Group Chat Changes

pichalite

@sanatisharif group chat is not available in 0.9.3. Your issue might be something else and @exodo is talking about something else completely different.

@pichalite

clone from master branch:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
./nodebb upgrade

lock at these images please:

pichalite

@sanatisharif you are using master branch not 0.9.3. Master branch is expected to have issues and is not recommended for production.

pichalite

@julian master branch does not display the warning anymore in ACP?

sanatisharif

@pichalite how to downgrade our forum to nodebb 0.9.3 ?

pichalite

@sanatisharif did you make a backup before you upgraded? If not I believe you are out of luck and have to wait for a fix.

1.0.0?..
Don't forget, minor releases can't introduce breaking changes anymore.

Group chat is only available on master not 0.9.3 as @pichalite mentioned. I just commited some fixes to master, you also need latest persona, let me know if you are still seeing issues after updating to those. For production wait for 1.0.0 if you want group chat.

I can't find that hash in the nodebb repo

@Kowlin For example it's easier to create a private chat with a group of 15 people and downvote whoever says something that we don't like. Or they can also spoil a topic... There are people with too much imagination, believe me xD

sanatisharif

I think nodebb team make chat group like Telegram group chat, and this is good!

Just merged the group-chat branch into master, it will be available in our next release which will most likely be 1.0.0.

@baris
I run this commands:

git commit -a // for commit language file change!
git pull origin master
./nodebb upgrade

after these, output of git rev-parse HEAD is:

Thanks for all the effort you guys put into NodeBB, looking forward to this update.

@exodo any reason you want a option to disable it?

Maybe not a disable, but instead make a max participant value. If the forum admin sets it to 2, then it would be no different than now.

I really want the feature. I cannot count the number of times I have had a chat going and then had to either backfire things to another person, or take it to another medium (Skype/hangouts) in order to get a group chat going.

This would be still better, if it's set to 2 is a chat. If you have some kind of trouble you can try adjusting the value to 6, 5, 4, 3... or eventually 1.
