How to join a private group/channel #13

Open stoehrm5 opened 3 years ago

stoehrm5 commented 3 years ago

I was able to setup pidgin + rocket chat successfully.

What works:

get room list
direct message to other users
join public channels

What does not work:

join an existing private room/channel.

Is this possible at all or did I just not find the documentation?

I have the same issue.

It seems that you have to specify the rocket.chat roomid like Llm5D2wEtbcxBLZmp on the join chat dialog. Unfortunately the roomid is only visible via mongodb queries

I tried to create private channel just for myself via webapp and then I was able to join via Pidgin just by writing the channel name to field in "add chat". Also make sure that you choose RC account in case you have multiple accounts in the "add chat" dialog.

I found the possible way to get room_id but its not helping me you can download user data in profile and in zip-file there will be a channels.json Please confirm if someone get a result with.

@lazyest Hello, for me it works fine. I add a chat in the main menu, and specify only room ID without room name --- it is obtained automatically

lazyest commented 3 years ago

Yeah, me too ;) So I think this can be described as an official way of doing this. Or maybe its possible to do some more easy way in future.
