I was following some code here: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/real-time-messaging-for-meteor-with-meteor-streams--net-33409
To build a chat app. I wanted to add another text input box that also sent items to the chatbox but whenever I press another button a created. In other words there are two input boxes for one chat box.
When I press one button it works, when I press the other button it refreshes the page and removes everything previously in the chatbox. Any help would be excellent.
<!-- Chat Box with chat messages and the input box -->
<template name='chatBox'>
<div id='messages'>
{{#each messages}}
{{>chatMessage}}
{{/each}}
</div>
<textarea id='chat-message'></textarea><br>
<button class='btn btn-primary' id='send'>Send Chat</button>
</template>
<!-- Template for the individual chat message -->
<template name='chatMessage'>
<div>
<b>{{user}}:</b> {{message}}
</div>
</template>
<template name="solBox">
<h3>Your problem is:</h3>
<strong>Write a structure definition in racket for a <em>vector</em> with fields <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>.</strong>
<br>
<br>
<form class="solution">
Solution:
<textarea id='solText'></textarea>
<button class='btn btn-primary' id='solve'>Send Solution</button>
</form>
</template>
//assign collection to the messages helper in chatBox template
Template.chatBox.helpers({
"messages": function(){
return chatCollection.find();
}
});
//generate a value for the 'user' helper in chatMEssage template
Template.chatMessage.helpers({
"user": function(){
if(this.userId == 'me'){
return this.userId;
} else if (this.userId){
getUsername(this.userId);
return Session.get('user-' + this.userId);
} else {
return 'anonymous-' + this.subscriptionId;
}
}
});
//When send chat is clicked add the typed chat message into the collection
Template.chatBox.events({
"click #send": function(){
var message = $('#chat-message').val();
console.log(message);
chatCollection.insert({
userId: 'me',
message: message
});
$('#chat-message').val('');
//add the message to the stream
chatStream.emit('chat', message);
}
});
//Solutionbox stuff
Template.solBox.helpers({
"messages": function(){
return chatCollection.find();
}
});
Template.solBox.events({
"click #solve": function() {
var solution = $('#solText').val();
console.log(solution);
chatCollection.insert({
userId: 'me',
message: solution
});
$('#solText').val('');
solStream.emit('sol', solution);
}
});
chatStream.on('chat', function(message){
console.log(message + "on");
chatCollection.insert({
userId: this.userId, //get the userId of the sender
subscriptionId: this.subscriptionId, //subscription id of the sender
message: message
});
});
solStream.on('sol', function(solution){
console.log(solution + "on");
chatCollection.insert({
userId: this.userId, //get the userId of the sender
subscriptionId: this.subscriptionId, //subscription id of the sender
message: solution
});
});
