[ABD] [BETA] Active Notifications

[DesignerMix]

...
The line you need is 92 in controller/main_controller.php
...

i edit 78, 82 and 92 line from controller/main_controller.php, now it seems to be working. Thanks for yor work and advice. If found any another problem i tell about them (if it needed).

I have this problem with routes ... this is why this extension is hardly worked on.
...
There the url is generated. It's as hackish as it can be and it is made to work in few cases ... problem is I'm not sure how to make it work in general case.

I try to help with this problem. If found any solution i let you know.

Nice ext!
I found that script_path is missing.

ext/anavaro/activenotifications/controller/main_controller.php

Code: Select all

$tmp['U_MARK_READ'] = $this->config['server_protocol'] . $this->config['server_name'] . '/index.php?' . $mark[1];

replace with

Code: Select all

$tmp['U_MARK_READ'] = $this->config['server_protocol'] . $this->config['server_name'] . $this->config['script_path'] . '/index.php?' . $mark[1];

Code: Select all

$tmp['URL'] = $this->config['server_protocol'] . $this->config['server_name'] . '/' . implode('/', $url);

replace with

Code: Select all

$tmp['URL'] = $this->config['server_protocol'] . $this->config['server_name'] . $this->config['script_path'] . '/' . implode('/', $url);

I will take a look in few days - I'm working on new upload method in the gallery (want to add some beautiful upload options) ... once done I will move to fix this.

I would like use with the bootlike theme, is possible?

Probably, but you will have to do some manual changes.

[SalazarAG]

The avatar does not appear when the page does not update
Could support the canvas style?

Nope - this extension is as simplified as possible. Just didn't add the avatar URL because it was a hacky affair.

Hi! I adapted the ext to work with Comboot Bootstrap-Theme. Though that is not completely true, because only the update of the unread.toString() to the title worked at all and I added a little badge to show the unread notifications count to the forum with a link to reload page - instead of trying to update the whole notifications with the known drawbacks. I figured it be enough to know there are new messages and add another click to reload and then open the original notifications.

However - now my problem, wich is probably not related to my changes at all: when the extension is running while I am idle at the forum, after a while I get logged out. This happens all the time, but only after a long idle time. Still it breaks the extensions functionality because when logged out no more notifications are show, while it looks like I am still logged in. Is this a known issue and if yes, can that be fixed?

Anonther question: I saw the pull request at Github and also the same report here in the forum about the path in main_controller.php I applied that change to the code but it broke the extension. What is that suggested change supposed to fix? viewtopic.php?p=14338421#p14338421

Here is the function I changed, everything else is as found on github....

Code: Select all

function parse(response)
	{
		var unread = response.unread;
		var notifs = response.notifs;
		var output = '';

		// Generate Unread-Badge (_ki)
		if (unread > 0)
		{
		$('#update_ki').html(function(n){
            return "<a class='badge' title='Es gibt " + unread.toString() + " ungelesene Benachrichtigung(en), hier klicken um diese Seite neu zu laden' href='#' onClick='window.location.reload();return false;'>" + unread.toString() + "</a>";
        });
		}
		// Now let's set window title
		if (unread > 0)
		{
			var docTitleWithNote;
			docTitleWithNote = '(' + unread.toString() + ')' + docTitle;
			document.title = docTitleWithNote;
		}
		else
		{
			var docTitleWithNote;
			docTitleWithNote = docTitle;
			document.title = docTitleWithNote;
		}
	}

#update_ki is an empty div placed in a fixed position in the forum. The above content is delivered to that div if there are unread notifications and shows their amount in the badge and the title-text for the mouseover.

It makes sense, that this has to do with the cookies-part of the ext. Would it maybe help to create a completely unique cookie-name instead of adding a suffix to the phpbb-cookie-name? (From looking at the code it seems that is how it is done...)

I will surely try this, but I don't think this is related ...

Do you have any idea how long does it take to log you off?

----

I've pushed a small patch that I think will do the trick ... but still not sure.

All ajax/active notifications empties auto-login cookie on my forum after few hours or few days. Without this extension auto-login cookie works fine.

Same as:

All ajax/active notifications empties auto-login cookie on my forum after few hours or few days. Without this extension auto-login cookie works fine.

"few hours to a few days"

It seems the longer someone has the forum-page open the faster they get logged out. Esp. the chatters where confronted with the issue most frequently.

I cannot test anymore because I had to find a quick solution. So I switched to "tas2580/ajaxnotification" that one does not work with cookies. I reduced the reload frequency to 360sec to lower serverload. I believe not many people in our forum leave more than one window open and if some do with the setting of 6 minutes it is more than balanced.

With either ext I also took out the refresh of the notifications themselves - there is only a little badge to show new messages and users have to reload the page themselves.

What I tried to accomplish though, but did not succeed, was this: the original notification count would be updated and on opening the notifications modal the page would be reloaded and the modal shown. I mention this because it might be an alternative approach to get around all those issues with notifications layout, avatars etc. Also I suppose only retrieving the count instead of building the notification content every time even when not needed would reduce serverload quite a bit.

Hello everybody ... I forgot to mention that there is new version of the extension. More stable.

Client side is rewritten by Kasimi

The extension is more stable and most of the bugs are out ... all of the reported that is ... Update and enjoy ...
