Re: [3.3][RC] Browser Push Notifications

Post by takufner »

In RC10 I got it working in iPhone, but in my desktop it stopped working!

I had to reset permissions for notifications in Chrome and enable again with the extension. Is this the correct behavior after an update?

I am already using this extension in my live forum without publicizing it to the users (only advanced user that search for the option will try it), but the moderators are using. Should I ask them to reset the permissions and start again for the new version?

Is there a way to check how many/which users have push notifications enabled?

If a lot of users enable it in my forum, will my server be pushed too hard?

Kind regards,

It depends on what version you were updating from but normally nothing stops working after an update, unless we made a change to the service worker.

You can always force everyone to have to resubscribe, if you want to for some reason, by updating the VAPID keys in the settings.

Look in the database table phpbb_wpn_push_subscriptions

That's what we're waiting to learn from users like you. But probably no.

I'm not sure if it's bug or feature, but if I set incorrectly only one icon in „Progressive web application options“ (and other icon field is empty) I don't get error message. If there is something written in both icon fields, I get the error message.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Delete content of Small and Large mobile device icon fields
  2. Use icon from „Large mobile device icon“ in „Small mobile device icon field“, or use any text (if you didn't create icons) in one field a other field leave empty.
  3. Click „Submit“ and see message:

    „Information
    Configuration updated successfully.“

    on green background.

We'll fix that but it's ok. You have to enter both icons for it to be used. If only do one, they get ignored. So it doesn't break anything, but we will fix the error messaging so users don't make this mistake.

The latest RC10 has been updated with the fix for this.

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for this extension, I've been waiting for it for a long time.

I installed the RC10 straight away, unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I use phpbb 3.3.12 with php 8.1, I have assigned the rights and can configure that the messages are active and also when I want to be notified, I have cleared the cache.

But i won't be informed about the browser. Do I need to pay attention to anything else?

I can give you the link to the Board and a Testaccount....

Did you configure your browser to show (browser)notifications (for selected sites)?

Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Hello

Thanks a lot for this extension !!

Unless I'm mistaken, no badge on the web application on Safari/iPhone.

Is this normal? Is there any development planned for this?

Thanks again.

No badges on the iOS web app. That's normal/default behavior.

Hmm as 99% of my users use iOS or MacOS I'll avoid looking into adding the extension then. Sigh.

I have had a report from one user using Chrome on Android, and a web search points to PUSH notifications as the cause. When he gets the following message he has to log in to my board again, despite having remember me checked.

This is what I found with a search link

Of course, as no one else has reported the issue so it may well be a problem with his device. Any thoughts?

Why? The whole purpose of this extension is notification/alerts.
