  1. Bring profile photos from AD when AD/LDAP synchronization configured

    A lot of AD forests have Profile Photos in them. Mattermost provides no administrative capability to set profile photos. Therefore, just yank them out of AD? Would prevent complex UI from being necessary and give us AD admins a more fancy way :)

  2. Hide the SMTP server password from system console

    The system console shows the SMTP server password in clear. No other application/website with sane defaults does that. Some offer a button next to the password field to reveal the password temporarily, so the user can make sure no one is standing next to them who could see the secret.

    I actually consider this a bug, but it was rejected as such: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10909

  4. implement threads in slack import tool

    implement threads in slack import tool.

    right now, threaded messages lose their context when imported. they just become normal messages and not replies to other messages.

    https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10203

    https://api.slack.com/docs/message-threading

    in slack, replies are standalone objects. it works via a thread_ts (thread timestamp) attribute. thread_ts refers to the ts (timestamp) of the parent post. if a post has thread_ts == ts, then it is the beginning of a thread.

    possible approach:
    import all posts except for ones where thread_ts != ts (as these are replies to other posts). once that's done, go back and import the replies since their parents will…

  5. New plugin hook to preproceses/format posts

    To achieve his would require me to process or format the post when it is being rendered.

    Thank you for the proosal! In fact, web app plugins can render different post components based on the post’s type. Any time the web app encounters a post with this post type, it replaces the default rendering of the post component with your own custom implementation.

    This allows you to create a custom format for posts.

    https://developers.mattermost.com/extend/plugins/webapp/#custom-post-type-components

    Let us know if there is further functionality you’re looking for from the feature?

  7. Support searching "in:" direct messages

    It would be nice if "in:" could support direct messages. This was discussed in

    https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/7762

    which depended on https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/189 which was already merged, so maybe this isn't too hard to add now?

  9. Use the actual group url as the invite url

    Why use a separate URL to invite people to a group on mattermost?

    It seems like there would only be an advantage to keeping the URLs separate if someone could visit a page without actually joining it, but that isn't the case.

    When someone (for the first time) tries to use the URL that we see in the address bar when looking at the group they don't actually make it to the page. Instead they are redirected to the default home page.

    Great suggestion Vincent! This is in fact fixed in v5.1 release coming on July 16th.

    With that release, when the user clicks on a link to a specific channel outside of Mattermost, and goes through the account creation process, they will land on the channel they intended to view.

    More details are included in this ticket: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-9479

  10. Let someone get to a public channel with just one hyperlink

    Yesterday I tried to share a link to a public channel on mattermost with people who had never visited the site.

    Unfortunately when they clicked it they were redirected to the default home page, and not even for the home page for that group. I then found out later that I could get someone there with two hyperlinks (1) an invite link for the group and (2) a direct link to the channel.

    I think it would be much easier for someone to be able to click just one hyperlink and be redirected to the page you intended. It would…

  11. Message preview for Android notifications

    The system notifications triggered by Mattermost don't include a message preview (only a message "@xyz sent you a direct message" with "@xyz sent you a direct message" as preview), even if "show content" on lock screen is activated for Mattermost notifications. It would be nice to have message previews.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    This is in fact available, but your System Admin might have restricted what information is included in push notifications. We provide three options:
    – General description with only the sender’s name
    – General description with user and channel names
    – Full message snippet including a message preview

    You can contact your System Admin to see which option they’ve chosen. More information here: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#push-notification-contents

  12. Option to have permanent sessions on mobile apps, manageable on the server

    After logging in to the server on a mobile app the server should assign a permanent session to the app. This avoids the necessity of re-loggin in to mobile apps.
    In order to keep security the user should be able to view logged in session ("devices") on the server an be able to log them out if necessary.

    Thank you Andreas! Both of these can actually be achieved today:

    1. Your System Admin can configure how long mobile sessions last in System Console > Security > Sessions > Session length for mobile apps. https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#sessions

    2. Each user can view logged in sessions in Account Settings > Security > View and Logout of Active Sessions. Your System Admin can also revoke all sessions from a user in System Console > Users if necessary.

  13. Android App: Notification on Timeout or Logout

    Send Android Users a Notification if they have been logged out.
    We previously had session lengths of 1 month. After that, the App silently just doesn't send any more notifications about messages and users forget about it.
    Only if you open the App directly, you'll see that you have been logged out.

    Hey all,

    Thanks for the report. We’ve identified the issue and fixed it in v1.13. You should receive a push notification after the session expires informing that happened.

    Note that for the fix to take effect, you would need to log in with v1.13. So you might see your session expire without receiving a push notification one more time, but you should receive that notification thereafter.

    Mattermost v5.4 also adds a session expiry notification for the desktop app and desktop browser.

  14. Interactive Message Dropdowns

    I really like the interaction message buttons!
    https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/interactive-message-buttons.html

    I am trying to clone the /remind functionality in Slack into Mattermost, and the button interactions are working well, but the 'Snooze' dropdown button does not have an equivalent in Mattermost. (For now I am going to have one button for Snooze of 20 minutes... not as flexible as I'd like)

  15. I forgot my password option on Mobile

    There is no option on the mobile apps for a password email to be sent to the user if they have forgotten their password. I have had to instruct them to go on a computer and request a password reset email. I do not know if there is a reason for not having this, but I think it would be a time saver for most users because most users are on mobile only. Thanks!

  16. Link to a channel in chat like #announcements

    It would be nice if I can point to an other cahnnel. Mostly useful for public ones, like:

    free beer! find details in #announcements
    but it would be even better if we can point to any other, maybe in other team too.

  17. Add Office365 authentication support for native mobile apps

    This feature is a show-stopper level requirement for using Mattermost on Mobile with companies in the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem.

    Reason being that most large scale companies have centralized identity management and have policies that prevent any application into their ecosystem if they cannot centrally control access to it. As an example, corporate IT usually want to make 100% sure that when they disable a user account from their AD, the change is carried over to all business applications and there's no risk of the user retaining access to company information once they have left. Using a central identity provider also makes…

  19. Delete User (to be GDPR conform)

    The european unions new general data protection regulation grants user the "right to be forgotten" (Article 17, GDPR). Event though Art. 17. (1) a. grants the exception, that data does not have to be deleted if it is still necessary for the purpose it was collected or processed, it is questionable if this exception is applicable.

    I understand the effort to maintain a consistent history of conversations and interactions and therefore not implementing a deletion of users and the work it takes to implement a compromise between guranteeing the data subjects right to be forgotten and consistent conversation history.

    When viewing reactions in the mobile app it doesn't appear to be possible to view who made each reaction. On the web and desktop app you can hover over the reactions to see who made them.
