About desktop notifications

  So i reviewed this a little. Basically only the SSE Notifications addon needs to be activated. This is because the addon provides the realtime updates for the notifications system no matter if traditional polling or SSE is used. The decision if SSE or traditional polling is used is made in the admin->site settings.
  
  So the name and the description of the addon is somehow misleading. The addon should probably be called "Realtime Notifications" and the description should be "Provides realtime data for the core notifications system".

    Could you please tell us something about the warning there?

      SSE implements an endless loop. Some hosters do not like this...

    @Mario Vavti But do we still want it as an addon, or would it be just as well to integrate this into core directly?

      @Harald Eilertsen i think it is fine as an addon. It is a perfect fit for the hooks system.

  And to be honest, I really don't understand that SSE thing

  
  SSE is my fault :raised_hand:, feel free to ask.
  
  Desktop notifications used to work for gnome here. IIRC they only notify about toplevels because otherwise it was too much...

    I understand. But to verify here, what is meant by "top levels"? New posts?

    original

    • mario@hub.somaton.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      @Alfred Bühler Yes, new top level posts, or what we call conversation starters.

  Conclusion

  • It works only if the SSE plugin is enabled.
  • It works only if unseen network activities are enabled.
  • Only starters trigger a notification; comments, etc. are ignored.
  • I read something with "only one browser tab open"...

  
  For me this is an unrealistic scenario, as I usually have multiple browser windows with multiple tabs open, and I'm also interested in incoming comments on my threads. Therefore, for me this case can be closed.
  
  Thanks to everyone for contributing to this thread. Have a nice evening.
  
  Over and out.

  @Hubzilla Support Forum I've too many of them :) Eventually it is a pref in your browser, that stops it all?

    @*_jߍyrope No, the browser allows them, and it works well with other sites.
