Forbidden words in private chats

We added a new feature today: you can filter differently forbidden words in public and private chats.

For instance, you can forbid rude words usage in public chat and allow rude words in public chat.

You can still put actions when forbidden word is found: ‘nothing’,’hide’,’kick’,’ban12hours’,’ban24hours’

You can find this new feature in your chat admin panel, under “forbidden words”

Filtering by age

We have added a new filter called “filter by age”. You can enable it from your /chatadmin -> config (“Filter by age”)

filter by age feature

Of course, you need to enable “display ages” so you can use that feature. Age sorting is ascendant only.

ban user

New Ban features

We added 2 new ban features

  1. In roles, we added notAffectedByRudeWords which means that a role (moderator or admin for instance) can use rude words without being censured (or kicked out/banned).
    You can define different actions per rude word like : nothing / hide the rude word / kick out the user / ban the user


  2. When user has been kicked out or banned because of a rude word, we store now this bad word.
    You can get the history and the bad word used in your chatadmin / banned section under field called “sentence”

email

Sending customized emails

Many people asked for the possibility of sending customized emails. The emails are sent when the chat uses the user registration and more precisely:

  • when a new user registers to the chat (register)
  • when an users forgets his password and requests the password (forgotten)

In these 2 cases, you can customize email sending.

If you use JWT or if you use guests only, this feature has no effect at all.Important: You email template can include dynamic fields:

  • {{email}} : the email of the user
  • {{username}} : the username of the user
  • {{password}} : the password of the user
  • {{confirmation}} : this is the Confirmation link : YOU MUST USE THAT in “register” email, so users can click the confirmation link to enter the chat

Ex: Hello {{username}}. Your password is {{password}}


Notice: If you want to include images, all images needs to be remote and starting with https://.
Warning. You cannot use classical HTML for email. You can read more info about html and email.

Who sends the email ?

Our SMTP server sends emails, so our sender is visible ([email protected]), if you want to change the sender (from) email, we need to add your domain name in our white list, and you need to confirm that with a new DNS entry. Since it is a manual process, there is one time fee for it of 20 euros (please contact us if you need that feature)

message

Add an info message per role

We have added a new feature: messageWhenEntersChat per role

The goal of that feature is to add some welcome messages such as : “You are using the chat as guest. Please register to get more features“. This message can be a HTML message. This message is to inform user about his role restrictions or rights.

copyPaste

Paste image into chat

We have added a new feature: you can now paste images (shortcut : CTRL+V) directly into the chat (from the chat input)

This is the same action as choosing an image and uploading it.
You can find that new features in your chatadmin / roles. By default it is enabled for admin, moderator and dj roles.

If you want to disabled that for a role, set timeBeforePasteImageAgain to 0 or set that to number (in milliseconds)

ex: 5000 = users can paste image again after 5 seconds (5000ms = 5s)

Text effects

We have added new text effects per role:

You can now enable or disable per role text effects : go to roles and check “Can use extra CSS for fonts

Once checked, on your chat you will have a new icon in the text bar

When you click that Text effects button, you will get a new modal window:

text effects

When you can choose Neon, Gradient and also change the font name.

Notice that you can still combine that with Bold, Italic or Underlined effects and also with the color picker

Now, you can send some special text effects such as:

Type of of chat in Mobile

We have added a new feature to HTML5 chat that allows to change the type of of chat for mobile: if you use draggable webcam or draggable windows on desktop version, you will notice that for mobile, this is not really user friendly : draggable cams take a lot of space and prevents you to open more than 1 webcam at once.

We have added 1 new tab that regroups 3 different properties for mobile:

My webcam is draggable : should be set to false: that way the cam is small and stays docked into the users list

Type of chat : we recommend wall or vertical wall or zoom: that way cams does not take too much space

Private text opens in new windows: we recommend to set to False : that way private chats will open in tabs and you will have more space
