  2. Allow users, or server admins to configure the width of the channel switcher

    Webapp

    Some of our channel names are just a little too long for the channel switcher, it'd be great to have an extra 50px so they fit in properly and don't get truncated.

    It would be great if this was an option for users, or even as just a config setting in the server/webapp

  3. Allow administrators to set emoji aliases

    I've run in to several emoji that use a non-standard name in Mattermost, which I've found to be very confusing. One prime example is that the "party popper" emoji (as it's known on many other platforms) is called "tada" in Mattermost. I'd love to be able to set an alias of party_popper for this.

  4. direct constant url to newest stable release

    hello folks.

    mattermost-omnibus isn't a viable update mechanic for a lot of people as it has restrictions and is locked into several parts. IE - necessitates postgres and comes with nginx.

    mattermost doesn't appear to have their own apt-repo so updating that way isn't an option. github releases need to be built/compiled.

    i'm scripting my own update but I'm hitting a wall with how the URL for the newest release is formatted.

    Could we please get a direct URL to the newest release?
    Currently - https://releases.mattermost.com/5.32.1/mattermost-5.32.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
    Ideally - https://releases.mattermost.com/latest/mattermost-linux-amd64.tar.gz

  6. make /commands referencable in post-text.

    There are interactive message buttons, but they dont flow neatly in the text. It should be possible to write a longer post, and reference commands and parameters in the text.
    Once the post is posted, they become clickable by everyone which would in some way ask for confirmation or just pre-fill the text-input-area and allow the users to execute said command.

    That way one could not even better educate users of (custom) commands, but could also help them prefill the arguments of commands.

    Example: I could write:

    hello there, it seems, like you want to use /command asdf for asdf…

  7. Allow users to be set to disallow direct messages

    At the moment, you can configure users to be allowed to send direct messages either to other members of the team or to anyone on the server.

    I'd like to make it so that normal users cannot start direct messages at all.

    My particular usecase may be a little out of the sweet spot - I have created a mattermost for my children (quite young) who I want to be able to chat with while they are doing their home learning, but don't want them using public chat systems. I am happy for them to interact with each other in…

  8. Adding a "Do Not Disturb" Mode

    We all know that people need to concentrate to work efficiently. This is why macOS and then all the operating systems have introduced the "Do not Disturb" mode, which allows to focus on your work.
    And I think we can do even better while integrating it to Mattermost.
    What is in the "Do not disturb" functionality ? It stops alls notification except the ones which doesn't disturb you.
    But the question is : why is it interesting to add it to Mattermost ?
    In a Mattermost server (for me), there are lots of different channels. Even the basics channels of…

  9. Admins should be able to see statistics of different channels too.

    Right now mattermost provides statistics at App level and at Team level. It would be really helpful if admins can see stats of different public/private channels too.

    That means if I have 15 different channels, I can stats of all of them and pick which one is being used the most and which is least.

    What do you think guys?

  11. Change custom attributes to support user set attribute values

    Custom attributes should optionally support having both a name and a value at the point of definition by the system admin.
    They would be as currently assigned to users/teams/group as
    appropriate. The value of the attribute could then be set at this time or by the user, team/group owner in a custom attribute extension to the user profile or similarly for for teams and group. Support for attributes of type simple
    (no value, current behavior), required (must be set), overridable (can be changed or not from value set by system) could also be added.
    An extension to markdown to return…

  13. Support other Postgres schema but public

    I have not found any way to specify the Postgres schema that mattermost should use and saw that the "public" schema was in the sql migration files.

    Using the public schema is not a recommended practice with postgres : https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Database_Schema_Recommendations_for_an_Application

    See first section stating :
    "The recommendation is to create a single database with multiple named schemas [...]. Additionally, it is recommended to remove the public schema."

  16. Add the team name to any notification emails

    Please add the team name to any notification emails sent by MM. While we have few teams with common channel names, it is really confusing from email body which team it is.

  17. Clearer notification for plugin upload failure (size limit)

    I was receiving a generic "Received invalid response from the server" messages when trying to upload the BigBlueButton plugin. I eventually discovered that it was because the Maximum File Size was configured to 5MB.

    A clear message stating either what the "invalid response" was or flagging the issue as "too large of a file" size would be less generic and easier to troubleshoot.

  18. Ability to change the order of channel groupings

    There are several options now provided for changing the grouping and ordering of channels, but one is conspicuously missing IMO: the ability to change the ordering of the groupings.

    In my use of MM, I have a small handful of favorite channels, and then a bunch of other channels, and then a small handful of direct messages. Most of my communication is in the favorite channels and the direct messages, but the former is at the very top and the latter is at the very bottom. It is annoying to have to scroll through the wasteland of all of my…

  19. AWS S3 Prefix/Suffix

    Summary
    At the moment, it is only possible to use root of the bucket. It will be nice to be able to use subfolder of the bucket. Some of us have more than 50 buckets...adding even single one more is chaos.

    Expected behavior
    Be able to set S3Prefix in order to use s3://bucketname/s3prefix/s3_object
