Make "Uncategorized" channel *REAL* uncategorized

[lgxz]

The so-called "Uncategorised" channel is indeed a NORMAL channel and has it's own Token.

I modified the server code to send message with uid instead of the channel token. for example,
https://test.server/v2/sender/:uid/:msg

Then the funny thing is:

1. The message DOES pop up in the notification center.
2. Chanify App shows the number of unread messages.
3. You can't see the message in App because it doesn't belong to any channel.

@lgxz Avoid illegal channels that have been used, so the uncategorized channel is the default channel.

If you modified the server code, you can add default channel for uid.

Thanks

Yes. The problem is that the messages will be invisible in App completely if I sent messages without any channel information. The App only shows the number of unread messages. And, you can't get rid of the unread number from App forever.

Server will add default channel.

How did you modify the code?

Thanks.

Great. Sorry, I don't know how to paste formatted code.
It's very simple:

1. Add s.GET("/sender/:uid/:msg", c.handleUserSender), copy handlerSender function to handerUserSender
2. In handleUserSender, extract uid from request instead of token. And change msg to msg := &model.Message{}
3. In handleUserSender, call c.sendUidMsg(ctx, uid, msg.SoundName(ctx.Query("sound")).SetPriority(parsePriority(ctx.Query("priority"))))
4. Copy sendMsg to sendUidMsg, change token to uid

Ok. Here is the commits:

m := &Message{}
m.From = tk.GetNodeID()
m.Channel = tk.GetChannel()
m.TokenHash = tk.HashValue()

From, Channel and TokenHash must be inited, then client will work.

• From: NodeId for decrypt message
• Channel: Can use defaultChannel
• TokenHash: Use for feature(token blocked list). You can use empty string "", but this way will disable token blocked list.

The message can be displayed in iOS Notification Center correctly even without the From field.
Does the current App support default channel? I will try it.

[wizjin]

Without the From field work, because SendAPNS will fix it. (only direct send can ignore From field)

You can add defaultChannel, then client will work.

Just tried it, same result. The messages are still invisible in App.

Edit:
Sorry, I made a mistake. I set msg.From to defaultChannel. And the message still displayed correctly in notification center!
It works after I fixed the mistake.

[wizjin]

I suggest you to set msg.From with logic.NodeID, because the image/sound/file/long text message need msg.From.

The feature 47 will can be used to solve the empty channel.

• if m.Channel == nil, client will set channel to defaultChannel
• if m.Channel == invalid channel, client will ignore this channel

Thanks

The defaultChannel is an unnamed system channel. Messages sent to the defaultChannel will be put in the uncategorised channel by client app.

But, if you set the "Name" property of defaultChannel, this will force client app create an unnamed system channel.
And, user can't delete the new created channel.

What is an "invalid channel"?
I hope that client won't ignore the unknown channels so that we can push categorized messages to many clients without knowing every channel token.

This is the commit to send categorised message to user directly:
https://github.com/lgxz/chanify/commit/a4f6f526d5758654bd8fa8c95515769f6ca113aa

We do not need to know the channel token of every client.

By "curl https://server/.../msg?chan=Event&code=100", the clients will create "Event" channel automatically and put message in it.
