Rocketchat

What about adding a custom button or hyperlink text for non members to get redirected to my application link?

Try to add this text in #rocketchat admin > Layout > Login Terms

Second... Within Rocketchat, I want other members to see their UNA profiles, but I want to restrict them from seeing emails. Right now its all or nothing. 

Try to login under normal user, it maybe email is shown for admins only.

To change background on #rocketchat landing page use the following CSS:

.rc-old.full-page { background-image:url(http://your-url-to-image-here); }

in rocketchat admin panel > Layout > Custom CSS

#rocketchat

I tried setting up Rocket Chat and messed something up in the settings and now it's basically locked me out 100%, I have zero ability to change anything and (using Una Hosted) I tried to uninstall and reinstall, and it made no change.

When you reinstall Rocket.Chat, you need to drop old database, or use new one, then you will be able to use Chat from the scratch. If you are using these instructions to install Chat then you need to modify the following line to run Chat on new Database:

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/rocketchat_new

I am using Rocketchat 2.3.2 which sadly does not have una connect within it.  I could create a custom oauth but have no idea how to fill out most of the fields.....but one thing at a time....I need to be able to open chat.mysite.com and it open mysite.com:3000 or https purposes

Yes, you can use latest Rocket.Chat and use Custom OAuth, steps are the following:

1.

2.

3.

4. Activate 'Merge Users' setting

You can try to update Rocket.Chat settings directly in DB

1) login to your server via SSH

2) run the following command, so mongodb shell will be opened:

mongo

3) select current DB in the opened shell, the default db name is "rocketchat":

use rocketchat;

4) run the following queries to update settings, make sure to replace FULL-URL-TO-UNA-SITE (starting with http:// or https://), YOUR-KEY & YOUR-SECRET with your actual values

db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id": "Accounts_OAuth_UNA_URL"}, { $set: {"value": "FULL-URL-TO-UNA-SITE", "meteorSettingsValue": "FULL-URL-TO-UNA-SITE"}});
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id": "Accounts_OAuth_UNA_id"}, { $set: {"value": "YOUR-KEY", "meteorSettingsValue": "YOUR-KEY"}});
db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id": "Accounts_OAuth_UNA_secret"}, { $set: {"value": "YOUR-SECRET", "meteorSettingsValue": "YOUR-SECRET"}});

As the result you should see something like this: "WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })"

It maybe Rocket.Chat restart will be required.
