Public chat:

What it does

• Send a new conversation from a user’s Options → Send message
• Inbox with unread counts in the header
• Optional public chat (/chat) that every member can use
• Notifications when someone messages you

Starting a new DM with the same user always opens a new conversation. Replying inside an existing thread stays in that thread.

Install

composer config repositories.prm-messages vcs https://github.com/smmpanelscripts1/prm-messages
composer require prm/messages:dev-main

Enable Private Messages, then:

php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear
