In theory, when you click the link, it checks if it should open the meeting embedded, or in a new window. If it has to open the meeting in a new window, it should just open a new window (using window.open(meetingLink, '_blank')
. That is all the plugin does. Does this bring some light to the matter?
Hi!
Sorry for the somewhat strange question. I try to describe what I want to know and why:
(We use Mattermost desktop client under Windows. Plugin Version 2.0.0)
In our environment different browsers are being used for different use cases. The browser that should start for a single use case is being controlled via different URL protocols, i.e.
http://
andhttps://
open (an extremely cut down version of) Firefox for normal web browsing,videochat://
opens Chrome (but only single destination, no general web browsing allowed here), and some other do other things... I won't discuss why it is done like this, because we are not able to change this behaviour.Keep in mind, we are using the current (v4.6.1) desktop client.
Now, if I setup "Jitsi Server URL" under plugin settings to contain
https://our.jitsi.server
it opens Firefox (under which video chat won't work), but if I set it tovideochat://our.jitsi.server
nothing happens, althoughvideochat
is registered as own URL scheme under Mattermost settings and opens Chrome under normal circumstances (via link inside message i.e.).I know that it should work: as a test, I a) copied the link URL which was created via the plugin and b) re-post it as a normal Mattermost message, c) click on the resulting message link and d) Boom! Chrome starts and everything is fine.
And even more strange, if I don't use the desktop client but i.e. Firefox as Mattermost client, the plugin works as expected: "Join Meeting" starts the Chrome browser via the
videochat://
URL Protocol.So, I try to understand, why the "Join Meeting" button won't react to the
videochat://
based link, but to thehttps://
one inside the desktop client. I already tried to find the solution in the plugin source (and messed around with the meetingLink), but as I have nothing to do with Mattermost plugin development I don't quite understand the complete mechanism to make changes for my needs. I assume it might have something to do withonClick={this.openJitsiMeeting}
inpost_type_jitsi.tsx
, but, you know...Perhaps you can lead me into the right direction.
Many thanks and regards, Holger
