Hi,
whats the different between Broadcast Toast and Broadcast notification ?

its possible to create a user notification (not mail, only on ES) to inform him about an annoucement ?
i guess its the Broadcast notification ?
Just testing it, its create a user notification and its just great !! it shown in a different color and its more visible then other notification.

when i click on this notification i get the same page (ES stream page) : index.php?option=com_easysocial&lang=&Itemid=126&_ts=1437488403517

it would be better to open directly the url add in the announcement !?

Hello Jan,

Good point but in my opinion it should be an unclickable notification instead. This is because the notification content will be fully displayed on the notification and there is no use for user to click the notification item to view the full content.

What is a broadcast toast? As far as I recall, there's only 1 type of broadcast in EasySocial.

Hey Jan,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Where are you seeing these "Broadcast Toast" and "Broadcast"? As far as I recalled, there is only a broadcast feature on the story form which allows site admins to broadcast to users.

Ah okay it looks like someone may have accidentally renamed the language string here. It should either be a popup / notification. Popup simply means that the broadcast would appear as a popup while notification on the other hand would appear in your notifications

If you choose "toast", it should actually popup. But we'll rename it back as it looks like there's a mistake here

Hello Jan,

Yes, as I mentioned earlier,
Good point but in my opinion it should be an unclickable notification instead. This is because the notification content will be fully displayed on the notification and there is no use for user to click the notification item to view the full content.


In my opinion, it shouldn't be unclickable at all because the full content of the notification is already displayed.
