Notification Hub Extension

junaid

I've been following the development of this extension. And, I've been awaiting the launch!

I'll download and test this extension in a few days.

Thank you for your contribution 😄

Good work!

Umutcan

Great job, congratulations @huseyinfiliz 💫

irmmr

huseyinfiliz Excellent, this was really needed.

Chope

You really put something and decent work to make this.
Well done and congrats.

Once again, a very cool extension.
Will there be an opportunity in the future to assign a specific class to the div class="NotificationGroup" layer?
This way, we can easily use CSS to differentiate it from regular system notifications.
If the notification type name can be applied, that would be perfect.

huseyinfiliz

Subarist I believe this is already possible! I think there’s a tag like "customNotification" for it.

And yes, I do have plans to add notification coloring in the future—the groundwork is already in place. It just needs a small tweak (literally 1-2 lines of code) to make it work. But honestly, releasing this extension took quite a bit of energy, so I told myself, "next time!" 😄

huseyinfiliz
Yes, customNotification at a lower level, but it would be more consistent if it could be applied to the entire parent layer.

Of course, I’m sure you’ve already given it plenty of thought. These extensions are a bonus for us,thank you for your efforts. No need to push yourself too hard!

Wlork

So, I spotted a few issues. Small bugs.

I first tested the extension, by myself :

A strange bug.

When I receive a notification with a target link. When you click on it for the first time, the notification sends you to the right page, but an error message appears at the bottom left of the screen.

This is strange because the message only appears when you click on it for the first time. If you click a second time or more, there's no message.

Nothing unpleasant.

In admin panel :

Icon and name are attached. I don't know if this is normal?

And in Send notification page :

I don't know if it's normal, but our avatar doesn't appear in the preview.

Otherwise, it works very well. Today, my moderators will test it.

huseyinfiliz

Wlork Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback!

Error on the first notification click:

I haven't been able to reproduce this on my own forum. Could you run php flarum info or share a list of your installed extensions? That would help me see if another extension might be interfering. It also looks like the link is treated as an external URL. I'm thinking that using routes for internal links and making external ones open in a new tab might fix this. I'll look into it further.

Icon and name in the admin panel:

I'm aware of this layout issue. Since my main focus was on functionality, the design wasn’t fully polished yet. I'll be reworking the extension settings page in the admin panel soon.

Missing avatar in the preview:

I noticed this too. I prioritized getting everything functional for the test release, so I didn't focus much on the visual details. I'll fix this quickly in the next update.

Overall, everything should be working correctly, and I'm planning to address these issues as soon as possible. If you spot any other problems, please let me know!

Thanks again for your help!

Capybara

Hello! I have already tested the extension on my forum — everything works perfectly. In the near future, I will translate the extension into Russian. Thank you very much for your work! Now I am sending notifications about new events, updates, and announcements 👀

huseyinfiliz

Capybara Yes, I checked the custom notification on your forum, everything seems to be working as expected. If you notice any issues, please let me know.

Also, thank you for testing the extension!

You can help me translate the extension into all languages:

huseyinfiliz You can help me translate the extension into all languages:

Estonian is done and checked!
Looks Cool. Thank you very much! 😉

Wlork

@huseyinfiliz

My team tested it and there were no bugs to report apart from those I've already pointed out 🙂

Well done !

About the target link problem, we note that the error message also appears with an external link.

huseyinfiliz

Wlork No one else has reported the error message you mentioned, and I couldn't reproduce the issue on my test forum either. If you'd like, feel free to reach out to me via the email address on my profile or through Telegram, and we can work together to solve the problem.

Thank you for testing the extension and for your support! 😊

huseyinfiliz

I tested this morning with several browsers because this problem puzzles me.

On Chrome, Edge or Safari : there's no error message.
On Firefox : yes.

Really strange issue.

After that, it's nothing serious, it doesn't prevent the extension from working.

huseyinfiliz

Wlork Yes, you are absolutely right. The same issue applies to Firefox's mobile application as well. I haven't been able to confirm what is causing this problem yet, but I will need to do some research to resolve it. Thank you.

From what I know, all notifications are using route changes instead of connection redirection. I am considering the possibility that the issue might be related to this.

Wlork

huseyinfiliz

Phew ! I wasn't crazy 😂

I'm glad because it's important for the developer to see the bug and then correct it 🙂

junaid I'm sorry that you're experiencing this issue, but the solution is quite simple. You need to use PHP 8.1 or higher. PHP 7.4 is no longer supported by many extensions, so I believe it will cause compatibility issues. My recommendation is to upgrade your PHP version to 8.3.

Flarum's official installation page also recommends PHP 8.3, and I follow that recommendation. If you continue to experience issues after upgrading your PHP version, I’d be happy to assist you. However, I do not plan to provide support for PHP 7.4.
