Hi everyone,

I used to have push notifications working fine in IPB v4 using OneSignal, but since upgrading to v5, they no longer seem to work. I checked my OneSignal settings, but I’m not sure if something changed in the integration with IPB v5.

Has anyone successfully set up OneSignal push notifications in v5? Are there new settings, permissions, or API changes required? Any guidance or documentation links would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Im not familiar with that, however first of all I would check it is working in a standard browser on your site.

thanks, do we need third party platform for push notificaiton or IP platfom can handle this ?

I was using this since 4-5 years.

You dont need a 3rd party platform to provide push notifications, no. The software handles this. You just install the WPA app as with any other site that has notifications (your browser will usually ask you)

Awesome !

Could you please provide more details or procedures about WPA ? i didnt install anything on my forum around this

Of course. What you need to do is head over to your admin CP, and go to System->Settings->Web App, and fill in all details on there on both tabs. Once you have done that, you have set up the web app. You will then have the options to install a web app. How this is added will depend on the browser you are using

Are we talking about browser push notifications or app notifications ?

We dont have a native application. We use a WPA app (which is actually what allows for push notifications both on mobile devices and on your computer.)
