Rocket.Chat other features

OK, while playing with this new Chat+, I see a few things that I am quite curious about.

  1. what is a turn server and how/what is it used/used for?
  2. what is a web hook, and would it be possible to pull in chat messages to a dolphin site using a webhook?
  3. what is a CDN prefix and how does it relate to Chat+?
  4. what is a LDAP and how does it relate to Chat+?
  5. would a push gateway allow messages to show like all other notifications (email, facebook, etc)?
  6. What is SAML?

Not to sound like an ass, but - you have given us this nice new chat platform - with no instructions other than how to install and connect a dolphin site. I am very appreciative of this new chat - dont get me wrong. It is just in my nature to play with everything and see what is going on.

There are all of these cool looking things, and I am just wondering if any of these would be beneficial to setup and run on my own servers.

 

Just as a suggestion - if there are settings that will never need to be changed - in order to reduce confusion - would it be possible to just hide these fields. Cause people like me will start messing with them.

My question to you is; how did you insert the background image I seen on your chat?

No, I am not a subscriber to github. I did look at the wiki you linked to, and will admit - I am more confused after looking at it, than I was before. Which is why I asked here. There are terms and coding I am totally unfamiliar with and felt like I was going down a rabbit hole trying to understand. Was hoping someone could give a short summary.

 

In reference to the Background image - check out the /programs/server/app/assets/packages/rocketchat_theme/assets/stylesheets/base.less

 

apparently, this is the stylesheet for the chat. Why couldnt it be in a simple place and easily accessible, not that it took that long to find - just saying.

 

look for the .full-page section and add background-image variables:

 

background-image: url(https://cvp71.com/templates/tmpl_cvp71/images/sys-bg-main.jpg) !important; (same background image for my main site)

 

then in the Chat Admin - Theme section, I had to change the background color to black or #000000

 

 

EDIT: added !important at the end of the background-image

  6. What is SAML?

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traversal_Using_Relays_around_NAT

2.  WebHook is an URL which is called each time some event is happening in the Chat. "pull in chat messages" - It depends upon what events this URL is called and what data is sent.

3. I think it's different domain which is configured to fetch static resources, usually it's the same domain but with different prefix. For example cdn.example.com for example.com domain.

4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol - it's to login to the Chat using LDAP

5. I think this is for the Chat mobile app 

6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Assertion_Markup_Language

Thank you for that - so far, I have figured out how to setup the Push Notifications and it is for mobile devices. By default there is an option to enable desktop notifications as well. I am now looking at how to make push notifications in a dolphin site.

So, with the webhook - it would be possible that when someone typed something in the chat - it could be displayed in a dolphin site? and vice versa?

I think it should be possible to "listen" for messages using WebHook, but to post a message there is REST API
