Fixes: #2364
The Send Message button click event was erroring due to a refactor that had been done to allow for changing app sections.
This has been updated to follow the current way to change app sections.
fix: “Send Message” button crash in communities
This required switching from communities to normal view.
fix: crash when clicking channel link in community message
When a message in communities contains a link to another channel (ie #otherchannel), the search for this channel needed to be updated to also search for the channel by name, allowing for switching between channels within a community by message link. Additionally, when in a community, if the channel was located in a normal chat, it will switch the view to the normal chat after being found.
This commit introces global settings that apply across accounts used
inside the application. This is useful when settings like the selected
locale should b the same across all accounts.
Closes#2144
Alright, this is an interesting one:
As described in #1829, when the profile popup is opened within the chat view,
users are still able to click *through* the popup on message, which then puts them in
an active state.
I've done a bunch of debugging as described [here](https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1829#issuecomment-804748148) and after doing some
further debugging, I found out that `isMessageActive` isn't really the culprit here.
What causes this effect is the `HoverHandler` that's attached to the `CompactMessage` item.
`HoverHandler` is a standard QML type that emits `hoverChanged` signals so one can do things like
applying hover effects on elements, which is exactly what we do:
```
HoverHandler {
onHoverChanged: {
root.isHovered = hovered // `root` being the message item
}
}
```
I assume we went with this handler because putting a `MouseArea` in there instead, which fills
the entire message component pretty much eliminates all existing mouse handlers attached to
other child components, such as the profile image or the username of the message, which also
open a message context menu.
It turns out that, having a `HoverHandler` as described above, actually activates it when the
user clicks with the left mouse button as well (not just on hover). That's what causes the "click-through"
effect. This can be verified by setting `acceptedButtons` to `Qt.RightButton`, basically telling
the handler that only right clicks will activate it.
I then tried using `Qt.NoButtons` instead so that no button clicks and only hovers will activate
the handler, but that didn't seem to have any effect at all. It still defaults to `Qt.LeftButton`.
So the last resort was to disable the `HoverHandler` altogether, whenever either the profile popup,
or the message context menu (for emojis etc) is open.
Unfortunately, we don't have access to the profile popup in the compact message component, because it's
detached from the component tree. Therefore, I've introduced a new property `profilePopupOpened` on
the chat layout, which we can read from instead.
Fixes#1829
When the communities code was moved into its own view in https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/commit/b38d1df59
it broke the functionality to join communities again.
Qt complains that the Nim API in use `chatsModel.communities.joinCommunity`
expects two parameters, when it's call with just one.
This is unexpected because the API in question set a default value
for its second parameter.
To make this work again, we have to make sure the `setActive`
parameter is supplied every time we call the API from
within QML.
Also, worth noting that this is not the first time we're running into
a scenario like this.
In some cases inside of 1-on-1 chats, the fake messages added to
the beginning of the message list, wouldn't determine the correct
username of the contact in question.
This commit explicitly calls `chatsModel.userNameOrAlias()` instead
of relying on `activeChannel.name` which tries to do the same.
