Dynamic rooms management (updated)

We have added 3 new rules for dynamic rooms. Dynamic rooms are real time created rooms by users (you can enable them in your chatadmin roles panel: can create room)

In your chatadmin config/Chat, you can find now a new select box “When a dynamic room is deleted ?” that has 3 possibles states

  1. creatorLeavesRoom
    The dynamic room is deleted as soon as its creator leaves the room (even if there are people in that room).
  2. noMorePeopleInRoom
    This room is deleted when there is no more people in the dynamic room
  3. creatorLeavesRoomAndNomMorePeopleInRoom
    This room is deleted when creator leaves the room AND there is no more people in this room.
  4. creatorLeavesChatAndNoMorePeopleInRoom
    This room is deleted when creator leaves the chat AND there is no more people in this room.

Notice that a dynamic room can be deleted directly in the chat.
You can define who can delete dynamic room from chatadmin roles:

canDeleteRoom : this role can delete ANY dynamic role (should be reserved to admins or moderators)

candeleteHisRoom : this room can delete only his own room

private webcam

Webcam inside window private chat

When you choose chat type: window, your private chat will open in individual draggable, resizeable windows.

Now you can start an exclusive webcam video chat inside that individual windows: you just need to check the option: “Private tab window has webcam” inside your chatadmin / config / webcam panel

Notice that this webcam is EXCLUSIVE to an user: other users will not be able to watch at you and also, you cannot open many individuals webcams at the same time.

How to sort users by role ?

It is now possible to sort user by role.
ex: you need admin to be displayed before moderators, then users then guests.

In your config panel, choose config, under tab “users” you can now choose: sorting by role-power

Sorting users by role-power

Then you just need to click the role sorting button in your chat and users will be ordered by their roles.

Notice that you can define what role should be displayed in priority: roles have “power” property (you can find that in roles in you chat panel). Ex: admin has role of 9 (high priority) and guest has role of 0 (low priority). You can change these priorities by editing the power field.

signup

How to incite a guest user to register ?

There is a new interesting feature in html5 chat to improve your registration rate. You can now disconnect a role from the chat after N seconds and redirect him to an Url

We think of course about the guets role, than will be disconnected from the chat after N m minutes and will be redirected to the registration page.

You can do that now in roles: there are 2 new properties in your chatadmin / roles panel -> Ads and messages tab

disconnectAfterNSeconds : ex: for 3 minutes, set 180 (180 seconds = 3 minutes)

redirectAfterDisconnection (put full http path like: https://www.rezocoquin.com)

wall layout

The “Wall” layout

We have added a new layout called “wall“.

This layout allows to add camera in the top of the chat with a wrapping feature: when there is no more space for a cam, the new cam goes to the bottom, creating a “wall”.

This layout allows to watch many cams simultaneously without having to scroll or split views.

The WALL layout.

To change the layout of the chat, simply go to your chatadmin panel and choose the layout panel.

The wall layer can be useful for conferences when you need to watch at all participants at the same time.

Sorting

Initially sorting users

You can now decide how your users will appear in your user list.
They can initially be sorted by:

  • None : this is the default state: users will appear by history: the latest ones will be appended to the end of the list
  • username : users will be A-Z sorted by their username
  • webcams: those who have webcams will appear at the top of the lits
  • usernames and webcam : webcams first and then by username

You can set the initial sorting in your Chatadmin panel -> config -> Users Management
