Problem with mongooseim inbox and chat marker

Question

I want to send two markers to the sender and have a problem with mongoose-im inbox.

1. Received marker
2. Displayed marker

I want to reset the inbox-counter (unread-count) with displayed marker, but when I send the received-marker (or any message stanza) the counter will be reset and last message-id will change to marker-id (stanza id). What can I do?

Answer 1

In mod_inbox configuration you can pass option reset_markers which provides the list of markers that will reset the counter. However it works for a receiver of the message. Any message send by sender will reset his counter, as there is silent assumption that if you post a message, it means that you've read all the previous.
