Any way to invite all into a chatroom?

We set up special chatrooms for holidays and birthdays etc and setting to autojoin is a great feature but it doesn affect the ones already logged in.

Thanks

Running from command line?, do you mean main chat?, if so well, its possible but more coding would have to be added, and the syntax would have to be, "!invite chatroom nick", personally i see no advantage of that.

"Inviting all", autologin should do that,  but u need to create the room without parameters, "!mkchat holidays&bdays".

We've been setting autologin with the right click menu and setting the chatroom to "public" as we create it
THat seems to work and I am assuming nothing changed in the most recent script to affect this

The scenario I was thinking of is we create a chatroom with auto login but there are a fair amount of people already logged in so that doesn't affect them nor does restarting the script

I would like to be able to create a chatroom and have all those already logged in be automatically put in the chatroom - not just when creating but even an existing chatroom  

This would be a great feature but we are very happy with what we have already!!! :D

Well that already happens, unless the room was created for a certain profile, if so only those in that profile will join the room automatically.
Is that what u mean?
Is your request a feature  to change/remove the room's profile and enable autologin for all?

[Rick]

Correct me if I am wrong but autologin for a chatroom set to "public" will automatically brin people into the room as they log into the hub

But if I create one now and you have been logged in for (say) a few hour already it will not log you in (not would I expect it to) !members will verify that they ARE coming in at logon but the already logged in need to be invited

I was looking for a way to bring all the ones not in the chatroom in. and "invite all, invite * etc that would bring everyone in. (and hopefully if there are 25 not in the room not put 25 "hellos" in the chatroom)

Another possibility would to have it work on multiple selected users (we are all on DC++) but I suspect that would open issues across the various clients

Call this a feature suggestion - we hare having great success with it as-is (and thanks again!  )

Nop, it doesnt work that way, if you set to "public" , the chat is sent to all in that profile, or all in the hub(depending on the settings), it has nothing to do with login or logout.

Unless the users are "!away" or have left("!leave") it should send the info to whoever.

It does that, unless you have created a room with a profile,
and havent enabled autologin, but it could be added to change a room from profile based(private room to public).
Lol, 25 hellos?, it sends 1 per user, maybe it shows that the user has been invited.

You mean on right click, or cmd based, or both?

[Rick]

I thought  "public" was created so all could join from any profile - that's the way it seems to be working

WHen we made it with no profile people were having trouble entering - but that was a couple of revisions ago

I just made a testchat with the latest script and no profile. I am the only one in it out of 19 logged in. I tried it with autologin both off and on

How would I invite these 19 people all at once?

Thanks

For now, you can only do it manually, maybe later I'll implement a command to do so.
Just so you know, public chat is created when you create a room without profiles, and autologin, is for the chatroom to send the "chat" to everyone in the hub or in that profile.

If nothing is typed in the chatroom nothing will be sent to the others, and a member is only added when he/she types in the room.

Hope that answers your questions.

I may be misunderstanding something

I just created a chatroom with no profile and autologin set to ON. I sent a message and I am still the only one in there. I know if I invite them manually the WILL be in there and anyone that logins from now on will automatically be in the room (unless they leave etc)
I guess what we are looking for is a way to PUT people already logged in - into the chatroom with one command and not have to individually invite each one

For now, you can only do it manually, maybe later I'll implement a command to do so.

Thanks! I'll say it again though - it isn't a major issue. I enjoy the discussion and will use the command if you get it created (and test it if you want to provide the code changes before releasing). All your work is appreciated

[Dessamator]

Well,I  see your point, your message is sent,and the other users receive it, but until they reply, they wont be added to the members list.

The prob with changing it, is imagine in big hubs, 1000 users in the list. that would cause a big list, what i can do is change the members list, if autojoin is on then it would send a msg "public chat", or "private chat for profile", instead of the normal message, as for inviting ill add it ASAP.

Dessamator - Thanks - we will test it for you but again don't rush - if it is a beautiful day where you are - go out and enjoy it  :-)
