Title: cRPG message system updated
Post by: Harald on February 18, 2013, 06:35:47 pm
A long overdue update to the messages:

- Multiple recipients
- You can send to clans (the message is send to all leaders)
- You can send the same message to all clan members with a specific rank
- Messages are grouped by conversation

If you find any bugs post them here.

Post by: Harald on February 19, 2013, 04:46:42 pm
1. Make sure you don't have a cache issue (try to reload the page with ctrl+f5 or clear cache in options)
2. Click on new message (http://c-rpg.net/?page=messagesinbox#!?page=messagesnew)
3. Click in the recipients field if it doesn't have focus and start typing, you will get a dropdown with matching characters, clans or ranks
4. Select an entry by pressing return or click on it
5. Repeat from point 3 until you added all recipients

Very nice, thank you.

One thing I noticed missing though, before in the sent message archive you could see a little scroll next to a message that hadn't been opened yet.  That was a good feature especially for strat.

I think that Delete option doesn't work. I tried on Chrome and Mozilla and nothing happen. To delete you must enter single conversation, in this case it works, overall not. Also check box for all messages ("select all") would be a good improvement.

First of great message update (definitely an improvement)

However, I do have one complaint. Why is it that who ever you want to message it is always the last name to come up? You have to type the whole name in most cases for it to even show as an option.

I'm the only person in my clan whos name begins with a V therefore by the time I've (or someone else has) wrote Phalangite_V I should be the first name on the list, yet I don't even show when I've wrote Phalangite_Vermilio

Obviously I've tried many other names and this is a re-occuring issue

Strange, looks like the search is putting too much weight when a single word (the clan tag) matches and ignores the others / your name is too far down the list (result is limited to 10 entries). The exact match doesn't work because it ignores the _ (handled like a space). As workaround just search for your name without the tag.
Title: Re: cRPG message system updated
Post by: Vermilion on April 14, 2013, 01:13:28 am
Yeah, that works a lot better.

Looks like the word recognition far superior to character recognition, if this could be altered I personally think it would be beneficial.

Also on a sort of side note there's no error leeway. One character out and the name won't appear. Don't know if it would be possible to add some sort of "did you mean" style system.
Though I can imagine adding some sort of leeway on characters may cause more problems..

what i believe to have witnessed several times.

You put in a name and the search gives you not only existing names, but Names from before someone made a  Name change. Can someone confirm that?

No it doesn't. I typed my old name and it didn't appear.

search for Ronald Mellisandro, he told me that a few of those had been name changed former Names.

Harald can you message explicitly also to alts or STF characters or only to the main character? I guess it would end up in the same email box, but it may explain some of the search results i got.
Title: Re: cRPG message system updated
Post by: Harald on April 18, 2013, 03:40:18 pm
Each char has its own inbox. I need to check name changes, it might be possible they show up while the request is open because of the way they are handled and/or this is old data.
Title: Re: cRPG message system updated
Post by: Vermilion on April 18, 2013, 11:06:37 pm
Yep you sure can message alts and STF .. you can message yourself if you want..

I know I have messaged my alts, SFT's and myself... comes in handy if you switch between computers as much as I do.
Title: Re: cRPG message system updated
Post by: kinngrimm on April 19, 2013, 05:55:23 pm
is there a way for sending a message to a bunsh of people without selecting everyone singlhandedly.

f.e. i want to send the same message to each of my clan mates.

copy&paste a list of player names, either way sepparated by of comma/space/linefeed

and/or

safe the recipients, so later on i could do it without copy&paste but by just selecting a group of guys i defened earlier.

In recipients use "rankX" (x=1 to 10, depending on what rank u want to send, ex. rank10 sends to leaders) or "rankX-Y" (ex. rank1-10 sends to all members).

nice i will try that

Post by: Vermilion on May 11, 2013, 03:06:14 pm
Can't seem to delete multiple messages. I click the boxes of several messages (either in inbox or archived) then click delete at the top and nothing happens. I can delete individual messages by opening them and using the delete there, but this is a long winded process.


Is this just me or is anybody else having this issue?

upvoted for your awesome avatar harald :D

but anyway, could you take a look at the adding recipients?
when you start typing a name it has a very weird way to decide wich name you are trying to write:

Yep chrome here as well


@ no_rules - yeah that's the same issue I was talking about on the page before this one.. If you type "rules" you get a much better results. The system gets far too focused on the first word and ignores the 2nd, 3rd etc. which is quite often a clan tag.
