# Local Chat
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There is one local chat on your Butter Box that is open to anyone who is
|
|||
|
|
able to join the box. If they can open the portal, they can open the chat
|
|||
|
|
and say or post anything they want. Depending on your use case, moderation
|
|||
|
|
capabilities may be important.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

## Moderation
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A Butter Box offers moderation features for the local chat. In order to
|
|||
|
|
access these features, you need to login as the admin of the room.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Become the Admin
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Logout as Guest
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you open the local chat, you are assigned a guest identity. First
|
|||
|
|
logout of the account that was created for you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Login as Admin
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Login to the `butterbox-admin` account. Username and password are both
|
|||
|
|
`butterbox-admin`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Change Admin Password
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Visit your user profile to change the password. At your discretion, you may
|
|||
|
|
also wish to change your display name so that other users will recognize
|
|||
|
|
you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Moderation Features
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you are an admin, you have access to the following features:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Set a message timer**
|
|||
|
|
* **Delete messages**
|
|||
|
|
* **Promote members to moderator or admin**
|
|||
|
|
* **Kick members out.**
|
|||
|
|
* Keep in mind that someone can simply rejoin as a new guest if they
|
|||
|
|
reconnect to the box
|
|||
|
|
* **Delete the room.**
|
|||
|
|
* Warning: If you delete the room, you will no longer have a local chat on
|
|||
|
|
your Butter Box. To get one back, you will have to flash a new image of
|
|||
|
|
the Butter Box software to your SD card.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Say Even More—Direct Messages and Private Rooms
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition to the local chat, you can create any number of private rooms
|
|||
|
|
from the same interface.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Things To Know
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Each room will have it's own QR code.
|
|||
|
|
* Private rooms are not discoverable from the Butter Box portal.
|
|||
|
|
* If you create a private room, you have to share the QR code physically to
|
|||
|
|
whomever you want to join **who is also connected to the box.**
|
|||
|
|
* Every private chat that you are part of, will be easy for **you** to
|
|||
|
|
find. They will all show up in your room list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Instructions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can create a private room from two different places in the message board
|
|||
|
|
interface.
