Sending messages to the server via {.notify.}

SilentPliz · **on:** August 13, 2010, 05:26:59 PM

Hi !

As rejetto added the ability to send notifications (tray baloons), I have incorporated this feature into the template of beta ~~#266~~ #267.

If you want to try, the template is attached below of this message.

When you load the template, a Group named #notifications# will be created ... you need only include users of your choice into this group for enable them to send messages.

Updated template at August 31, 2010:

I took the opportunity to implement the possibility of sending an audio event at the same time as the written notification.

So when you load a template, are created two groups: #notifications# and #playsounds#
You associate users allowed to send notifications to the server, into the group #notifications#, and into the group #playsounds# those which you also allowed the right to send sound events.

Note: #playsounds# is not independent, it's part of the notification form, dealing with sound event.
The group #playsounds# can be enabled or disabled only for authorized users in the group #notifications#, it can not be used alone.

very nice idea SP!
i think you should publish it as a diff tpl, or people will
- go crazy trying to stay up to date
- not update at all, maybe even without knowing it

It's done!

Notifications (Diff template release).

For use in folder(s) (or sub-folder(s)) of your choice.

1. Use a recent beta version of HFS (2.3 #266 at time of writing)

2. Create a folder that you name for example: Notifications (add it to the VFS)
- Right-click on this folder > Properties... > Give Access permission to all users that you want.
- Paste in the Diff template tab the "code" below, and save the Virtual File System:

Code: [Select]

3. Create two groups named:

#notifications#
#playsounds#

4. Bind the User Accounts of your choice with the #notifications# group, and optionally, with the group #playsounds#, depending on what you want to allow.
- Validate and save options

Now, users can to send notifications to the server admin.

Note:
If you use this "diff template" with a main template different from the one provided by default with the "266" ... it will work, but you will have probably to correct the appearance of the diff template to match with your main template.

Ou vous pouvez utiliser la version "françisée" de HFS, qui inclue cette fonctionnalité de manière plus directe.

Confirmed working just fine on the new RAWR 0.1.3 Template..

Thank you Silent..
Just what I needed for my fellow mods on my site..

1 question however..
Is the notification logged in anyway?..
If so where would it be located in case Im away from my server at the time of the message..
Then when I return I can see what has been sent via {.notify.}~

@ SilentPliz
I'm running HFS on older computer used as network attached storage.
{.notify.} doesn't seem to work here.
Could it be operating system?

It's possible, or maybe the "balloons" notifications are disabled on your OS.

Which version of Windows you use on this "older computer"?

The easiest way (for me

) is to use {.add to log.}

Replace this code:

Code: [Select]

{.if|{.#notifications#.}|{:
{.if|{.filename|{.postvar|notify.}.}|{:
{.notify|{.force ansi|%user%{.!:.}
{.postvar|notifytext.}.}|title={.force ansi|{.postvar|notifytitle.}.}  [%time%]|type={.postvar|type.}|timeout={.postvar|timeout.}.}
{.if|{.#playsounds#.}|
{.play|{.postvar|play.}.}.}
:}.}:}.}

By this code:

Code: [Select]

{.if|{.#notifications#.}|{:
{.if|{.filename|{.postvar|notify.}.}|{:{.notify|{.force ansi|%user%{.!:.}
{.postvar|notifytext.}.}|title={.force ansi|{.postvar|notifytitle.}.}  [%time%]|type={.postvar|type.}|timeout={.postvar|timeout.}.}
{.add to log|.
{.force ansi|{.!*Begin Notification*.}.}  [%time%]

{.force ansi|%user%.}{.!:.}
::. {.force ansi|{.postvar|notifytitle.}.} .::
{.force ansi|{.postvar|notifytext.}.}

{.force ansi|{.!*End Notification*.}.}.}
{.if|{.#playsounds#.}|
{.play|{.postvar|play.}.}.}
:}.}:}.}

You will just search in the log: Begin Notification

Edit:
I changed the code of yesterday, it's more easier ... you can copy it entirely.

i think instructions given in the 3rd post are quite clear
http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php/topic,9000.msg1051769.html#msg1051769
if you think they aren't, you should specify what part.
