At the moment there is no indication of users preparing a message in the chat. This means that users often "talk at each other".
We want to add the possibility of getting notified via a small message in the chat window, right above the input text field.
It would say, for example:
Sara is writing...
or in a group chat with several people writing at the same time:
Sara, Ole, Søren are writing...
The purpose of this feature is to support the turn-taking rhythm of a good conversation.
The display of the notifications should be managed on two levels (suggestion - ideas welcome!):
Site-wide via standard Drupal permissions:
A new permission should be defined "Manage the "User is writing" notification".
Feature should be on by default for the counselors and coordinator roles, but off for anonymous users.
On a per-chat basis, in the UI:
A checkbox should be added next to the "Press ENTER to send" checkbox, see attached img. Feature should be turned on by default for counselors and coordinators.
