now you can chat with bots based on ChatGPT in live mode right on your forum.
Flexible permissions for groups are included for this feature.

Improved chat history ​

In history, the design has been updated. Now it is more readable.
Now the message link redirects to the desired chat history page and highlights the message. This will bring clarity, as the user will be able to see the context in which he was mentioned.

Fix issues ​

.fixed:

.changes:

• Added a new type of server communication with the client. Long polling.
  • This type is a bit slower than web sockets, but the chat will still be in real time.
  • This type does not require additional configuration. You just need to specify the maximum duration of the request.
    • I advise you to set 15-25 seconds.
  • This type loads the server more than web sockets.
  • There is the possibility of developing new adapters for the exchange of information between users (for example, redis or memcache instead of a database)
• Added style properties for some elements
• Updated depencies
