Chat+ Customization

Please see attached screenshot, I was wondering if I can write a Title with my logo right on top of the door login and facebook icons.. if so, how do I do that ?  it doesn't matter if I have to do this from the code or from the Admin, just need to know what section/page I need to modify..

Thank you !

 

Hi Morocco. From memory this is done by uploading your favicon's and logo's in the Chat+ back end.

Thanks Micoots! I will check that.. I am pretty much trying to do something similar to what you see on demo.recket at:
https://demo.rocket.chat/home  - as you can see, they have  their logo on top of the Login form & footer at the bottom of the Login Form..
 

if you go through the Boonex github - you can see the changes that Boonex made in which they changed settings to remove a lot of the Rocket.Chat stuff.

I was testing "Desktop Notification" and Rocket.Chat Logo showed up.. Please see attached.. How do I change it to my own Logo ?

I also see rocket.chat icon on the site browser.. see attached.. How do I change that ? 

Can someone provide the direct githup link for Boonex/Chat+ customization.. 

Thanks. 

are you using the development version or the Dolphin edited version?

Good question ! not sure :(

The Boonex team did the installation for me, so I am following their advise so I don't do anything stupid.. and at the same time I am sharing their advise with the community..

In fact, I already tried to hide the Login Form on my chat+ and as result I was not able to login as Admin anymore - because once I do that, the email on Admin D7 had to be the same on Chat+ Admin as well.. I learned the hard way, and now I had to put the Login Form back.. 

ok - I am using the development version. I know Boonex is trying to make this easy, but by changing a lot of the default settings and removing much of the Rocket.Chat branding - it does cause a bit of confusion.

First - it looks like it is a Boonex product - which it is not, which leads to a bunch of questions. When technically - all of these questions should be directed at the Rocket.Chat team - as they are the ones putting this together and upgrading.

Second - it does not give us a chance to see what is going on and what items were changed. At least ith the development version - I can see where the logos and images are at, and can play around until I found how to change them. With the edited version done by Boonex, since these items are removed, it also removes an opportunity for learning more about this Chat.

So - nothing about the Boonex team - but I prefer using the development version. Which leads me to create a new post on changes in V 25 - hopefully Boonex does decide to upgrade - there are a bunch of new features that might make this Chat extra nice.

I already posted couple questions on Rocket.Chat support channel, it has been 48hrs and nobody has responded.. One simple question I asked is where to find upgrade Docs.. However, I noticed they are only responding to issues and errors from the community, basically they are using the community as Guinea Pigs to test their product for them.. I was very disappointed..

Having said that, I will definitely count on Boonex team to help us with Chat+ questions & issues regardless if this is someone else product.  Boonex has taken the decision to integrate the Chat+ withing D7 suite, so they have a responsibility to support the product moving forward..  In fact, I've read some  feedback from Mr. Boon's - he said that he is committed in supporting Chat+ even if Chat+ goes out of business or got acquired by other company.. I do believe what he said and I will count on Boonex team to keep up the good work 

i posted a link in another post to the documentation for Rocket.Chat. it explains everything - for the most part - and hopefully makes it easier to understand.

Back to you Prof - The other feature I like to use is to allow embedding videos & sounds only, but pictures can be uploaded.. I was wondering how to do that..

Thx.

not totally sure of the question - but here is what I did:

see image

if the video or audio file or image is on your computer - simply drag it to the chat message box. A popup will appear asking if you want to upload - click yes. now - .wmv video files do not work - but mp4s and mp3s do

No, I don' want videos from iPhone or from the computer to be uploaded to my Chat.. only embedding Videos from youtube URLs

Also, your file upload is slightly different than mine, I think because I am using an older version than yours..

Below is what I have on { Accepted Media Types } but I don't have { storage type } - see attached..

image/*,audio/*,application/pdf,text/plain,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

I removed everything and only kept { image/*,application/pdf,text/plain } 

Also, I am assuming the chat content does get purged after period of time.. But I can't find where this can be set, lets say I want to keep the data for only 2 months and then it gets cleared out automatically.. is that doable ?

 I am using v25

i have not seen anything to designate how long messages shall be stored for - so guessing they stay until you delete the mongodb database.

 i am allowing all file types for now - only way to see which ones do not work.

Ok, we are on the same page.. Soon I will create a mongodb script to purge data based on a date. I will share the script once I test it..

The other concern I have about the purge is not all channels will be created on the same time, I will need to purge data based on a channel ID, this way not all the channels will get purged at the same time, otherwise, the user community can get upset about this.. I guess more planing needs to be done before a purge is applied..

i rather like the idea of nothing being deleted. i personally have lots of times where i need to see what i said to someone or what they said to me - and hate that after a while they disappear.

for youtube urls - just paste the youtube link in the message field

Yes I got youtube & Pix working great.. see attached..

Please see attached.. I am trying to replace the Rocket Logo that you see when you login with my Logo.. 

Right now, I see a link called: {main site} 

that is in the layout section - content - Side Navigation Footer

I tried to drop {mp4} video, but I got a message "media type not supported.."

Here is my setup for Media Types:
image/*,audio/*,application/pdf,text/plain,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document 

not sure how I can add {mp4} media type ?  I tried this format:  application/mp4 but it didn't work..  any idea ? Thx.

since that field means to only allow whats listed, i removed everything to allow everything. I do not know what the mp4 would be. you could try video/mp4 or video/*

If you give them the Keys to the Kingdom so to speak, you are opening a big hole to your server/site for malicious attacks  that's something we need to be extremely aware of when you allow any type of file/pic/video upload.. Nowadays, even an image or pdf can be a virus, nothing will stop them to inject your site with all sorts of viruses.. 

i left it open for now to see what actual file types would upload and play. the only way to find out is for someone to say that they tried to upload something and it didnt work - then i can go from there.

Yes, makes sense while you are testing the process, but I am looking at things for the long term..

In any case, were you able to drop {mp4} videos since you have things open ?

yes - mp4 and mp3s work fine - wmv do not

Just uploaded mp4 on your site - Tennis 4hand shot by Nadal, but I see noting.. please see attached.. not sure if this has to do with your dark bg..

How did replace the {open door} icon with {CVP71} - is that a txt or an icon..

I want to put a txt there to let my members  know that the link is used to login via my site..

Thx.

i did not implement the dolphin connect in mine - i just used the Add custom OAuth and put in the info for my site.
