Xen Notices [Deleted]

Chris, this is proving to be an award winning release :D

I definitely think that there should be a mention of the 'example notices' that have been suggested throughout this thread already. (I see you've added Shelley's so far) And, I think that there should be (if there isn't already) a set of predefined notices within the system to be 'enabled' whenever a new admin/site owner purchases this release.

Predefined notices such as the "Birthday notice", "Welcome notice", "Trophy notice(s)", etc. (y)

It can, I posted above.

It requires the same permissions as notices. Just give your other admins the Manage notices permission:

Administrator.webp

Also, incidentally, you could give this to moderators too.

If you have a moderator, and you want them to manage notices you can use the Add New Administrator screen above to give them the Manage notices screen. They become "an administrator" but aside from the ability to log in to Admin CP and manage notices/notifications, they get no extra permissions if you don't add them to any special usergroup.

So if you've got an Admins only forum, making someone an Administrator doesn't give them access to that forum unless you add them to the Administrator group.

So essentially, your Moderator can log in to Admin CP, and technically be an admin, but all they see is this:

Moderator.webp

For some reason "Tools" is available, but there's only "Facebook Test" and "File Integrity" in there so nothing that can do any damage.
 
I think I semi broke Chris' addon here, but I finally managed to replace the avatar image with another. To do so, I had to close a div class earlier than expected, and open a new one after that. That might be a bug that I can do that, but a bug I like.

Anyway, to do it, add this into your text:
Code: 
Lorem ipsum dolor</div>
<div class="noticeTrophy"><img src="path/to/picture.png" alt="Bronze" />

Now what this does is that it closes <div class="gritter-with-image"> before the text is "done", then opens a new div, but never closes it. That way everything solves it self, in the end.

For the CSS, I used Shelleys resource here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/notification-card-gamer.872/

I used a custom class, added two classes: gamerTrophy gamer
gamer to apply the styling from Shelly, gamerTrophy to allow me to position my image in the noticeTrophy class using CSS:
Code: 
.gamerTrophy .noticeTrophy {
  margin-left: 70px !important;
  margin-top: 30px;
  width: 96px !important;
  height: 96px !important;
  border: 1px solid #242424;
  padding: 3px;
  background: #383838;
  border-radius: 3px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  left: 10px;
}
.gamerTrophy .noticeTrophy img {
  width: 96px;
  height: 96px;
}
.gamerTrophy .gritter-image {
  opacity: 0;
}
The last one, with opacity, is just hiding the avatar image. The result:
trophy.webp
My idea was to use this for trophy notices, as you can see. It is also a subtle hint to Chris about a new feature I kinda want.....

EDIT:
I see now I have the positions not totally figured out yet, but the basics are there, it just needs some tweaking....
 
Very much considering buying this add-on...
Will have to see what I can do about design, though. Going to need some custom ones for my site :(

Glad you're considering it :D

Shelley is very much so proving it to be very customisable so I'm sure something can be done to meet your site's design. I just wish I could help more with that kind of thing :(

No worries! I'm holding off for now until our new theme is farther along or complete so that we can skin the notifications to be similar :)
 
is it possible to change the function of the "X"Unbenannt.webp

in the notification to: end showing it for the whole session?

now it will show again on every new pageload, wich makes it more or less useless.

It isn't useless, it's to close the notification, for example if it's in the user's way.

If you want to dismiss the notification, then you need to set the notification as "Dismissible" in the notification options. After that, a Dismiss Notification link will appear which can be used to dismiss the notification permanently.
 
Or do you guys see benefit in the close button being "temporary dismiss"?

I can see about creating a cookie on close. Maybe with a configurable amount of time in the Admin CP (possibly)

If the cookie exists, the notification stays hidden. If it's no longer valid, the notification will reappear.

Let me know your thoughts, peoples (y)

Yep, good ideas ArnyVee.

I am going to be promoting its possible uses a little bit more, and will probably add some more examples to my website over the next few days.

First though: NEW FEATURES COMING SOON! :D

Looking forward for the next release and new features. Awesome work if I haven't mentioned that already Chris. :)
