When I read this I understood it to mean that only admins can create channels. But I just had a moderator create a channel.

What is going on. Does admin not mean admin user?

It seems to be a typo. Based on the code, the access level has consistently been for staff (admin and moderator). Thanks for pointing out this error! (EDIT: I updated the first post)

Hallo! Ik heb een specifiek gebruiksscenario waarbij ik kanalen zou moeten kunnen aanmaken en gebruikers zou moeten kunnen toevoegen via een API

En vervolgens ook gebruikers aan bestaande kanalen zou moeten kunnen toevoegen via een API

  1. Is dit iets dat mogelijk is met deze plugin?
  2. Zo ja, is er een API-documentatie voor deze plugin waarnaar ik kan verwijzen?

Ik weet dat je gebruikers via API kunt aanmaken. Je zou ze aan een chat kunnen toevoegen door ze toe te voegen aan een groep die toegang heeft tot de chat. Ik zie echter geen methode om de chat zelf via API aan te maken.

I’d like to open or link to a topic with the chat window opens by default in drawer mode on the right hand side, showing the channel of the the topic’s category. Is that possible?

Not out of the box atm, you can have multiple channels for one category too so we would need a more explicit way to decide which one to show.

It would be nice if there is a way to set a channel as the default channel of a category.

And a setting to always display the chat in drawer mode.

Our users have difficulties with switching between the forum and chat.

I think I may have found a bug related to this plugin.

On my forum, https://scarletandblackinsider.com/, when the Discourse Chat plugin is enabled, the post composer box on mobile starts auto-scrolling to the very top of the topic while the user is typing. This causes the text editor to bounce up and down and makes it almost impossible to reply in longer threads.

Key details:

  • Hosted on Discourse standard plan

  • Core is fully up to date

  • Reproduced across multiple fresh themes

  • Reproduced with all theme components disabled

  • Issue immediately disappears when the Chat plugin is disabled

This feels like a scroll or focus handler conflict between the Chat plugin and the mobile composer. Happy to provide any additional testing details if helpful.

The bug was fixed a few days ago. Things should get better after the next update.
