Hello Everyone,

I'm seeking suggestions for implementing a pop-up screen feature for users. My aim is to open a window on each user's screen to display individualized content. It could resemble a message box but should persist on their screen until they opt to close it. Essentially, I'm looking for a private message-like display that appears directly on their screen rather than as a typical notification.
You may have some advice on changing the private message feature, implementing something, or APIs.

I would appreciate any ideas you have on this matter.

Best,
Thank you!

3.0 will have a plugin sdk, and there is a custom pop window planned for this release.

Doing it now in 2.X is more difficult.   you could add javascript ( in html5 headers)  that looks at the username in the html5 client and fetches the data on join.  if you need just text you could push a private chat to each user server side

Interested in the use case and detailed requirements.

regards,
Stephen

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for getting back to me.
My idea is to allow moderators to show a pop-up screen to specific users without asking them.
The main idea is close to the private chat, but I was considering the possibility of pop-up screens.
For now, I will use a chatbox. 
In the future, if someone has an interest in this topic, I am open to help and talk more about it.

Best Regards,
