 Many thanks for the explanation sylvanaar. 😀

first of all thanks for this addon.. im using it for many years now.. i have an issue though these days.. all of the sudden when i type a msg and i try to use left or right directional keys to edit something it does not move anymore.... is there any thing i can try to fix it? thanks in advance :)

Not sure if the addon is causing this, but the font size in my editbox has changed and is now different than my chat font size. Mildly annoying! Any ideas on how I can change the size of the editbox text?

Noticing same.

 Good to know it's not just me then. Hopefully someone can help.

I went back to 3.7.5.0 for now (Jan 26 2020 version). Edit box font issue "fixed."

In reply to slargy767:

 Same problem here. Reverting

In reply to sylvanaar:

I think that addressed it.   Thank you!

In reply to sylvanaar:

 Lovely stuff. Thanks for that.

Special characters still break the font styling in the chat window. How long has this been an issue for?

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to add a temporary community channel in the sounds tab in order to be able to play sounds when a message is in that chat, in the  "incoming" section. Is this possible? Unfortunately I only see the normal channels, but not the new created ones... Thanks!

To clarify more, I have a community linked to a chat window, like the Looking For group channel, I added a community channel as chat window. 
I see options for the looking for group and general in the Sounds/Custom Channels subtab, but I don't see any other channel nor a way to add it (though in the code it seems to suggest you could add a custom channel if you wanted to). 
Maybe there is something I can setup, even if I had to touch any of the files, I have no idea, but would be great to be able to set these sounds specifically for this community channel I have added.
Thanks!

This is the part of the code I think it suggests for adding sounds to custom channels:

L = {L = { ["Sounds"] = { ["A module to play sounds on certain chat messages."] = true, ["Add a custom channel"] = true, ["bn_whisper_desc"] = "Sound for %s Battle.Net whisper messages", ["bn_whisper_name"] = "Battle.Net Whisper", ["Custom Channels"] = true, ["group_lead_desc"] = "Sound for %s raid leader, party leader or dungeon guide messages", ["group_lead_name"] = "Group Leader", ["guild_desc"] = "Sound for %s guild messages", ["guild_name"] = "Guild", ["incoming"] = true, ["Incoming Sounds"] = true, ["officer_desc"] = "Sound for %s officer channel messages", ["officer_name"] = "Officer", ["outgoing"] = true, ["Outgoing Sounds"] = true, ["party_desc"] = "Sound for %s party messages", ["party_name"] = "Party", ["Play a sound for a certain channel name (can be a substring)"] = true, ["raid_desc"] = "Sound for %s raid or battleground group/leader messages", ["raid_name"] = "Raid", ["Remove a custom channel"] = true, ["Reset settings"] = true, ["Restore default settings and resets custom channel list"] = true, ["Sound selection for incoming chat messages"] = true, ["Sound selection for outgoing (from you) chat messages"] = true, ["Sounds"] = true, ["whisper_desc"] = "Sound for %s whisper messages", ["whisper_name"] = "Whisper", }}

Starts at line 79 in the Sounds.lua file.

Thanks a lot for looking into this!! 

Let me know if you need testing on this, I am willing to help!

In reply to sylvanaar:

 Btw, I went into your github folders, found the service you changed, and copied it into my addon folder, it works, I can see the channels, however, though I have assigned "Heart" as the sound, it does not play it whenever I receive or I send messages to that community.
Maybe I jumped too fast to see the change, and you have something else to modify, in any case, I tried to test it, hope it helped.
Just in case, this community has 2 sub-groups, I have added 1 of this sub groups into the chat window and is the one I am looking to "hear".

edit - 3 hours later - So, I checked again and again, and it identifies the ID of the community, which I guess is correct, however, it has the ID number of the community, and still the sound is not being played. I wonder if it can "listen" to it, or should it be converted to something else, I mean, lookingforgroup works just fine, but the communities have "community:98765489758:1" (for example) , I wonder if that humber is no appropriate for the listener api used for the "normal" channels... just a thought, I hope I am not confusing you.

In reply to sylvanaar:

 To the sounds.lua file, in the core function sections, i have added the following:

elseif msgtype == "COMMUNITIES_CHANNEL" then   

     print("channel: "..msgtype );     

     local chan = string.lower(message.ORG.CHANNEL)  

     print ("chan: "..chan.." - event: "..event);     

     for cname, value in pairs(self.db.profile.customlist) do       

               print ("cname: "..cname.." - value: "..value);       

               if strlen(cname) > 0 and chan == cname:lower() then         

                     self:PlaySound(value)       

               end     

     end

To undestand better what is going on, and what I can attest is that chan brings the text of the channel, while what has been set in the self.db.profile.customlist is the "COMMUNITY:123123231:1" - ID - of the channel. They do not match, so what is missing here is a way to match the values... 
I will keep researching to see if I can help on this one =)

In reply to sylvanaar:

 Ok, found a solution, I am sure is not the best solution, and you surely will be able to make it better... 
1- I changed  "chatsections.lua" (in the Services subfolder), and to the SplitMessageSrc & SplitMessageIdx added this, right after "PRE" 

COMM_CHAN = "",

& 
"COMM_CHAN",

respectively. this way it could be mentioned as message.ORG.COMM_CHAN, the undesired effect (but useful anyways) is that it adds the comm_chan info before the channel name, to the channel, everytime anyone sends a message to it. IT is useful in the way that the service channelapi, for selecting the custom channels and setting them a specific sound, brings the channel as "COMMUNITY:1234567:1"instead of "My Community - General Chat", where the message.ORG.CHANNEL brings the "My Community - General Chat" and not the "COMMUNITY:1234567:1", which is the reason they do not match.
Then, in this same file I changed the bit of code starting with: 
elseif chatGroup == "COMMUNITIES_CHANNEL" then

      local starpos, endpos = string.find(arg4, ".")      
      local starpos, endpos = string.find(arg4, ".")            

      s.cC = "["         

      s.Cc = "] "  

      -- for some reason the starpos must be a +2 to take out whatever is before . 

      -- since the community name shows as "7.  COMMUNITY:1234567:1" 

      local comm_chan = string.upper(string.sub(arg4, starpos + 2))  

      -- also took out all spaces to make sure had none

      s.COMM_CHAN = comm_chan:gsub("%s+", "")         

      s.CHANNEL = _G.ChatFrame_ResolvePrefixedChannelName(arg4):match("%d%.%s+(.+)")

      So a community channel will have - previous to the message itself - "COMMUNITY:1234567:1 [7. My Community - General Chat]"

2- The other change I did was on file Sounds.lua (insisde modules subfolder).
    Inside:
    function module:Prat_PostAddMessage(info, message, frame, event, text, r, g, b, id)

    After the "question" of if msgtype = channel.. and before the current else...

    if msgtype == "CHANNEL" then    

         ...

    elseif msgtype == "COMMUNITIES_CHANNEL" then     

        local chan = message.ORG.COMM_CHAN     

        for cname, value in pairs(self.db.profile.customlist) do

              -- now both values, chan and cname are in upper.        

              if strlen(cname) > 0 and chan == cname then         

                  self:PlaySound(value)       

              end     

        end   

    else    

         ...

Probably best would be to have the original message.ORG.CHANNEL populated in the options to setup the sounds, and then no need to add the COMM_CHAN to the message bit. But I did not know how to do that ,how to retrieve the same name rather than the community:ID ... this is the first time I look into and change code in any addon... sorry about yours being the 1st =(

In any case, I hope this helps in order to understand and fix the issue for which the sound is not playing.
Thanks again!
