Xen Notices [Deleted]

[Chris D]

That's no worries then. It's just something that happens when files are being uploaded. I guess it's just how your FTP app and web server handle the transition from the old file to the new file or something.

Ok thanks

@Chris D and @Russ - when I updated my custom style, the notifications stopped appearing. I double checked all the user criteria, saved again, and it works in the preview - but when I logout of the site and even clear browser cache, the notification still doesn't appear anymore.

i don't receive any errors or anything, i just don't get the lil pop up i created for the bottom right corner.

is it a possible template conflict? should I reinstall? do i need to upgrade the addon?

thanks.

edit - ps - i'm on version 1.72...

I can take a look but I don't think any hooks were effected, not sure if he uses the Template Modification system.

I'd try on the default style to see if it is the custom style, if they show on there get me access privately and I can take a look.

 

[Chris D]

You need to upgrade to the latest version of Notifications to solve the issue.

 

[drastic]

@Chris D can you inbox me with where to get the updated version?

Thanks

 

[Chris D]

You get it from your email. Any email you have ever received about it contains a download link.

 

[drastic]

got it.

updated.

no worky.

@Russ - i've emailed you admin access info. if you don't mind taking a look, that'd be great.

 

[drastic]

@Chris D - anything else i could try to get this working again?

 

[Chris D]

I didn't see your post, sorry.

"No worky" doesn't give me a lot to go on...

 

[drastic]

haha. sorry. i wasn't sure how else to word it. the preview works, but we can't get it to work on the user side.

i have user criteria set to display the notification for guests only. i log out, clear cache/cookies in the browser, and it doesn't arrive.

it used to! but has since stopped.

russ is checking to see if there's a template issue, as we're using a custom style. i think that might be the issue. probably a small line of code needs to be reverted/added...etc

 

[Chris D]

If it's the site on your profile, that seems unlikely.

I can see everything I would expect to see in the HTML source:

<div id="GritterContainer" class="baseHtml">

</div>

Inside that div should be the actual code for the notifications, but there are none.

Please create a new notification with absolutely no criteria. Let's see if that shows. Then we'll go from there.

 

[drastic]

made a new notification.

no criteria.

only added a required text.

preview works.

nothing shows on user end.

edit- viewed source, saw the same html you posted, with nothing in between the divs.

 

[Chris D]

If you send me a full admin logon I'll look into it for you.

 

[Chris D]

got it.

updated.

no worky.

@Russ - i've emailed you admin access info. if you don't mind taking a look, that'd be great.

You haven't updated. You're still running 1.7.2...

 

[drastic]

o.m.g...i ran an update the other day, after you reminded me it was in email. it must not have completed.

so it works now.

thanks a ton @Chris D and @Russ

@Chris D , Would it be at all possible with the Birthday notification (Today's Birthdays) to have a cut off date for inactivity as I am finding it is listing members that have not been around for years.

 

[Chris D]

It uses the same XenForo code that displays birthdays on the http://xenforo.com/community/members/ members page.

 

[Falkor]

Yes I noticed that from the Widget that also displays the Birthdays

You could use the User Criteria add-on which has these two criteria:

• user hasn't logged on in X days;
• user hasn't posted for at least X days

Use one of those to add inactive users to a new user group. You can then use the criteria to exclude users in this group from having their birthday displayed.
