Wayne B Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 @Mike JohnThere is a bug - on the field "Days Joined" within a message settings. The value for this field is defaulted to 5, if I enter 0 to disable this filed it does disable it however if I go back into that message and edit the text the message disappears, that is because when I check the message settings it has defaulted back to 5 again. If I change this value to 20 and save it applies that change and displays correctly but on re-editing the message in the future, the field value has again defaulted back to 5 so that is what is saved if you forget each time to go in and change it. Its not pulling the value from the database on edit despite the correct value being saved, it is defaulting to 5. Also @Mike John What is the difference between "Normal Block" and "Info Message" please? Link to comment
Wayne B Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 @Mike John - Also if I try to get the message to just show in a specific forum utilising the global hook it just shows everywhere and not in the forums specified? Plus a language bug when adding Administration Permissions to the application Link to comment

Its as if its global and ignores the setting. Link to comment

TSP Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Any plans to allow option to let members dismiss messages? Link to comment
Michael.J Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Any plans to allow option to let members dismiss messages?I'm open to suggestions how? Permanently or cookie based? Link to comment
TSP Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I would personally be fine with just cookies. There would need to be some unique identifier for each message so new messages wouldn't get hidden. Link to comment

If not, then it's been noted for a future version. Link to comment
Joey_M Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 @Mike JohnDoes this display messages after each other or on rotation? If not, would you consider adding the ability to display messages after each other and for allowing messages to hidden? Looks a brilliant application and something I am keen to add to my site.

Widgets only display 1 message at a time but if your using the central hook that appears at the top of the forums, you can choose between displaying messages in rotation or by position (with drag and drop position supported in the acp). No, hide support is currently not included. But you'll see a post above that it is something that is on my radar and if not included in the next version will be something I'm looking at soon after. If you need a demo, let me know and can setup one for you. Joey_M 1 Link to comment
Wayne B Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 @Mike John No message any longer displays without using widgets - if I switch on the global hook and remove all widgets it never displays. Even if I create a default new theme with no logo customisation or anything I still get no message displaying using the global hook. Link to comment

Assume you've got no restrictions in place that might stop it from showing in the global hook? Link to comment
Wayne B Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 4.0.13.1 No restrictions I know of no. 1 hour ago, Mike John said: What version of IPB 4 are you using? Assume you've got no restrictions in place that might stop it from showing in the global hook? Link to comment

Joey_M Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Mike, is it possible to include in an update the ability to allow selected messages to show in rotation via the widget? At the moment I can only choose between one or the other, plus with my skin seeming to be missing the hook point - I don't have any other way around this. If it could be possible that upon refreshing/reloading the messages changes between a selected group, I would appreciate it. Link to comment

I believe so, should just be a matter of changing the node form to support multiple values. I'll log this and make sure it's included next version. Link to comment
