How to alternate news in the chat ?

News allows you to display special infos in your chat. You can set news at certain date/time, you can set the interval and associate a news to a room.

But you could not alternante news: imagine that scenario. You have 3 news whose content is “Here is news 1”, “Here is news 2 “, “Here is news 3” and you would like to display randomly one of these 3 news every 3 minutes.

The solution is to create 1 singe “big” news and separate the news with the character |

In our case the content of the news would be:

Here is news 1|Here is news 2|Here is news 3

That way the chat will pick up randomly one part (separated by | ) and display it into the chat.

Better chat news management

We have improved the news management system. You can set the time of the day when the news will be displayed.

news 1: between 12:30pm and 14:30pm
news 2: between 16:30pm and 18:30pm

You can also setup the frequency in minutes of each news
ex : news 1 will be displayed every 5 minutes.

Modal important news

For important news, you can also set up a modal news that will be displayed in a modal window when you enter the chat. This news will be displayed only once (ex: to announce an important event)

be displayed in a modal window when you enter the chat. This news will be displayed only once (ex: to announce an important event)
