The system compiles a list of users who haven't connected to the MyChat server for a long time incorrectly. We recommend you to update MyChat Server, setup files are reloaded on the site, version 6.6.

forum.png (11.81 KiB) Viewed 13330 times

New simplified design. Fast content filter and sorting are added. Solved problems with encoding when copying text from the board to the clipboard.

In MyChat Client settings you can specify whether to display the bulletin board window on top of all windows or not; whether to notify in the tray with a flashing sign or pop-up window or not.

If the user has a terminal session open on the whole screen, the bulletin board displays correctly on top of all windows.

Double-click or Enter works on some elements of the list.

2. NetName — NETBIOS computer name opens in Explorer. You can look at the list of opened folders (shares).
3. Reflink — if it is a support user, a browser opens with a page from which this person transferred into the support chat on your website.

MyChat Client
[*] (02.08.2018) improvements for direct files transfer in slow networks.

Timeouts are increased for the beginning of direct files transfer when searching for a suitable recipient IP address in the local network.

It also turned out, that some computers with default drivers of network devices (in Windows 10, for example) experience a “freeze” when transferring large files during a disconnection due to the timeouts more than 5 seconds. There was a disconnection from the sender side, and it was impossible to a send large file (40 MB and more).

[-] (02.08.2018) (Mac, Linux) error when resending a file directly (the file is “busy”).

Incorrect processing of the manual disconnection caused the file to become busy from the recipient side, and he had to restart MyChat Client. Otherwise, it was impossible to transfer the same file again.

MyChat Server
[+] (02.08.2018) (Admin) a setting to disable IP address in tokens when login into MyChat Services without a password.

tokensandip.png (54.67 KiB) Viewed 13286 times

The point of this setting.

You can get into Kanban, Admin Panel or the forum directly from MyChat Client without entering your login and password:

mychatservices.png (8.9 KiB) Viewed 13286 times

When you select one of these options, MyChat requests a special one-time token from the server to enter the service you need.

The server checks the access rights, and if everything is okay, it sends you a token in response. MyChat Client opens a browser with the received link, and you enter the Admin panel, Kanban board or the forum automatically without entering a login and password.

At the moment of entering the WEB service, MyChat Server checks the token for validity and also looks from which IP address you try to enter. If this IP address does not match the address from which the token is requested, then the authorization attempt is ignored, and the token is destroyed.

It seems that everything is correct, but there is a problem if your browser works via a VPN or proxy. Then your MyChat Client and browser IP will not match. To avoid this limitation, we made the setting for disabling IP address control in the given one-time tokens.

This setting is enabled by default with a performing monitoring because a disabling of this setting is a deliberate lowering of safety requirements.

MyChat Server
[*] (02.14.2018) (MyChat Guest) if you send invitations to the same email several times, then new accounts will not be created anymore, and the server will use an existing account.

The server creates an account in MyChat for all users who receive an invitation by email. Previously, if an invitation was sent several times, then each time when a user clicked on the link in the letter, the server created a new account.

The server has become smarter and tries to determine that a user with this e-mail was connected to the server before via MyChat Guest and he no longer needs to create a new account. The main criteria are matching e-mail and Gusts or WebGuests rights group.

[-] (14.02.2018) (Admin) when you import the users from the domain and configure the field reassignment, the photos do not import. Fixed.

[-] (02.16.2018) identical nicknames and "no name (UIN xxx)" display in the private messages history. Fixed.

user-nicks-duplicates.png (41.41 KiB) Viewed 13255 times

First, different users with the same nickname simply do not display in the history, only one user gets to the list.

Secondly, if you open the conversation history with such a user from private conversation, then his nickname in the history shows up as "no name (UIN xxx)", although the message history is displayed. However, in the list on the left it is not.

Now, if there are duplicate nicknames in history (for example, two John Johnson), then they will be shown in the list on the left in the history window as "John Johnson" and "John Johnson (UIN 12345)".
