[For 1.8] MyAlerts

[Euan T]

MyAlerts is a notification system inspired by those found within XenForo and Invision power Board. It notifies your members of certain actions relating to their accounts occurring around the forum with a small alert in the header.

MyAlerts can also be easily extended by other plugin authors wishing to hook into the plugin to add alerts for actions happening within their own plugin. For more details on this, see here: https://github.com/euantor/MyAlerts/wiki/Integrating

MyAlerts also allows both administrators and users to choose exactly which alerts to receive so your users don't get bogged down by useless alerts they're not interested in and bigger board owners can disable more intensive alert types such as quote alerts.

MyAlerts by default uses jQuery to perform all it's javaScript actions but a Prototype version of the JS is included. For more details on this, see here: https://github.com/euantor/MyAlerts#jquery-or-prototype

MyAlerts also required PluginLibrary version 9 or newer. This can be obtained here: http://mods.mybb.com/view/pluginlibrary

Reporting bugs / getting support

Due to the size and complexity of this plugin there are most likely still a few bugs I've simply forgotten about. It's been in development for a long time and it's been hard to keep track of all the issues.

I'd love if people could report bugs at the plugin's GitHub repository if possible.

ENABLE ALL ALERTS FOR EXISTING USERS

Thanks to Shade, we have a handy script you can run to enable all alerts for currently registered users. This will become core soon. http://community.mybb.com/thread-127444-...#pid987832

Looks stunning. Will test on localhost.

[Euan T]

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and whether you decide to take it live.

[crazy4cs]

This user has been denied support.

I'll definitely let you know if I do so.

Might suggest some additional improvements (however, it comes from a person like you, doubt I'd find anything) upon testing as well.

[Euan T]

Feel free. I'm always open to PMs

[mmadhankumar]

Waiting for this long time. Will Surely check it on localhost. It comes from a person like you so we can take it live directly. But still i would use it on localhost for few customization

[Euan T]

Yeah, I highly advise localhosting it first so you can modify the templates to look exactly how you want them.

I've just made a new plugin today, My Followers which is in use right now. Currently, it sends PM for various actions, but yeah, if I plan to use My Alerts, I'll surely integrate it with alerts system and save PMs and give some relief to server as well.
