This update introduces secure local-device image uploads and additional display controls for Chatbox images.
What’s new:
- Members can attach JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP images directly from their devices.
- Supports text with an image or image-only messages.
- Added a compact paperclip attachment icon.
- Moved the paperclip to the right of the Muted users button for a cleaner layout.
- Added separate ACP settings for maximum image display width and height.
- Images preserve their original proportions and remain responsive on mobile devices.
- Uploaded files are stored securely in XenForo’s protected internal-data directory.
- Added a dedicated user-group permission for uploading images.
- Added a configurable upload-size limit from 1–25 MB.
- Images are automatically removed when their messages are deleted, purged or removed through scheduled cleanup.
- Removed the PHP Fileinfo dependency, fixing the “Class finfo not found” error on servers where the extension is unavailable.
- Includes the optional XenForo Resource Manager dependency improvement, allowing Chatbox to install and operate without XFRM.
Default image display size: 640 × 360 pixels.
Upgrade directly over the previous version. Uninstalling first is not required, and existing messages, settings and licensing information are preserved.
Compatible with XenForo 2.3.7 and newer.
