Hi Devs,
Is there a way to make a chat room "read only" for certain users, so these users can read the chats but not respond to them?
This is useful for rooms that are used for broadcasting messages.
Thank you, JJ.
Unfortunately not at this time -- chats were not really meant to be used that way so there's no changing the behaviour to achieve what you want...
However, in your case, could a stickied header widget not work?
Thank you @julian . I never heard of that. I'll go do some research. JJ.
event:chats.receive https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/src/client/header/chat.js#L22
Thank you all for the responses and offering your time, I completely wiped the nodebb db in MongoDB and re-restored it and everything is functioning perfectly again. ☺
@baris great! thank you. 👍
You can find it in the theme you are using. The file is called login.tpl. For example for persona its here. https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/templates/login.tpl#L15
The server sends in the value depending on what the ACP setting is set to. If you only allow login by username that value changes to Username etc.
