Persistent Alerts [Paid] 2.7.1

[Xon]

update it looks like the ACP setting works BUT the user setting being unchecked should be checked (even though it works as if it was checked already). This can be confusing for users looking to turn this off to see that it's already unchecked (when technically it's checked in the backend).

You'll need todo a bulk SQL query to opt in all users

update xf_user_option set sv_persistent_alert = 1

update xf_user_option set sv_persistent_alert = 1

So just to be sure have you tried it? Since I created a brand new user and it's still doing it even after the ACP setting was already set.

From my understanding, that mysql query is for accounts made "before" the addon was installed and settings setup right?

 

[Xon]

For new users you need to adjust the "User registration" option, and tick "Generate new alerts without reading threads" on that options page

My Thread Starter Alerts add-on runs on https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/ and https://forums.spacebattles.com/ both of are very active sites and performs quite well.

Where is this addon now? I can't find it.

 

[Xon]

My Thread starter add-on is currently not for sale. I'm hopeful I can re-release it in the next few months.

I have a member saying they didn't get an alert when someone mentioned them. It didn't show up in his alerts in the navbar. I'm wondering if it's because of the settings I have in place for Persistent Alerts:



And just to clarify, the user was mentioned in a thread and he has all his alert preferences checked, so it looks like he should have got an alert for being mentioned, but didn't.

This doesn't wouldn't be invoked when user mentions happen.

If it was mentions, make sure the post mentioning that user didn't mention too many other users. By default there is a limit on how many a single post can mention.

That isn't the issue, he was the only one mentioned. But good to know - I didn't realize there was a limit on that.

Installed this add on and Alerts still aren't firing on every reply. Any suggestions?

but xenforo doesn't alert you about this failure.

Suggestion: if a post contains excessive mentions, notify the poster via a notification.

Check the global options, by default it only alerts if you do not have any unread alerts for a thread

@Xon is there any chance you would consider adding an option:

There is also an option to allow user's to opt in/out of the feature. If you don't enable this option, all users will be opted in. If you enable it, they are opted out by default but can opt in via the "alert preferences" page in the account section.​

I would love the choice to give users the option (persistent or no) but have the default behavior be persistent.

From the user's point of view, does this just create one new option under 'Push notifications'? If so, it would be good to organise this so people know it's the way to get more emails.

 

[Xon]

The per-user option is added just above the "push notifications" section. It might depend on Alert Improvements for the particular chunk it adds

 

[Hilary]

Just below, for me.

More important - the add-on also changes behaviour so the link takes you to the post in the alert, not the first unread post. It would be great if you could make that optional.

Hello
I've got Persistent Alerts installed and one of my longtime users indicated to me that while they are getting emails for all of their subscribed Nodes/Threads, the links in those emails are taking them to the first unread post in the thread, and not the post that is in the email. Is there a way to modify that? Is it a template or something?
Thanks in advance!

I've just noticed that this happens, I assumed it was standard but I now see it could be due to this addon. I'll do some more testing

 

[Xon]

It looks like XF2.3 broke the template modifications used for patching the email links, should have a fix done on Monday
