Xen Notices [Deleted]

[The Dark Wizard]

I found the order that I believe to be yours, knowing what your real name is (or at least your first name plus last name initial), and according to the order history the emails have been sent and you even downloaded 1.7.0 last night. If that's correct, please see my post above.

Got it!

I did indeed download something yesterday, it was really late and the email had been accidentally moved to spam so I didn't see it later today.

Thanks :3

I'm sorry Chris but I'm now having problems since the upgrade. When I created a new notification, I noticed that it didn't display after saving it (though it did show in the preview). Re-creating it didn't solve it. I then noticed that the guest notice wasn't showing when I was logged out, no it seems that no notifications are showing.

I've tried re-uploading and upgrading several times. I've disabled all other add-ons. I've rebuilt the master data, all to no avail. I've checked the page for errors but there aren't any. I'm at a complete loss as to why it's not showing notifications at all. Any ideas what I should do next?

You appear to be the only person experiencing this.

Double check the criteria for all notifications, check if there are any outdated templates, clear your cookies (or try in a different browser), restore dismissed notifications, reset notifications.

@Martok, is this at SeniorGamers? If so, clearing your cache won't do any good if it is installed at the time I posted this. I visited there and it didn't display. If nothing else, try totally removing the add-on, deleting the associated files and then re-installing.
What I would do in that situation is totally remove (after copying my current forum structure to a .bak and exporting the current DB - that way I could restore it all if that didn't resolve the problem) with a fresh install. But I am also know to go the long way around to fix something.

Sorry I should have said, I've done all of that too.

I've even created a new notification with no criteria ie it should show to everyone, but still nothing.

I guess that uninstalling and reinstalling as @Tracy Perry suggests is now the only option?

 

[Chris D]

You could try that if it isn't too much trouble. You could export your xf_notification and xf_notification_dismissed tables first. If reinstalling makes no difference you could always just re-import those tables.

Struggling to envisage what could be causing this...

Have you disabled all notifications apart from a single one with no criteria?

 

[Chris D]

Wait a minute... do you have Notices switched off completely?

 

[Martok]

Bingo!

Switching Notices back on has made the notifications appear again!

Does Notifications 1.7.x require Notices to be enabled? The previous version didn't and as I wasn't using the standard Notices system, I switched it off.

 

[Chris D]

Yes.

The code was all handled in template hooks before. They are deprecated and although they work now, I can't guarantee they'll stay working.

So I basically use the notices_prepare event now. It has access to the PAGE_CONTAINER template, a template object and container data. Basically everything I need all in one place.

I guess the only "down side" is that it requires Notices to be enabled. But, at the same time, having Notices enabled has no adverse effects, no additional query overhead on page load, etc.

 

[Martok]

Yes.

Sorry, I'm slightly confused here. You say "Yes" that Noticed need to be enabled, but in your last sentence you say that Notices need to be disabled. Please can you clarify?

If Notices do indeed need to be enabled, you might want to add that to the resource description.

 

[Chris D]

Typo. Yes, notices need to be enabled.

 

[Martok]

Typo. Yes, notices need to be enabled.

Anyway, thanks for sorting this before I attempted an uninstall and reinstall. I guess then that I'm the only Notifications user who had switched off Notices. Either that or the only one so far to discover that it doesn't work when it's switched off.

I'm sad. Didn't save my last download email and I'm not getting any new ones. Checked spam. :hiding:

Forgot it was sent to my paypal email. I'm an idiot, and hiding under a rock now.

 

[Chris D]

The email I have on file for you is accounting@...

Have you been checking the right email account?

The URL above appears to be working now.

Has this happened only once or does it keep happening?

The time the error was logged, was that roughly the time you were perhaps uploading updated files?

 

[Sunka]

Just happened once.
No uploading anything, I was not on forum on that time.

 

[Chris D]

The reason I asked is Line 47 as mentioned in the error is far from the end of the file as the error suggests. So it's usually indicative of some sort of file system error such as you might get if a file was only partially uploaded.

If it has only happened once, it's probably nothing to worry about. Let me know if it happens again.

I've got a template error:

Template Errors: PAGE_CONTAINER
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xfliam/public_html/library/XenForo/Template/Abstract.php(265) : eval()'d code, line 591:
590:     ';
591: foreach ($notifications AS $notificationId => $notification)
592: {

It appeared after I added a notification for a specific forum node. That appeared on the forum list.

EDIT: The template error appears in the node the notification is set to appear in.

Yeah think I caught that last night.
