Xen Notices [Deleted]

[Chris D]

So basically the answer to my question is no?

Yeah basically. Suggestion noted, though. I'll see if it's possible to extend the behaviour for guests but I'm guessing it isn't.

You did it? Ability to control cookie duration in the latest version?

Just confirming before moving away from Notifications to Xen Notices.

THANKS! Yay.

 

[Chris D]

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.

What is the difference between this and XF Notices?

 

[Chris D]

Just basically what is described in the Resource description:

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)

Thanks, a nice way for birthday notices is interesting, would this work with sending them a congratulatory message as well?

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.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/CSP

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

 

[Chris D]

It's all just there in the CSS the data that follows is the encoded data for the image.

@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.

Exactly the issue I am seeing.

@Chris D have you managed to take a look at this?

 

[Chris D]

Not yet.

Specifically, the error is:

ErrorException: Undefined index: title - library/XenNotices/Listener.php:20

If you don't see this error being logged in, you may not actually need to update.

• Fixes 'undefined index title' exception under some cases

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?
