Where to turn on?

[DesignzShop]

I see here at IPB when I click on my notification bell at the top it looks like this with a notification area at the top.

 

However at my test install I do not see that, rather I see what's below

 

Am I missing a setting or notification setting to show that?

You'll need to make sure that you haven't already blocked notifications in your browser for the domain (some browsers will automatically do this if you don't click allow/deny specifically in the popup). It may also not display immediately, especially if you're using a newly registered account.

If using Chrome at least, you can check your setting by clicking the lock icon in the address bar to open the setting window:

then click the menu beside "Notifications" to enable or disable them.

Tried everything on my local to get this to turn on. Still no luck so all I can figure is this needs to be fixed or re-designed.

It's on my local wamp install Brandon 🙂 I thought I may of just missed something.

Are you using Chrome, and what is the URL of your "local" install? Is it http://localhost or a variant of that?

if so, what happens when you click on the "circle i" here:

You should see the same menu as in my screenshot.

Tried that last night Mark. Still nothing. My wamp install runs excellent and everything seems to be working great too. latest php etc...

 

On a bright note I got the code I needed from here at IPB. I'd still like to see it work correctly in local however. 

Kind regards

OK, that screenshot shows you already have Notifications turned on.

Turn that off, logout, clear your browser cache, then log back in, and use the bell icon in the nav bar.

Do you now see the "Stay up to date" info box?

Chrome 62+ & Firefox 67+ (and maybe others) require HTTPS for the Notifications API to work, since you're using http:// locally, you won't be asked to enable it.

This is also depends on cookie notificationMenuShown

				// To prevent annoyance for new users, we'll only show the callout after 2+ days
				if( !_.isUndefined( ips.utils.cookie.get( 'notificationMenuShown' ) ) ){

If you need it now disable

1 Go to 

chrome://settings/content/notifications

Search localhost and remove

2. Open console and run

var date = new Date();
date.setDate( date.getDate() - 3 );
ips.utils.cookie.set('notificationMenuShown', date.getTime(), true );

3. Click on notifications icon
