[WIP] Livechat manager

[sampaiodiego]

I'm finishing the livechat manager page.
This pages will be used livechat managers to configure livechat behaviors.

This is what I have for now:

User management

Department management

Triggers (only one atm)

Installation code

Appearance settings

Looking neat.

I guess this is not included in 0.9 release. I am wondering what steps that I need to do in order to test this?

[sampaiodiego]

hey @skyred you can test it enabling the rocketchat:livechat meteor package in your dev environment.
if you want to test it in production, you'll have to build rocket.chat yourself.. we'll add it to our builds in the next weeks..

[skyred]

I see v0.11.0 is tagged. On the other hand, the docker image is still at v0.9. Using Docker for creating sandboxes for testing is great, but it seems that this project has skipped a few releases on docker?

@skyred -- please make sure you are using this Docker image ... rocketchat/rocket.chat

https://hub.docker.com/r/rocketchat/rocket.chat/builds/

... if you want to explore the latest code instead of tested stable - as you can see, it is updated instantly (2 hours ago)

[skyred]

Interestingly, this gets more confusing. Why does your organization keep two Docker repos?

https://hub.docker.com/_/rocket.chat/
https://hub.docker.com/r/rocketchat/rocket.chat/ (including Dockerfile in the project itself doesn't seem to be a common practice)

[Sing-Li]

It is very common practice for rapidly-moving FOSS projects. Please just browse around at the repositories available at hub.docker.com to see many examples.

Our organization maintains only ONE repository:

https://hub.docker.com/u/rocketchat/dashboard/

We maintain THREE images, for the diverse needs of our global users community:

1. Official - stable, reviewed by Docker committee rocket.chat - in a repository maintained by Docker
2. Latest - stable, tested, latest available off our master branch rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest
3. Develop - absolute latest, for those who need to work with the latest code rocketchat/rocket.chat:develop

See this (and other info available at our wiki) branching strategy details:

https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/wiki/Branches-and-Releases

This is Off Topic. Please post a new ticket if you would like to continue this discussion.

[skyred]

I see your point now. Thanks for the information. I will report it back once I have the chance to test the feature related to this issue.

[sampaiodiego]

so, docker images doesn't have livechat package installed.
I was discussing about this with @engelgabriel .. maybe we should release new images with livechat installed.

[Sing-Li]

😞 True. Perhaps we need the LiveChat edition #1741 even sooner 😁

[skyred]

rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest still uses the built package https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/blob/develop/Dockerfile#L19

I can't find the documentation on this project wiki about building from source. If someone can point me to the documentation, I might be able to build my own docker image for testing.

[sampaiodiego]

@skyred you can follow this steps to build Rocket.Chat from source: here

but, in #1799 I'm adding livechat as default to develop branch. we'll merge it today and test it during the week to release it on master branch in the next week.

[skyred]

I tested the latest develop built. It works well. Three quick comments:

1. showing visitor's name is better than show their username, like guest-1, guest-2,..
2. Images posted on the main window cannot be seen in the live chat.
3. I guess there is no Android Notification yet.
