Emcomm Applications- General

Hi,

I have applied this patch to my raspberry pi in order to run meshchat without the need of having meshchat installed on my AREDN node.
It will use the web UI of the node to fetch the list of the other meshchat nodes.

K7FPV, what is your though about that?
I know it is less robust to html changes in the AREDN nodes and it increases the load on the node web interface, but I find it prefereable to running meshchat on the AREDN node because it runs out of RAM.

This version is feature complete, just need to find remaining bugs.

Detailed information and installation instructions can be found here:

**** Action Script support is now ready for testing. More info here: http://www.trevorsbench.com/mesh-chat-action-scripts/ ****

I've compiled a list of fixes for a meshchat v1.1 release:

Truncate channel names to a reasonable length to prevent display issues
Raspbian Stretch support
Error Sending Message: Could not get Lock
List files in alphabetical order

I think there are a few more problems I missed. I you know of any others please post to this thread.
 

We here in the Sarasota county area of Florida think the mesh chat is a great idea but are having issues with the screen format and would like to see some improvements to the application.
First the screen issues. Attached is a screen capture and you can see the issues with fields overlapping fields and the Send button almost gone behind the Messages field. Some of us can not see the Send button at all! The author Trevor has been contacted several times without any reply.
