This is great. Has anyone else noticed they get double notifications? I do, at least on these boards.

Good work thanks very much for this.

julian

@theepiphany Yes, I am seeing those too (and it's a little more annoying on Linux, as they do not auto-fade).

@psychobunny?

psychobunny

hmmmm, I wonder if its because you have two windows open

Chris

@psychobunny nope, that is the first thing i checked.

Chris

@psychobunny Update to this: I've noticed duplicate notifications and old notifications popping up when I have two different nodebb forums open. Ie - this one and mine. I got a reply to a post on my forum and two notifications from this one also popped up - even though they were not new.

psychobunny

Interesting... okay. Thanks for looking into this! @julian and @trevor have been on my back to update this plugin as well so I should take a look at it soon

For some reason i have enabled the notifications plugin but i do not get prompted whether to allow notifications or not?

Any ideas?

@xCausxn I initially had that issue, forgot what I did to get it working. Try restarting server, clearing cache?

xCausxn

Done that multiple times now

psychobunny

What browser are you using? Desktop notifications won't work on older browsers and probably any version of IE that gets released in the next 20 years

xCausxn

For some reason its working fine now, ive always had Latest versions of chrome and firefox

Is there a magic trick to get these working on Android? I've got a Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Logged in using Chrome, don't get any push notifications. Does it only work on default browser?

psychobunny

Just looked it up, chrome mobile doesn't support push notifications just yet (maybe beta builds might). Surprisingly mobile Opera and blackberry works, as well as Firefox

@psychobunny Thanks, thought it would be something like that, I'll try with the stock browser or Firefox.
