Alert Improvements by Xon 2.10.13

[VBX Co]

It could be the alert summarization still, I'm currently rewriting those code paths which where largely unchanged since 2017 and are quite hard to follow/debug.

Thanks @Xon - appreciate the feedback and all the hard work you put in to helping us with your add-ons, both paid and free!

Xon updated Alert Improvements by Xon with a new update entry:

2.9.3 - Bugfix update

• Fix both the alerts pop-up and alerts page would mark some alerts as read when it shouldn't.
  This could give the impression of alerts disappearing as the default unread filter on the alerts page would exclude those unexpectedly read alerts

It already does something like that. It just doesn't list the first few users.

Ok, but how i can active it?

Xon updated Alert Improvements by Xon with a new update entry:

2.9.4 - Bugfix update

• Fix regression in v2.9.0 where empty content summary alerts was being generated, and incorrectly preferring a per-user summary instead
• Fix that editing alert preferences when summarization is disabled, would disable some summarization options

This isn't currently supported. The alerts don't have that information, and it would require a change of the alert summarization code to generate that information.

If you are willing to fund that work, please open a ticket on my site.

Is this add-on not on your site or am I missing it?

There also appears to be a bug when trying to disable the flood check in the ACP. Entering 0 and saving changes it to 1.

One last thing (hopefully)

Attempting to enable Alerts page skips summarizing and then saving unchecks Alerts page skips summarizing, and attempting to set the alert summarization number and saving does not save the alert summarization number. Alerts pop-up skips mark read works as expected.

Not all my free add-ons are hosted on my own site. I'm migrating them over slowly

• Fix "Alert resummarize flood check" global option didn't allow selecting 0 to disable it

There is a per-user option "Alerts pop-up skips mark read".

This can be configured as the default for new users, and then setup enabled for everyone else via bulk SQL:

update xf_user_option
set sv_alerts_popup_skips_mark_read = 1;

OK this seems to be having an unexpected behavior for me - am I doing something wrong or do I need to downgrade?

Expected behavior (and what downgrade did):

• reactions are marked read as soon as the alert button is clicked
• quotes and subscribed threads remain unread until clicked

Current behavior with sv_alerts_popup_skips_mark_read = 1:

• reactions and quotes and subscribed threads remain unread until clicked

Other than downgrading, how can I get back to the expected behavior? Thanks so much.

OK this seems to be having an unexpected behavior for me - am I doing something wrong or do I need to downgrade?

For now downgrade.

I'm working on an update which will allow configuring what is alerted and what is marked-read-on-view in the alerts-popup by admins for defaults and then for users as options. This requires more work, but I think maybe 1-3 weeks or so as an ETA.

That is a known XenForo bug if you leave a page open for too long.

I have made significant progress with these changes, and it is in alpha/beta testing on my sites:




Selecting "user custom", expands:


AdminCP side:

(Yes, supports @NixFifty's Discord integration add-on)

I plan to add a "XF2.2 preset", and also the ability to setup other default settings. ie "Less alerts" (without reaction alerts). But haven't implemented this yet.

The migration progress is a little rough and I need to test this more.

Cool. Looking forward to it! Love the mod!
