Xen Notices [Deleted]

[RobParker]

Log out and log back in again.

You must have closed it which sets a cookie to stop it from showing temporarily.

Logging out of XenForo clears any XenForo related cookies so it should reappear afterwards.

Ah that's exactly what it was, thanks. Is that a permanent cookie for the session or on a timer?

 

[RobParker]

As an aside, I know Shelley has some great notification styling examples but have you collected any others together? Would be really nice to see some more examples.

It relates to this option which can be set for each Notification:

Default is 0 which is a session cookie - I just didn't know if you'd set it to a higher number. If you'd set it to 3 then restarting your browser wouldn't help, it wouldn't show again for 3 days.

If it's set to 0 then restarting your browser will bring it back.

Or you can just delete the particular cookie.

Only Shelley has been awesome enough as far as I know!

Would a "viewing threadid" criteria be possible? That's about the only thing missing from making this perfect for us

 

[RobParker]

Is there any way to change "dismiss" to "accept" for only specific notices (e.g. a "rules" notification).

 

[Chris D]

Unfortunately not.

 

[RobParker]

Do you think it'd be a big edit?

Ideally there'd be an option to set a notification as "requiring acceptance" which would change "dismiss" to "accept" but I doubt you'd want to add that unless a lot of people wanted it.

 

[Chris D]

It's probably more work than it's worth right now, but one thing I would say is you can change the "Dismiss" phrase to anything you like as per a normal phrase.

So you could change it to "I agree" or even just "OK".

So, maybe there's a phrase you can think of that fits both types of Notification?

Yeah I thought something like that but couldn't come up with a good phrase to cover both. It might just have to be that we include in the "rules" one that by "clicking dismiss you accept the above rules".

Is it possible when a user deletes a notification to not be redirected to a specific page? I only want to close the confirmation pop-up and stay on the same page.

if ($this->isConfirmedPost())
{
    $notificationModel->dismissNotification($notificationId);
   
    XenForo_Application::getSession()->set('dismissedNotifications',
    $notificationModel->getDismissedNotificationIdsForUser(XenForo_Visitor::getUserId())
);
   
return $this->responseRedirect(
    XenForo_ControllerResponse_Redirect::SUCCESS,
    XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('index'),
    new XenForo_Phrase('notification_dismissed')
    );
}

After the upgrade I had a server error pop up in the log. Suggestions:

Once? Or repeatedly?

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Once

 

[Chris D]

Then it's nothing to worry about.

It's likely that it was the brief seconds between the files being uploaded, the XML being imported. Etc

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Sounds good to me.

Chris,

I have the following option unchecked: Notification is dismissible
to me, that means the user/group is unable to close the notice....
I have been able so far to dismiss the notice every which way....
I have also unchecked: Enable temporary dismissal
but as it says, it is just a temporary dismissal....
I would like for the user/group not to be able to dismiss at all.
am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

 

[Chris D]

There are two types of dismissal:

Permanent: If a Notification is dismissed by a registered user it will never show until such a time that they reset their own dismissed Notifications (in the Account Preferences page) or you Reset a notification which will force it to be shown again regardless of whether it has previously been dismissed. This is activated by clicking the "Dismiss Notification" link.

Temporary: Temporary dismissal is activated by the "X" in the top right corner of the Notification. When you close a Notification, a cookie is set in your browser that will prevent the Notification from showing for X days. X is defined for each Notification. If X is set to 0 then the Notification is hidden for the current browser session only (so restarting your browser will bring it back).

If you disable both of these then the Notification can still be closed... (Think about how annoying it would be if the Notification was covering the "Post Reply" button, for example) but the Notification will display on every single page load.

people have different needs for different notices....
I need a permanent notice to display to unregistered/not logged in users...
without them being able to dismiss the notice...If they do not want to
see the notice, then they should signup, or login.

(this is why i got this, because I thought I could control what groups
could dismiss and others could not. I did not know your permanent
option was only temporary, sorta misleading if it says "permanent"
but they really can dismiss if they want too...

Lets put it this way, if the member is not logged in, then there
is no reason why they should be able to dismiss the notice.

If you disable both of these then the Notification can still be closed... (Think about how annoying it would be if the Notification was covering the "Post Reply" button, for example) but the Notification will display on every single page load.

 

[The Grand Potentate]

What's the best way to setup a one time notification that will never return once the member's read it/dismissed it? Set it to an indefinite number of days? I can't see any other option for it.

 

[Bellinis]

I'd like to setup a notification to thank users that just contributed with a donation.
Once donated, their account is upgraded to a new group 'donators'. But would it be possible to send them a one-time thank-you notification once they are upgraded? I don't see how..

Thanks!
