Cbox Notifications [v1.0.1]

[elli]

PF The "Chat" button? Yeah, there should be a way. Give me a couple of days to have a look, a bit busy at the moment.

Thank you for your reply elli, but I found where to set the permissions. I set it to members and staff, so guests can't see it now.

Thanks again.

PF Good to know, thanks for the update 👍

Hi elli ,

I have this installed on a forum, but the users don't get a notification when there's a new message. I don't see that little red dot or anything.

Any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.

ETA: I have the free version of Cbox, btw. I'm thinking maybe it's because I would need the Premium version that there is no notification.

ETA: I think maybe I didn't put in the correct URL with the box id. I did that, so it should work now. I'll update you if it still doesn't work.

A nice, simple addition to a forum, but is there a way to position the Chat bubble further up the page?

[elli]

ffs Absolutely. You can grab the class name of the button, .cbox-notifications__button, and use positioning with CSS to move it around as you please. For example, if you wanted it on the right side and halfway up the page:

.cbox-notifications__button {
 bottom: 50%;
 position: fixed;
 right: 25px;
}
This would go at the bottom of your stylesheet. Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > "Style Sheet", scroll to the very bottom of the code area and paste the above on a new line.

Sorry, elli , that didn't work.

[elli]

ffs Hmm, can you show me what you did or link to your forum?

[ffs]

elli, the forum is tofftesting.freeforums.net/ and I did exactly what you said, pasted the code you gave at the bottom of the style sheet.

It looks like there was a typo made causing the rule not to apply at all (i.e. .cbox-notifications__notification)

SPOILER: Click to show

But even if applied correctly the rule still loses to a rival

SPOILER: Click to show

So add some weight (specificity) to selector to give it an advantage over its competitors (e.g. button.cbox-notifications__button )

SPOILER: Click to show

I couldn't spot the typo and I'm not sure where/how to add the weight (specificity)!

Typo was highlighted in red in my previous post

and the additional weight was shown denoted using lime-green

Ah, I was looking for a spelling mistake, not a completely wrong word, and elli has now edited the code in his snippet  . With those changes it shows as promised.
