Xen Notices [Deleted]

[LuvMeSumZen]

Old thread I realize but relevant .... I'm using the suggested html but the code is visible instead of providing a link:



Running XF 1.5.9 and using Chris' Xen Notices add-on but don't see why that would effect this. Any ideas?

In Xen Notices if you have entered or pasted the HTML code directly into the HTML editor like this:



Then that will come out as text.

All you need to do to create a link is type the text you want, like this:



And then highlight the text and click the link button in the editor and then paste the URL you want:



After clicking Insert, the highlighted text will turn into a link.

Thanks Chris. Your replies are always detailed the first time - much appreciated.

The Ask question / get support link doesn't work?

Where do I download the latest version of this please? I purchased a while back.

 

[Chris D]

The Buy Now button takes you there too, but I've fixed those other links, thanks.

Is there a way to add polls to notices?

 

[Chris D]

No.

 

[Poindexter]

Darn it.

Request Preset/Copy Feature for Time Saving
For me it's tedious to not forget and set all preferences for each new notice. Is it possible to copy an existing notice or set a preset for each new notice? Some helping function would be a time saver.

Or at least by a manual Template Modification (set selected checkboxes active)?

A "duplicate notice" button... that's what I often wished for...

I'm just starting to prepare for XF2.0 and work out which addons we need to wait for.

Am I right that most of this functionality is now core in XF2? (and even in XF1).

No. All of the bulleted points at the top of the main resource description are not part of the core in either XF1.5 or XF2.0. The only thing (I think) that was incorporated from the original Notifications add-on into the core was the floating notice style.

I was under the impression that notices in the core now incorporated a lot of the notifications functionality (floating notice, token replacement, etc)?

Feature Summary

• Permission controlled management of notices on the front end
• Edit your notice content with a proper HTML editor, powered by Redactor
• Additional tokens for replacement inside notices including {board_url}, {board_title}, {page_title} and more
• Easy custom styling of floating notices using the XenForo colour picker
• Display a floating notice every day showing "Today's Birthdays"
• Automatic notice reset system. Allow your notices to be automatically reset every X (hours|days|weeks|months)

None of these features are included in XF 1.5 or 2.0 as standard

Floating notice - yes (as mentioned already)
Token replacement - no (only {name} is in the core, I have tested this)

As I said, and @Chris D has confirmed, all of those bullet points are a feature of this add-on.

I'm hoping it won't be too long after the release of XF2.0 before a compatible version of this is released (and I'd be happy to pay an upgrade fee and/or ongoing subscription) as I use several of the features.

 

[RobParker]

Thanks guys

Does this part of the addon description need to be updated @Chris D ?

How to download Xen Notices
Xen Notices is completely free to existing Notifications users, but the distribution of the add-on is moving to Xen Resources. To claim your free Xen Notices licenses, you will need to register at Xen Resources, and click the "Claim License" button (just above the Add to Cart button).

You will need your FetchApp order number and the email address it was sent to. You will have been sent an email with these details a fairly large number of times. The email subject will be similar to "Downloads for Order 854450387174967" and the email will be sent from notifications@fetchapp.com.

Once you populate your order number and email address, the license will be automatically assigned to you. If you are unable to for whatever reason, then start a conversation with me with as many details as possible.

 

[Chris D]

Nope, that's still relevant to any one who previously owned the old "Notifications" add-on.

Have you downloaded it yet? You download it from the site you ordered from after entering your site title and URL:

https://xenresources.com/products/xen-notices.4/licenses

Yes I have...

Trouble is -- I'm not getting any styling

Try saving the notice again, without making any changes, and that should rebuild its cache.
