You did it? Ability to control cookie duration in the latest version?
Just confirming before moving away from Notifications to Xen Notices.
THANKS! Yay.
Yep 
It works slightly differently to how it did in Notifications, still, though.
The main difference being how notice dismiss cookies are stored as a single cookie, not a cookie for each notice. This may be possible to override in the future, but for now what it means is that if this value is set to 7 days, and a guest dismisses a notice, then in 6 days time they dismiss another notice, both those notices will remain dismissed for an additional 7 days.
You can have Xen Notices and Notifications installed side by side, so I guess you just need to verify it will work how you want it before moving your notifications over to notices.

Hi Chris, thx for the nice update. I was wondering if i can make a notice for example like a welcome back notice after a member re-login. And only showing after login and not popup after a refresh or random siteclick.

I have already install notifications 1.8.1 from 1.4.x and after upgrade to 1.5 seems to work.
Do i have to install xen notices? Are there any pictures to see the differences between them?

Xen Notices integrates with the existing Notice system. It has pretty much all of the functionality of Notifications (plus some improvements like the birthday notice). I have installed it and uninstalled Notifications. However, you can actually run both add-ons to see if you are have to switch to the new one.

@Chris D , where does the redactor editor pulls it's icon images from? It seams like this is getting blocked by my CSP implementation to my server.

On the css template all I see is a blob that starts with: data:image/png;base64

@Chris D I have just installed Xen Notices on my test setup and have run into an issue. Under the old notifications system when a guest dismissed a notice it was dismissed until the browser restarted. With Xen Notices (even if cookie dismiss duration = 0) the notice is displayed on every page refresh even if dismissed. If I disable Xen Notices and use XF 1.5 notices only it works as expected, ie browser session.
Has anyone else reported this?

Actually I've just noticed the same thing now that you have reported it. My guest notice which is dismissable reappears on every page load on my site for guests. When Xen Notices is disabled, it disappears for the session.

Hi Chris, I've been interested in this add on for a while but can't quite work out what it will offer me in terms of functions in notices of XF 1.5 and above.
I have a large number of notices and have just refreshed visibility design to have 4 main classes to ensure notices are identical across multiple non parented skins. This involves multiple extra.css edits and strings of html and font awesome graphics within the notices themselves.
But, my biggest bugbear is not being able to see each notice and how it's delivered once I've changed to the required criteria options.
How would this add on help me?

Doesn't sound like it would really do anything to help you.
