Notifications

Hi,

Unsure what this is called so excuse my ignorance, when someone looks at your profile or sends you an email you get a notification alert that comes in on the top right hand side of the screen, is there anyway of changing that to the bottom left hand side of the screen a little like Facebook, please see picture!

You would also need to change the order of the flow as well, so that more than one flows up the page instead of down.

Thanks Geek, want to get rid of the one on the right and move it to the bottom left, is it possible?

???????

Copy this to the end of your "Dolphin root/templates/tmpl_*yourTemplate*/css/general.css" file:

div.notifi_window {
    left:0px;
    bottom:50px;
}

Set your values for left and bottom properties if needed.

If there is no such file, then get the file from the attachment, set your values and upload it instead. Clear templates cache.

Hi,

This nearly worked but…….for some reason when i made the changes the main menu stopped working, any ideas?

Thanks for your help so far!

Russell

If you did it properly than there is not reason the menu would have stopped working.

Explain the steps you took.

 Hi,

I made the changes in…...

public_html/templates/base/css

as i am using the original template, made the changes but main menu stopped working? i couldn't click on anything on the page?

Russell

Think its the hole page that freezes, please see video!

 RE:

 A person could watch that 5 second video a hundred times and still not know wth you are talking about.

So what was the result when you undid the change?

There is a problem in the code- div.notifi_window stretches in all directions as default top and left values are set too. Use the following code instead:

That is brilliant, thank you all for your help (apart from houstonlively, you was obviously wrong!) Is there anyway i can adjust the time the notification actually stops there for? disappears to quickly!

Thanks again for your help!

Anybody?

Find the following code in 'templates/base/extra_top_menu.html' file on line 199:

notify_window_animateduration  : {over: 1000, out: 1000},

Copy this file to your template folder and set "out" number to a desired value in milliseconds.

Hi,

Thanks for everyones help so far, i made the last changes but it didn't seem to do anything.

Russell

Make sure you cleared templates cache. If this does not help then post your file with changes here.

Hi,

I am using the template that is provides with Boonex, so i shouldn't have to copy file right?

Russell

It is better to copy base template html files you want to edit in tmpl_uni and make changes there. Otherwise you can lose some modifications on next Dolphin upgrade.

Its cool, there was not a lot to change, i could of put it back to how it was, didn't seem to work though even with cacshe cleared, sorry!

I set "out" parameter to 7000 and got slowly fading notifications. Check if you have done everything right and post your extra_top_menu.html file, where you made those changes.

I got the same, slowly fading but can't i get it to just stay longer and then fade normally? hope that makes sense! lol

Russell

To change how long it stays on the screen do this instead.

Edit inc\classes\BxDolMemberMenu.php

Find this at about line 101

var $iNotifyDestroyTime  = 3000; // in milliseconds;

Increase the 3000 which is 3 seconds. So to change it it 6 seconds use a number of 6000

Thanks Deano.  I have noticed the time is too short to read, you see it pop up and you look but before you can really start to read the list goes away.  It has just never been that important for me to track down since I can click on the notification link.

Absolutely brilliant, thank you both, we got there in the end!
