XF 2.2 Limit notice appearance

[El Porcharo]

I've set a floating notice to encourage those users which request to become a member but then never participate to topics (they don't either leave likes to other participating members).

The notice is set to appear to those users which are members since at least 15 days and have posted less than 10 messages.

Lately I'm seeing that some of them start posting at a certain point, but they already meet the notice criteria when this happens. This means that they would get annoyed by this notice on every page load, until they don't reach the minimum number of messages

So now I'm afraid this is going to even discourage those ones that was thinking about starting participating by never come back again...

I wanted to limit the number of times this floating notice appear, but I see there is nothing like this in the notice criteria.

So is there any workaround that would allow me to set something like "don't load notice for more than X time for each user session"? This could be set to 3 (for example) and the usesr would just get annoyed for 3 times, until they goes offline and comes back aga..

There is nothing built in which will do that.

 

[El Porcharo]

Alright, thank you Paul!

I'll see if I can manage it in another manner

A couple things. You could make the notice dismissable. You could lower the threshold of the notice as well as/or use trophies to award them for posts and reactions at the lower end of the spectrum successively. "Congrats on your third post, keep it going!" Etc.

You could make the notice dismissable

Yep, I know, but I'm afraid this is going to be a one-time-view and the got dismissed. So it will not do its job.. Unless I keep resetting the notice every day, but this is quite unthinkable

A sort of "notice auto reset" would be the thing

 

[beerForo]

Well you could have incremental notices that are all dismissible, 1-5 posts, 6-10, 11-15.

The notices don't get annoying if it's a scrolling one at the top and especially if 10> posts. They know your forum by now. They're staying.

Make another notice and say if they get x posts they get another upgraded name badge (use user groups for that).

And that can go on for 500+ posts get access to a private forum and a name badge and no notice ever regarding posts again. ,

A work around.

@El Porcharo can you change solution to mine? NEVER had one chosen yet not even on my own gardening forum ha

 

[El Porcharo]

Well, I've still actually haven't tried it, and I'm afraid it's quite inapplicable on my board, since I don't have user promotions and neither I have a private forum
Plus, the notice must be visible to users with LESS than 10 posts, so I'm not sure that you got exactly what I need

Therefore, it's not actually a solution for me

Looked to me like a very good solution.
