Xen Notices [Deleted]

It isn't unfortunately (same as notices and User Group Promotions). But you could choose under User Criteria:
User has posted no more than X messages, and set that to something low like 1.
That will get most of your new members.

He mentioned somewhere about guest not eligible to dismiss notice.. following Xenforo's notice standard.
Chris,
I can see that when dismissing the notice i am being redirected to the forum index.. even though i was inside a thread. Can this be fixed. I mean i use XenPorta and whenever i see the notices pop-up in Xenporta homepage i'd like to dismiss the notices but still stay in XenPorta homepage
There's no cookies involved. The notification dismissal isn't based on cookies because if it was then it'd never be permanent.
If a user clicks Dismiss Notification, it writes their user ID and the notification ID to the database. This is what stops it from showing. Guests don't have a user ID so this cannot be used, therefore it is hidden from guests.
In the next version, the close button will start being more functional. Upon closing the notification a cookie will be written (for a period set on a per notification basis). While that cookie is valid, the notification will stay hidden. And that will work for guests and members alike. So if there is a non-dismissible notification, they can at least get rid of it for a few days.
The "cookie closer" will be an optional feature. It requires an extra jQuery plugin to be called. Not everyone will want it so it will be possible to disable it

Yeah, interestingly I can't get this to work like it does for Notices exactly.
You will see that if you dismiss a notice then you don't get a confirmation and it just does it without refreshing the page at all. I think I've identified the javascript that does it but my javascript skills are pretty poor so I might need to seek advice on that.
But thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for clarifying the dismissing for guests and what is planned for the next version. I searched but missed the prior mention of it. As other are likely running into, the scenario I have is a guest getting the pop-up on every page being able to dismiss it and close only closing it for the current page.
That's not right... can you give me a link to where you're trying this, and can you check the version number of it in Admin CP?

Version number is 1.1a. Hmm, just did some more testing, under the default style it works fine, using a style derived from XenFracture (xenstyles.com) it displays the phrase twice.
I will do some more digging tomorrow, now I have to prepare to upgrade a seriously big database server. If there is any debugging you want me to do just shout. Like I said I will do some more digging later.

Two notifications, just disabled one of them and still the same.
Turns out Deebs' issue wasn't a bug - more an issue with his style which caused my notifications to render twice. So, all sorted now.
No need to fix that in 1.2... speaking of which... oh! Changelog!

Thank you for your continued support.

1.2 Fixes:
- None!
1.2 New Features:
- For each notification you can configure a delay time. The notification will not be shown until this time passes. This is configurable up to 1 hour.
- You now have several image options. You can either display no image, display the visitor's avatar, or provide a URL/path to any image. The images are automatically shrunk to the same sizes.
- New global option to enable / disable temporary dismissal of notifications. Enabled by default. The temporary dismissal of notifications is done via the close button and works for guests too.
- For each notification you can specify a "time to hide" value. This is the time, in days, that the notification will stay closed for. If you specify 0 (default) the notification will be closed throughout the current browsing session, and will reappear the next time the browser is restarted.
Thank you for your continued support.

Very nice. I added an image and it worked wonderfully. However, the previous version would load each time I went to a new page. This one only flashed up once and then didn't return when I went to a new page though I never dismissed.
I'll send you a link to the error log.
Update: I uninstalled, re-upped the folders and re-installed. Not working at the moment.
