Ability to run Mattermost on Windows Server
- Producing a version of Mattermost that runs on Windows Server
- Providing install guide for Windows Server
- Fixing issues with config.json not rendering in Notepad
- Offering .zip download for Windows rather than tar
60 votesHuge thanks to Jared Shields for drafting the production install guide for Window Server and helping make the Windows version straight forward to install: https://docs.mattermost.com/install/prod-windows-2012.html
Several changes were needed, such as making config.json readable in Notepad, changing from tar file to .zip which Windows can open natively without installing 3rd party decompression apps.
We’ve updated the original request to make this about having the ability to run Mattermost on Windows Server, which is about providing a Windows binary with each release, which enables a sort of “Mattermost Windows Server User Group” to become available, providing peer-to-peer support for Windows releases.
Mattermost on Windows Server is available. It’s less mature than Linux right now and as it grows in popularity, we need to be clear to the community on status of vetting and support.
Specifically:
1. Need a meta-ticket to update Mattermost documentation to distinguish between multiple binaries

Support high availability
It would be great if the Mattermost server was highly available, so that a server going down did not impact availability. I believe this can be done by using Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY to broadcast messages to clients connected to other servers.

mentions should be configurable not only for first name but also for last name and a combination of both
Within the notification settings, a user can choose to set his own mention triggers to "Your case sensitive first name "John"". It would be even more reasonable to trigger to a last name (because it's more unique then a prename). Furthermore case sensitivity should be an general, additional and optional selective checkbox for any of these settings.
1 voteThis is now available with “Other non-case sensitive words, separated by commas.” setting under Account Settings > Notifications > Words that trigger mentions.

Command shortcut for messaging a user (/msg)
In IRC you can type
/msg username
or/msg username foo
to open a chat with a user and send them a message (everything after their username). This would be very useful to quickly switch to a conversation with a user. After typing/msg
, an autocomplete list of users pops up, and then you can optionally add a message. I've already built this, would you be interested in this making it upstream?7 votesThis feature has been completed and was shipped with v3.4.

List teams of user in mattermost home page
Since there is a
Find my teams
in home page, so how about go one step further, just list my teams here?So the user no need to remember all of his teams and it's quite easy to find his team.
If we have this feature implemented, then the "Team Directory" could be changed to "Public Teams" means everyone can join in.
So that "Team Directory"(in fact maybe restricted teams) doesn't take the small valued home page because most of mattermost users are can not join into the team.
After that, in the mattermost home page, there are two kinds…

Change max length of username so that full names can be used, Add Capital letters
Change max length of username so that full names can be used. As described in https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1380 . usernames should be able follow enterprise rules. Ours is, e.g. name.lastname, or easier to read as Name.Lastname . Nicknames are not as good as well.

Prompt to invite a user to a channel when you mention them
In Slack, when you mention a user within a channel but they are not part of that channel, Slack alerts you to this and asks if you would like to invite that user to the channel - this would be an incredibly useful feature in Mattermost.
5 votesThis is currently on master and will be in the 2.0 release (February, 16th)

Hide preview
Having the ability to preview (for example) inline .gifs is amazing. But they can also be distracting at times. Having the ability to hide preview would be great.

Add @all mention as a mention as a configurable option.
A recent release of Mattermost removed the funtion that @all notifies everyone in the team.
Would it be possible to return this feature to the 'Notification Settings' as a possibility, but disabled by default?
The current workaround is to add
@all
as a keyword to trigger2 votesThanks for the suggestion and upvotes! (at)-all mention added as an option for notification settings with v3.1.

Enable signup for users with email address from long TLDs
People with valid email addresses at sites with long top-level domains (ex. user@papalote.online) are being told to "Please enter a valid email address" at signup. More and more people are using non-traditional TLDs. They should not be blocked from signing in.

Ignore slash commands containing slashes
Typing (or, more likely, pasting) a file path such as /data/some/thing in a post causes an error "Command with a trigger of data/some/thing not found". This happens surprisingly often in my workplace.
While the error does of course make sense and there are other things the user can do, I think it would be more user-friendly to disallow forward slashes in the names of actual slash commands, and do not attempt to process a word as a slash command if it contains slashes.
0 votesThe error message now also includes the option “Click here to send as a message”.
