    I have this in the notifi panel : "There is no submit button", and this extension is not working, when I check "Email me every time (instead of once between each forum visit)" it is not saved.

    From what I can see it is a conflict between Vanilla's built-in Prototype file and the MooTools extension. I will try to find exactly which part of Prototype is conflicting and if I don't need to use it I can include a custom prototype.js file to circumvent the issue.

    SubJunk - great extension.

    It would be nice if there was a way of making default that any discussion you post in, or discussion you start you are automatically subscribed and that they can turn this setting off from the account settings?

    I am happy to go back to Notify as it worked perfectly but only if the original issue re the email link can be resolved.

    The problem was that the link took people back to the ACTUAL vanilla installation, rather than the Joomla website that the bridge is installed in. I would like to edit the link to just go back to the website. I don't think it is possible to return people to the actual discussion.

    What do you think? Can I put a single link in the email?

    To osid: it would be easier to help you if you would reply to my messages. Just look up, 2 posts before yours, you will see I asked you some questions days ago.
    I won't provide support for Notify, because that is like opening pandora's box because of all the bugs, all of which have been fixed in Notifi (at least, all the ones that I've been made aware of).

    To spode: that feature does exist already, except it is just for discussions you have started. I will make another option to allow automatic subscription if you post in someone else's discussion because that is a great, useful thing to have.

    Any reason why you didn't use SqlBuilder for your queries? It would eliminate all of the table prefix junk. More importantly, it would support database column/table re-mapping -- a critical feature for integration with other apps.

    It has always been the plan to rewrite a lot of that code. Notifi was based on Notify, which used very non-Vanilla code. I have improved a lot of it and added features and fixed bugs but there are still improvements to be made. Version 2.0 will be a rewrite and will use proper Vanilla syntax throughout.

    Ah that's strange osid. I will post it publically instead of in a whisper, hopefully that will fix it. I said:

    Ok can you go into conf/settings.php and tell me if the NOTIFI fields are there? They will look something like this:$Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_ALL'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_AUTO_ALL'] = '0';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_INSTALL_V2_COMPLETE'] = '1';    If they aren't in there feel free to add them.
    Also I am curious, which version of Vanilla are you using?
    • CommentAuthorosid
    • CommentTimeOct 28th 2008
     # 118
    I found that code as described.

    wrt the version that is tricky. I installed it as a Joomla component but the installation would only install an old version of Vanilla. I then paid a guy to upgrade the installation to 1.1.4 so as far as I am aware that is what is there. How would I check?

    I notice there is now a 1.1.4 joomla version but I hesitate to install it as the layout of my site was edited and I don't want to disturb it.
    • CommentAuthorSubJunk
    • CommentTimeOct 28th 2008
     # 119
    That is really strange osid, because the errors you are seeing are basically just saying "we can't find the notifi configuration variables", but you said they actually are there. Was the Vanilla code edited at all? It is really best to upgrade to Vanilla 1.1.5a if at all possible, because there are security problems with 1.1.4. Hopefully that will also clear up the problems.
    Notifi does work with 1.1.4 but I guess the guy who upgraded it may not have upgraded properly, just a guess
    • CommentAuthorosid
    • CommentTimeOct 28th 2008
     # 120
    This is the code that I can see in conf/settings.php

    $Configuration['NOTIFY_SETUP'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_ALL'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_VERSION'] = '1.2.0';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_AUTO_ALL'] = '0';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_INSTALL_V2_COMPLETE'] = '1';

    In default.php for instance line 121 says

    if ($Context->Session->UserID > 0 && isset($Panel) && $Context->Configuration['NOTIFI_AUTO_ALL'] == 0) {

    line 123 says

    if ($Context->Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_ALL'] == 1 && in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('comments.php','index.php','categories.php'))) {

    That is all correct?

    • CommentTimeOct 29th 2008

    Well in conf/settings.php it should also have the NOTIFI variables, as opposed to the NOTIFY variables. You see how in that list you gave me, only one of those is NOTIFI, the other 6 are for NOTIFY.
    I think the problem is because I uploaded the version of Notifi with the broken installer so it didn't set up properly. So this bug has been fixed already, you just got very unlucky with the timing. Sorry for that.
    So to fix it please copy the following into conf/settings.php:$Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_ALL'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_AUTO_ALL'] = '0';

    First of all, thanks for this great extension and for your efforts. :)

    Just FYI, this extension somehow conflicts with Comment Links (as does Notify). The desired behavior in Comments Links is to show a javascript generated menu when clicked. With Notifi enabled, that menu doesn't appear. You might want to address that issue in the next version. :)

    The trouble is that the link take the user to the Vanilla installation, not the Joomla site.

    I suspect that the Joomla bridge cannot identify the exact url of the discussion (I suspect this because the url does not change as I look at different discussions).

    What do you suggest?

    Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to simply send a fixed url back in the email (ie the url of the Joomla site - http://www.osid.co.uk/OverseasSchoolsInformationDatabase/component/option,com_vanilla/Itemid,56/ )

    Yes it seems like the only thing to do is link to the main Joomla page, because the URL doesn't change from page to page as you said. I guess you have your reasons but in general that is very bad practice, people can't give links to friends or bookmark particular discussions in their browser. But that's not why you came here ;)

    Also found out it breaks the Collapsible Panel extension. Is there a quick way to fix it and the User Info without having to release a new version?
    • CommentAuthorSubJunk
    • CommentTimeNov 3rd 2008 edited
     # 134
    IceBone, it is actually those extensions that are breaking Notifi, and not the other way around. The problem is that Notifi uses Prototype (which is included with Vanilla) but Collapsible Panel and User Info use a MooTools extension. MooTools and ProtoType are similar in that they both extend JavaScript, making it easier and more functional, but they conflict with eachother (they both try to change JavaScript in some similar ways so it conflicts).
    So it is the MooTools-dependent extensions that break Notifi, not Notifi that breaks them, because Notifi is using Vanilla's own built-in Prototype file :)

    I don't think there is any way to fix the conflict because it is a fundamental incompatibility with the 2 packages, so the only way to fix it would be to make Notifi work with MooTools instead of Prototype which I have no intention of doing unless MooTools is ever included in the core instead of Prototype (I don't know of any plans to do that), or for the other extension's authors to make theirs work with Prototype as they should have done in the first place, in my opinion. I hope that clears it up IceBone.

    SubJunk - I imagine this goes with the territory. But it would be nice if when doing BBCode rendering, it also added in line breaks for new paragraphs? It would also be nice to have a word count limit. I have people writing entire articles and posting them. I don't want the whole thing going through. Being able to limit it to 150 words would be useful :) If you need/want any help with coding btw - feel free to get in touch.

    Can you explain what you mean by "doesn't have categories enabled"? I didn't realize that option existed, or is it an extension that allows that to happen?
