Xen Notices [Deleted]

[Cyb3r]

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!

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>

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.

I feel dumb for asking this, but I couldn't find an answer. Can this display pop ups when a user receives a like or new conversation message?

It depends on user criteria, and user criteria doesn't have an options for alerts so the answer is no, unless you have a custom add-on!

Bummer. Well, thank you for the super fast response.

No problem bro, and btw i recommend you to use this add-on for pop-up notifications: GoodForNothing Notification

I'm using it and it's really awesome.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

I havn't gotten the latest update for this, any chance it could be resent Chris? Thanks

Where can I download updates?

 

[Chris D]

They are emailed to you when they are released.

They may be received by a service named "FetchApp". Search for emails from "notifications@fetchapp.com". Any email you have should have a link that will allow you to download the latest version.

Thanks!

Love it and all your work is fantastic. But I do notice that the JS loads on every page, regardless of whether there is a notification. Assuming it must load, for some reason the JS files take much longer than any other asset to load. Might be an anomaly but I've turned it off for now more because I'm not using it as much as I thought. (Have way too much going on with my pages already, lol, but perhaps we'll revisit.)

Hi Chris

Now that much of the Notifications features have been built into the XenForo core software in XenForo 1.5, I wondered if you have any plans to update this at some point so that it integrates with Notices and just adds the 'missing' features to it, or whether Notifications will remain pretty much as it is?

 

[Chris D]

Will probably update it at some point.

Hey. I just recently bought Gritter Notifications. XF 1.5 has the floating notifications stuff as well now. Is there any advantage to using this instead of the core XF 1.5 feature?

There are several things this add-on will do that aren't in the core, some of which are :

• Manage notifications from the front end as well as ACP(so moderators can use it)
• Additional 'phrases' to use in messages such as {birthdays}
• Temporary dismissal of notices (cookie-based) which can be useful for recurring notifications that you don't want permanently dismissed
• Rich texteditor for use in creating notifications (No need to type in HTML)

So it's really up to you if you think you need these extra features or not.

 

[Chris D]

There are several differences, including front end management of notifications, plus several options related to the display of notifications.

I have begun work on a version of Notifications (1.9) that requires minimum XF 1.5, and builds upon the floating notices concept in XF 1.5 and adds, basically the features Martok mentions above, to XF 1.5 floating notices.

There's no ETA for this currently.
