Longer Mattermost messages divided to multiple pieces

[ljelinek-cznic]

I've encountered the situation that Mattermost messages are divided to multiple pieces (each is sent as a separate message). We have currently six restaurants and the sixth's menu is divided inside a word. See the screenshot below.

If it is a limitation of Mattermost (maximum character count for a message) please consider forced dividing between restaurants instead of the current automatic dividing at any place.

Mattermost can be configured to allow up to 16383 characters per message, that should hopefully be enough even for the most verbose restaurants (Important Upgrade Notes, it's in the table row for v5.0.0).

Maybe we could just ask admins to change it – we are currently on v5.21.0 and probably using the default value of 4000 chars incl. markdown formatting…

Thanks for reply. I'll ask admins to raise the limit.

Dividing before headings/restaurants would be nice, but i'm afraid there's no way for jidlobot to determine the limit… it can just assume it's 4000, but then it will break for people who have set it to a lower value for some reason.

so i guess it's either config change, or choosing less verbose pubs, or living with

How about one message per restaurant. That should fit, shouldn't it?

Asi jo. Aspon dokud u obrazu a v kovarne nepridaji dalsich 150 jidel.

Akorat musim zkusit, jak by to vypadalo v notifikacnim mailu. Kdyz dam @channel jen na zacatek prvni zpravy, posle to asi jen ten „nadpis“, ale kdyz pridam @channel ke kazdy hospode, posle to mail pro kazdou zvlast? To by lidi asi zacalo trochu stvat…
