Xen Notices [Deleted]

[cdub]

I'm trying to use this notification as a way to get the bounce rate down on my site. Hopefully it'll work. The site gets a good amount of traffic from Google but people seem to usually find the answer on the page they come to and then leave the site to go somewhere else without browsing the rest of the site.

I'm using this:



I think the following in delaying the notification by 3 seconds will hopefully work well.





I'll see how the bounce rate improves over the week and report back.

It's currently around 68% which seems high.

Ok, no data really yet on how it's affecting bounce rate but I recently changed it with this prompting people to log in and register:



I figured why not kill 2 birds? Reduce the bounce rate AND increase registrations.

The only problem I'm having is I can't seem to figure out how to get the register link to make the popup appear like when you click log in in the top right of the site. I copied the HTML code from that section but I must not have done it right.

Any suggestions on hoe to fix?

To the best of my recollection, it won't work.

The "OverlayTrigger" won't get registered because of how the notifications are rendered. I think a future version of Notifications may work quite differently in how the Notifications are rendered so this won't be a problem, then.

Doh. That's a shame. Oh well... it still works as a page... but it'd be nice to have that window come up.

Are there clear advantages to using this over the core notice system?

Well what I like (but time will tell if it makes a difference) is that you can delay when it comes up. I have mine delaying by 3 seconds so your eye gets drawn to it.

@cdub any improvement in bounce rates or registrations?

Too early to tell.

@Chris D I have just installed this on my forum using UI.X Style . I have it set to show at the top right (It does the same no matter where I place it) and it looks like this. It also does not act as a sticky when you scroll up or down and just stays in this position. Now I am not sure if this one would be for you or @Mike Creuzer, it does work as it should on the default style.

Im waiting for Chris to answer me on something.

Are you? What?

It was a serious question... I don't know what the question was?

I've trawled through some posts and found my name mentioned. Don't know why I didn't see it before.

I'm not immediately planning any updates for Notifications at the moment, but this may improve things, I guess, if the content being in the main container is a problem. This change requires debug mode to be enabled. It can be disabled again after:

Admin CP > Appearance > Template Modifications > Notifications > PAGE_CONTAINER

The "Find" field is currently:

<xen:include template="notices" />

Change it to:

<xen:include template="page_container_js_body" />

Save.

Is this something that I need to do then?

 

[Chris D]

You could try it then we'll know if it's a possible longer term solution.

 

[DaveM]

Of will give it a go when I am back at my PC and will let you know

Sorry I had a look but this is far beyond what I can do

 

[Chris D]

It's actually very simple. What did you get stuck on?

Notifications don't show on UI.Flex pages with Sidebar.
Do you see that issue @Mike Creuzer ?
