Admin account can't create any chatrooms, no "Public" chatroom option, can't create/select default chatroom.
Using Jamroom
Greetings. We've been trying to use Jamroom as our private Intranet, and we're slowly muddling through. We have about 50+ volunteers across multiple continents (plus various partners), so hopefully Jamroom will solve some communication challenges.
One of the biggest struggles we're still having is with the Simple Chat.
The JR Admin account can't create any chatrooms. Is this normal?
We wanted to create a default chatroom that everyone automatically joins, unless they select from the list of other chatrooms.
We tried following the instructions here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/4543/simple-chat
and here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/46917/auto-join-main-chat-room
We've tried with both Chromium and Firefox.
But there is no "public" option to check or uncheck. Even when we temporarily switch the entire site to "public" still didn't see such an option.
So, the admin can't select a default chatroom.
Only regular users can create chatrooms, but no public option.
Any ideas what is wrong with our setup?
System Core 6.2.0
SimpleChat 1.3.2
Ubuntu 16.04.6
To be clear, we don't actually want a truly public chatroom, we want a default chatroom that all Intranet users (with the site set to completely private users only), automatically end up in unless they select a different chatroom. Right now, every time we add a new user account, even with the same profiles as everyone else, we then have to have someone manually add them to what we're using for now as the "Default Everyone Chatroom", but it isn't really the use case we're hoping for.
Appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
