  1. add anchors to /help/* docs

    Many "normal" users have problems writing markdown when chatting.
    For example, my friend don't know how to add "In-line Images".
    So, I want to send him a link to "In-line Images" section at https://chat.ohze.net/help/formatting
    But I can't because "In-line Images" is not an anchor like, ex https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#stage-1-pm-review (auto added by github for headings in a markdown document)

  2. Disable notifications functionality for defined period of time

    As a user I want to deactivate Mattermost notifications in my windows desktop application for a defined period of time. After this period the notifications will be shown as before.
    I can predefine in the period in the setings.
    I would like to activate this function by right clicking on the system tray icon and choose the action.

  3. Interactive action buttons

    Since Interactive Action Buttons are supported (4.2) it would be nice to support different button styles like in Slack and emoticons as text replacement for the buttons. I think this could enhance the overal look and feel of this new feature.

  6. Android: fetch text in background for faster opening from notifications

    We use Mattermost (self hosted) in a team of 30 people with about 20 channels.
    On my medium performance phone (Xperia Z3) it can take quite a while (~20 seconds) from tapping a notification to showing the actual message, even in ok network conditions (WiFi or 3G+).
    In the Desktop App, there's no such lags.

    I'd guess that by having the App run a background service which already fetches the text data for the channel triggering the notification could considerably speed up this use case.

  7. I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS.

    I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS. Also on iPhone, I see all unread messages at top of list, on macOS I have to scan the whole list to find unread messages. So the macOS client needs to catch up with the iPhone.

  8. Simplify chatbot integration by enabling bots to run sandboxed, in-process on the server

    Currently if I want any sort of 'bot' behavior, I need to:

    • Get an API token (ask an admin for permission)
    • Stand up a server or learn serverless
    • Figure out deployments/monitoring/logging

    To test my code, I need to expose my in-progress work to the internet so it can receive webhooks.

    This is a substantial bar to clear, resulting in monolithic projects like Hubot with many plugins.

    Organizations implementing this style of bot frequently have only a handful of people who know how to contribute to it.

    An alternative would be to support 'Managed bots': custom code (language TBD; javascript (via…

  9. add a go to date feature similar to stack

    add a go to date feature similar to stacks. I use this for example to go to the top of a channel. Specially after joining a new channel.

  10. Private message with authorized members only

    Hi, (I am new to this forum but I have installed Mattermost in my organization)

    Is it possible to add a new choice in the administrative console in the option “Allow users to open private message channels with” to request permission to create private messages with members who use the platform.

    Currently, the configuration choices are:

    All members of the team
    Any user on the Mattermost server
    and I would like to add :

    Only authorized members
    To prevent all members from communicating privately without prior notice

    Is it a good idea ?

  11. direct message

    Improve search/filter during direct message.
    With more than 100 users, it is really tough to find the user for DM through scrolling. Sometimes the user only know the first name and not last name... or worse, can only guess the spelling

    Would be great if we could use

    "mochi"

    to find

    "masashi-mochizuki"

  12. Delete an user's private conversations

    In some cases we need to delete all private conversations from an old user but without deleting the user (so it doesn't break continuity in public conversations).
    We use an SQL query:
    SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM Channels INNER JOIN
    (SELECT Id FROM Users WHERE Username LIKE 'Foo')
    sub ON Name LIKE concat('%', sub.Id, '%');
    Then "platform channel delete" to delete the channels.

    But it would be much easier to have a CLI command that does this.

  13. Include channel creation and management restrictions in team edition

    I know these features were left out of Team Edition to keep it simple, but these options are present in the config.json file.

    Enabling this features from just the config.json file would keep the team edition ui simple, but give smaller teams the same ability to control the whims of their users

  14. Add support for using channel_id in the URL instead of channel_handle

    Right now you can link to a channel using the following URL

    https://my-mattermost-server.com/teamname/channels/channel_handle

    However, if the channel handle is changed, the link gets broken.

    This feature proposal adds support for using channel_id the URL instead, which doesn't change. Example:

    https://my-mattermost-server.com/channels/channel_id

  15. Image preview should honor exif orientation

    Mattermost fetches images from a URL to that image, however it ignores the exif data. This results in the preview often being in the wrong orientation.

  17. Unread marker "time machine"

    It would be nice to be able to "go back in time" when it comes to "unread posts". I have not studied in detail how MM keeps track of this, but I'm guessing a "last seen postId" or a "last seen postDate" or something similar. Anything greater than this is "unread". Anyway, what I would like to see is a way to "undo" or "go back in time" on nn unread states.

    Say I login today, I have 33 unread/new messages. But I want to go back to the "unread count" I had the last time I logged in before…

  18. Allow for bots to directly upload images

    Bots are only able to post text messages to rooms, however, it would be convenient if bots were able to attach photos as a message to the room.

    We would prefer if our bot didn't have to upload images to an accessible URL and then post that url to the room (and then only get a preview of an image), as this adds a few extra steps to viewing the image and requires our bot to be aware of when it is done uploading the image to the host and then finally post the link to the room.

  19. 100% Slack Compatible Webhooks

    I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.

    At present we can render tables, can we have the control to left/right align the tables.
