It requires at least one column in the table where you want to embed chat/comment. Additionally, you can use a second column to manage the message author.
(Currently it’s a bit tricky; I update the main column first, which lets Grist update the user column - throw formula - then I read this update and add into the main column the message with the current author).
Very nice! This will be super handy for cooperative work on documents.
Just a quick suggestion: It might be more robust to serialize the data to JSON rather than your custom ¤¤-delimited format.
At the beginning I wanted some thing verry simple that anybody (non coding) can edit if need. But you’re right, JSON is much better, and by the way, I plan to add the message edit feature.
Excactly what I was looking for. Can I treat it like a journaling for every single entry? And can you probably help me to install it? Im pretty new to grist. Would really much appriciate it.
Edit: Using the desktop version. Found the documentation. My goodness this is absolutley amazing.
Love you.
This is a beauté
Just tested and adopted.
Thank you so much!
The only thing is that my name isnt added to the message, whereas i set up the trigger user.name formula and it appears correctly in the column…and it is well mapped… i might have missed something
Hum, I don’t know, when I look at your page, I see that the last messages are named Anonymous, and if I try myself, I also see my message with Anonymous, even if I empty the C column first.
And it’s still working on my example page…
Is it possible that the instance hosted by anct not correctly define user.Name? Is the Name value in your account parameter display the right value?
Any error in the browser console (F12) ?
In the code, I wait that each update on the row is managed by the server before continuing, so I guess it’s not an issue of timing.
Hi, thanks a lot for checking it out! On the ANCT instance the user.Name is working correctly (i did add a column user.Name, and it returned the value, but it wasn’t appearing in the widget row), but…good news, i just re-tested today and it’s working fine now! awesome, thank you
