Group Chat Changes

[henrywright]

@baris you rockstar! This is such a killer feature!

[Kowlin]

@sanatisharif I can see that working out to be honest.

[julian]

It's been quite a long time in coming I guess @baris just needed some of that fresh Turkish air to inspire him.

[henrywright]

@julian have you guys thought about doing something like nodechat.org? This feature is so killer, you could easily make a successful sister project

[djcyry]

WoW ..nice !! nodeBB rullz

[exodo]

Nice. I guess many people will like this. I hope it can be disabled also.

[Kowlin]

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

[a_5mith]

I'm assuming each person only sees posts from after they're added to the room?

Perhaps @psychobunny needs to work some of his "-user- was added to the room" magic between posts.

Looking good @baris.

[julian]

Not even 12 hours after posting, @baris is getting feature creeped like mad Poor guy..

[Kowlin]

@julian I'm still waiting for the hidden features @psychobunny is releasing sooner or later,

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.

Simple. I have seen many scenarios where group chats killed forum activity.

[sanatisharif]

@exodo Like our forum, group chat cause restarting nodebb forum ( 0.9.3 )!

[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.

[sanatisharif]

@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.
