Xen Notices [Deleted]

[RoyalRumble]

Our home page is wordpress, it would be great to have a solution that notifies all forum users when a new article is on the home page.

I've had this plugin installed for a while and it doesn't look possible, but perhaps a future feature consideration?

 

[Chris D]

Very unlikely, to be honest.

Hi, I can't work out why I don't see notification menu in the Admin Control Panel. I see it's option entry and permission entries.

I have been able to make Notification Center appear on Nav Tab and create notifications etc, so it all seems to be installed fine.

 

[Chris D]

Your Administrator account likely doesn't have the Manage Notifications permission.

Admin CP > Administrators > Your Name > Manage Notifications

Thanks Chris, looks like it was forgotten, will get my install/admin guy to configure it. Really appreciate the speedy response.

Is it possible to hide the notification from a specific page like for example forum_view?

 

[Chris D]

It uses the same criteria as Notices, so no.

Chris D updated Notifications with a new update entry:

Small fix for the "Please enter a valid value" error

@Chris D I've bought this addon and have version 1.8.0. How do I get the update? I can only press the 'Buy' button.
Thanks in advance!

 

[Chris D]

They will trickle through eventually. The emails have been sent.

 

[Axel B]

Ah sorry, m8. Was too impatient I guess Thanks!

Hey @Chris D, i have installed this and added 2 notifications then i uninstalled it to debug some issue with some error along side with other add-ons, now i re-installed the add-on but i couldn't find my previous notifications which is still there but i can't see them in CP or notifications center, they are still showing on the main board fine, any idea how to solve this?

 

[Chris D]

I suspect that's a bug.

However, in the first instance just create a new Notification and then delete it. That should rebuild the caches and stop any Notifications from showing.

Yeah that did the trick but i hoped to retrieve my old notifications, I also didn't have to delete anything just added the new one and the previous is gone.

I have one suggestion though, if you can provide a preview button to show the notification live to the admin or the maker in the notification center that would be nice.

Regards.

Uninstalling the add on removes all the data so losing it after uninstalling is expected. There is a bug that doesn't invalidate the cache on uninstall though.

Thank you and never mind for my last suggestion i didn't notice the preview button!

@Chris D

Sorry to be a pain but I'd like to know why I can't seem to get the FB Page Plugin code working within a notification.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin

The FB SDK JS is included on all pages, but for some reason the notification doesn't pick it up, and only shows a text link to the FB page instead of the like box.

Example code for the notification below:

<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/XenForo" data-width="300" data-small-header="false" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true" data-show-posts="false"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/XenForo"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/XenForo">XenForo</a></blockquote></div></div>

 

[Chris D]

It's likely just simply not supported, unfortunately.

Although some JS will work inside Notifications, generally I would only recommend using HTML in them.

Hey @Chris D, I tried to add link with an overlay but it takes me to the link without showing the overlay, so i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong?

Here's the link i used:

<a href="account/avatar" class="OverlayTrigger">click here</a>

 

[Chris D]

That kind of thing won't work in Notifications, unfortunately.

Interestingly it will work in the new XF 1.5 floating notices feature, though.
