Bro, very cool. I was just thinking about this the other day as I noticed a few websites prompted me with a small popup if I wanted to be notified. Interesting, Im going to try this and see whats up

SMF 2.1 can do this but not with push notifications. Though I love how your first reaction is not “oh, a cool new thing” but essentially a criticism.

I had tried to use 2.1 but only on localhost and that's not the real feeling how 2.1 behaves comparing to 2.0.15 which is our current version on our community, so I did not noticed that quote notifications are implemented on 2.1. $:-\$
I had no intention to write criticism, I was just curious about the mods which are supported by "push notifications".

Great, that's what I was looking for. Now to test it on a test site and see if it's what I need... Thank you for your work @vbgamer45!

Regards!

The who quoted mod is in the approval process as well.

I originally did the push notifications system for create a forum but then realized the service I used did not support wildcard dns subdomains without having it setup for each.

I can add some more notifications and toggles to turn then on and off depending on feedback.

Hey bro, whats' the difference between your mod and this tiny script you can add into the index.template in the <head> section taken from their website?

Code: [Select]

<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
<script src="https://cdn.onesignal.com/sdks/OneSignalSDK.js" async=""></script>
<script>
  var OneSignal = window.OneSignal || [];
  OneSignal.push(function() {
    OneSignal.init({
      appId: "**********************************",
    });
  });
</script>

That is a base script. That script doesn't track members. You can't do mass messages though their backend.
Doesn't have subscribe,unsubscribe options via html. And you wouldn't be able to receive alerts if someone replied to your topic.

Oh right on. Even better, I'm giving it a whirl

vbgamer45 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2019, 09:08:58 AM »

Have some fun with it maybe you can make it look nicer. I am backend developer so I just try to build out the core functions.

Shambles · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2019, 10:05:53 AM »

Hmm might have a play with this mod - thanks for making it available.

I manually installed the code from OneSignal and it seems quite accurate with its stats, plus the instant messaging is decent.

Shambles · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2019, 10:56:58 AM »

The mod installs the .js files into $boarddir but the code is looking in the website root for them:

Quote

Failed to register/update a ServiceWorker for scope ‘https://www.i30ownersclub.com/’: Load failed with status 404 for script ‘https://www.i30ownersclub.com/OneSignalSDKWorker.js?appId=5212**********************202d’

$boarddir for me is https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/

Guess I'll just move the files up a level...

vbgamer45 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:09:37 AM »

Yeah forgot about people in subfolders.

Shambles · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:13:31 AM »

I've moved the three files up to the root but not a great deal is happening (no further errors in the console though).

Question:

Both the .js files contain the same importScripts command. Is this by design?

Code: [Select]

importScripts('https://cdn.onesignal.com/sdks/OneSignalSDKWorker.js');

vbgamer45 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:18:34 AM »

I believe so

Shambles · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:44:27 AM »

Just trying to work out why nothing happens when the mod is installed (ie, messages aren't received, notifications not requested).

Does the mod not require a manifest.json file?

vbgamer45 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:46:03 AM »

Requires manifest.json

cURL needs to be installed.

After you click the subscribe to notifications in your user account and some replies. You should get a push notification in your browser. Tested on firefox and chrome.

Shambles · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:53:07 AM »

I can see the manifest is built by the mod, just wondered if it needed <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />

When I inserted the OneSignal code manually in my index.template.php the whole thing worked perfectly.
