Alert Improvements by Xon 2.13.0

• ErrorException: Template error: [E_USER_WARNING] Template public:alert_user_thread_approve is unknown

2.11.1 => xf 2.2

Are you getting this error in XenForo 2.3?

Old versions use jQuery, new versions use vanilla js; my fault to install old version for 2.3

=> solved, sorry.

giving this one a try again after a break......im noticing clicking "unsummarize" basically removes the notification instead of unpacking it

 

[Xon]

It has always done that. It could be better but I'm currently trying to update a number of other add-ons.

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

2.12.2 - Bugfix & Feature update

• Fix edge case where clicking 'mark read' on an alert or the 'all' alerts button would miss updating alerts
• Add confirmation prompt when clicking "mark read" for marking alerts as read.
• Add per-user "Prompt on bulk mark read" option. Controlled by the global "Mark-read prompt opt-out" option.

I enabled this addon after the recent updates and the issue I was having with the alerts being marked as read regardless of the settings is fixed. Thanks!


I enabled both of these but only the "Recent alert icon" works. The "Unread alert icon" doesn't do anything.

I tried changing it to fa fa-star instead of fa fa-star-exclamation but that had no impact. I also disabled Recent alert icon and left Unread alert icon enabled, and it still doesn't show.

I think it's because the icon may not exist or the path is wrong. Because when it's supposed to show fa fa-star-exclamation for "unread alert", there is not a star but rather something that looks like a placeholder for a missing icon.

Are these default icons or do they get imported with the addon? Where would I search for the icons to see if they exist? I don't see a star under smilies.

I guess fa fa = font awsome. I do have the Kirby Font Awsome Manager installed. I checked /admin.php?add-ons/Kirby-FontAwesomeManager/options and I see star in regular and solid. fa fa-star seems to be working, just not fa fa-star-exclamation. Probably because there are only two instances of exclamation -- exclamation-circle and exclamation-triangle, no star-exclamation. Is this something unique for me, or possibly the default should be changed?

I added star-exclamation right below star and it works now.

I see Kirby-FontAwesomeManager says:

If automatic is selected, the filesystem and database will be scanned for Font Awesome icon names the references found will implicitly be added to the list of icons below.

But it's been months and it never added star-exclamation. Is this a bug with this addon or the Font Awesome addon?

Show unread alert icon on alert still does nothing though.

 

[Xon]

I think it is a conflict that this add-on is storing the font-awesome icon definition in a style property and Kirby's FontAwesomeManager doesn't look at style properties as potential sources of font-awesome icons

Kirby answered here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/font-awesome-manager.195342/post-1710625, but I didn't fully understand.

If it's not possible to autodetect it, the default should probably be changed to star.

Thank you very much for the addon. This is how it will be set up, right?

I enabled both of these but only the "Recent alert icon" works. The "Unread alert icon" doesn't do anything.

With the most recent version (2.12.2) I'm now getting the same result, Recent Alert Icon works but Unread Alert Icon is not showing. I thought maybe it was just not displaying due to the icon changes with XF 2.3 but viewing source I'm not seeing a placeholder for it even.

Can anybody running XF 2.3 confirm if you're seeing the Unread Alert Icon?

 

[Xon]

Thanks for the report, I'll look into the unread vs recent alert icon bit as it has been a while since I double checked that

I just tested this and fas fa-star-exclamation still didn't load (showed an empty square, XF 2.2). I switched it to far fa-star and it works.

That is a known issue with Font-Awesome Manager add-on, look at the FAQ on how to manually add it.

Can you provide a little more detail on how you did this?

Hey @Xon,

Suppose I have 20 unread alerts—some are mentions, some are likes, and some are comments. When I click on the bell icon, all alerts are marked as read.

I believe the "Mark-read prompt opt-out" option is meant to prevent this, but by default, "Prompt on bulk mark read" is selected at the user level. As a result, many members who are unaware of this setting are facing issues. The majority of members prefer to keep their unread notifications as unread until they manually open them.

Look at the Alerting preference defaults option. This allows configuring Pop-up auto-read per-alert and also if they have an alert opt-out enabled by default.

You can also configure new-user defaults in the Default registration values option for the per-user "Alerts page options" and "Alert pop-up options" configurables

any way to change default option for existing members?

any way to change default option for existing members?

This would require executing some SQL.

To update everyone so the pop-up doesn't mark anything as read, this SQL can be used:

update xf_user_option
set sv_alerts_popup_read_behavior = 'NeverMarkRead';
