Xen Notices [Deleted]

[Chris D]

I feel stupid, I haven't been around in a while and doing an overhaul of my forum add-ons and updating them, @Chris D can you please tell me where I can get the new file for this? I tried all your websites first, etc. etc. and checked my email box. I couldn't find it anywhere, so just need the new version please.

It would be emailed to your PayPal email account.

If you still can't find it, you'll need to give me some details so that I can find it.

Ah thanks that is a great way of managing it

 

[Chris D]

Chris D updated Notifications with a new update entry:

Small update: Adds missing container params

This update re-adds the ability to use some container params in the GritterNotifications template, e.g. $contentTemplate

Read the rest of this update entry...

There are a way with your addon to create larger notification box like this?

 

[Chris D]

In theory, yes. But you would need to have the HTML and CSS skills to do so.

 

[Markos]

Can i insert js content inside the notification? I have the idea to use it for a little form (for newsletter registering).

 

[Chris D]

Most JS should be ok. I have seen mixed results with this, though.

Do you have an example of the JS you'd need to insert. I'd be happy to try it for you and let you know.

I want to create a notification like this (if you try to close the window o change website you will see a notification). In my case, i want a notification that will ask users to register to get a special bonus...

Also, i'm interested to know if it's possible to create a different notification by node (i want to use the Xencentral Multisite), like this:
http://www.hostingtalk.it/forum/

(I think a bigger notification will generate major results...)

 

[Chris D]

The notifications allow you to enter any HTML including JS in <script> tags. I added some basic JS:



So, basically, if you know the JS code you want to use it should be possible to use it in the Notification and produce the results you want.

The criteria used to display Notifications is identical to Notices etc. So you can target specific Notifications to specific nodes with different styling.

The styling is really flexible. Some of the stuff that @Shelley has done is great: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/notifications-gamer-fluid-grey-v2.2033/

 

[Markos]

Great to know...very good work (Shelley is fantastic!). I know with styling you can change appareance...but you can also change the position and the size of the notification? Can i create a notification that opens in the center of window?

 

[Chris D]

Yes, that's possible with CSS too.

For example, each notification has a unique ID so you could do something like this:

#gritter-item-2 .gritter-item
{
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-top: -150px;
    margin-left: -250px;
    width: 500px;
    height: 300px;
}

The beauty of this add-on is, is it's so simple. You can create a notification, display it anywhere, with any colour, and text, and loads more options. But the beauty of the add-on also is how powerful it is.

Obviously the powerful stuff (JS, advanced styling etc) requires work and knowledge to get it to where you want it, but it would be worth the effort.

 

[Markos]

Bought.

@Chris D I'm getting this error:

Please enter a value using 1500 characters or fewer.

How can I increase that value?

 

[Chris D]

You can't really...

Does a notification that size even fit the screen?

 

[Chris D]

In library/GritterNotifications/DataWriter/Notification.php it is likely defined in there on the test field. Look for maxValue.

 

[Lee123456789]

@Chris D how difficult is it to change the stacking order? so instead of this for "bottom-left":


I can get this "for bottom-left":



is this even possible?
thanks in advance!......

 

[Chris D]

It would require changes to the JS code so not really possible.

 

[Lee123456789]

@Chris D thanks!
I thought that might be the case, so what about adding a "center/user defined" option?
ie:
bottom left
bottom right
center/user defined
top left
top right

is that something that I could do? or something you may concider for a future release?

thanks in advance
Lee

I have setup a notice for today's Birthdays but for some reason it is not showing the Birthday for today? It shows in my side block but not as a notice.



This is how I have it setup

Does it appear if you log out and log back in?
