XF 2.3 How to enable push notifications if previously denied?

[frm]

How can a user enable push notifications if they previously denied them?

I can't find it in the user account preferences or a "reset" type button under ACP > Users for that user.

That is done in the browser.

Deleted cookies and reset permissions to ask, but it won't pop up to ask me to enable them with a popup again.

Is the only way to do it manually go in there and set Allow now?

 

[Paul B]

In Chrome, yes.

I suspect it's the same for other browsers.

Most browsers do have the setting right inside the address bar though.



I think XF asks for push notification permission on a fresh login.

I think XF asks for push notification permission on a fresh login.

It should check if the permission was reset to allow it to ask again.

What if you changed browsers? You would need to manually set it as XF wouldn't remind you again then.

If that's not the way it works, it should, and I'll move it to a suggestion. It should remember the browser you rejected it on and if you login with a new one, prompt you again.

That is how it works.

Push notifications are per device/browser.

Then, if Chrome came out with a new update, would XF ask again? Or does Chrome remember it from the first time?

Or, would it have to be an entirety new browser like Firefox to get it?

 

[frm]

Scratch that. I could've sworn it showed the browser with the IP (meaning it was logged somewhere).

That was probably done with a Security add on that I had on another site.

But, hypothetically speaking, if XF logged your browser and IP each login, and noticed you had a new version of Chrome, could it ask to enable notifications again, or does Chrome remember it the first time?

Updating Chrome to a new version doesn't reset it.

Ok. Thank you!
