Description of problem


Hello,

So i create a donation system that a member can use it, tag a member and request a donation of points from his/her profile to the member (s)he tagged. What i want is that member who gets tagged to get notified wither to the notification list of fa_toolbar or to his/her browser that the member who posted has donated to him/her the X amount of points.

I do not wish to share the donation system code but if you know how i can add a script or something in my code in order to do this i would appreciate the help.

Thanks
TheCrow

Do you mean the tag system?

@SLGray

If yes, you will get a notification if you have it set in your profile.

Despite the tag mention, there are people that don't pay attention to the notifications. Maybe if an alert of the browser is sent to them it may be something better. But still with the notifications i want a notification that will contain information about the donation and not a single tag.

Hello,

Rely on the FA.Notification for any function you wish to create is a painful path — trust me, I've been there. I would suggest that you intercept the "donation action" and, before it happens, you send a PM via Ajax with the notice.

Code:
; (function ($) {
    'use strict';

    $(function () {
        /** Before doing donation stuff */
        $.post('/privmsg', {
            username: 'Donation Receiver',
            subject: 'I\'ve just sent you a donation!',
            message: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.',
            mode: 'post',
            post: 1
        }).then(function () {
            /** Do the donation stuff */
            console.log('I\'m doing stuff.')
        });
    });
})(jQuery);

PMs have a natural alert, so that should be covered up.

Hello @Kyo Panda and thank you for your reply.
That code pretty much does what i want but is there a possibility that we can add an alert on the browser too? Within that code, the member who receives the coins to receive an alert also?

The member who receive the coins (and the message) will receive the "You got a new message!" alert, default on Forumotion, assuming that the username field on the ajax call is properly filled with the receiver username.

Of course, we can go rad on this topic and on overall_header:

Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->
    pm = window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_faprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');
    if(pm != null) { pm.focus(); }
<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->

Inside the switch, we can make another interception to do "custom stuff":

Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->
    $.get('/privmsg?folder=inbox', function (data) {
        if ($('a.topictitle:eq(0)', data).text().trim() === 'I\'ve just sent you a donation!') {
            console.log('Do awesome stuff!');
            return;
        }

        /** Default PM codez */
        pm = window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_faprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');
        if(pm != null) { pm.focus(); }
    });
<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->

Hello @Kyo Panda,

Just to make sure i understood this correctly, with the second code to do custom stuff this reads the title of the PM and if it's the one entered 'I\'ve just sent you a donation!' it will show the alert on the console? If this is it then it's perfect.

Yep, exactly.

Basically:

Code:
/** When a new PM is received and the alert option is ON on the Administrative Panel (default) */
<!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->
    /** Load the receiver PM page */
    $.get('/privmsg?folder=inbox', function (data) {
        /** If the last PM received has the title "I've just sent you a donation!" */
        if ($('a.topictitle:eq(0)', data).text().trim() === 'I\'ve just sent you a donation!') {
            /** Do custom stuff */
            console.log('Do awesome stuff!');
            /** And return without executing the default PM code below */
            return;
        }
 
        /** Default PM codez */
        pm = window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_faprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');
        if(pm != null) { pm.focus(); }
    });
<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->

This particular part on overall_header is already within a script tag, so you should be covered up.

Code:
   <script type="text/javascript">
   //<![CDATA[
   $(document).ready(function(){
      <!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->
         pm = window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_faprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');
         if(pm != null) { pm.focus(); }
      <!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->
      <!-- BEGIN switch_report_popup -->
         report = window.open('{switch_report_popup.U_REPORT_POPUP}', '_phpbbreport', 'HEIGHT={switch_report_popup.S_HEIGHT},resizable=yes,scrollbars=no,WIDTH={switch_report_popup.S_WIDTH}');
         if(report != null) { report.focus(); }
      <!-- END switch_report_popup -->
      <!-- BEGIN switch_ticker -->
         $(document).ready(function() {
            Ticker.start({
               height : {switch_ticker.HEIGHT},
               spacing : {switch_ticker.SPACING},
               speed : {switch_ticker.SPEED},
               direction : '{switch_ticker.DIRECTION}',
               pause : {switch_ticker.STOP_TIME}
            });
         });
      <!-- END switch_ticker -->
   });

   <!-- BEGIN switch_login_popup -->
      var logInPopUpLeft, logInPopUpTop, logInPopUpWidth = {LOGIN_POPUP_WIDTH}, logInPopUpHeight = {LOGIN_POPUP_HEIGHT}, logInBackgroundResize = true, logInBackgroundClass = false;
   <!-- END switch_login_popup -->

   <!-- BEGIN switch_login_popup -->
   $(document).ready( function() {
      $(window).resize(function() {
         var windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
         var popupWidth = $("#login_popup").width();
         var mypopup = $("#login_popup");

         $("#login_popup").css({
         "left": windowWidth/2 - popupWidth/2
            });
      });
   });
   <!-- END switch_login_popup -->
   //]]>
   </script>

So it should be like this:

or entered within the
Code:
//<![CDATA[


My bad, i didn't see the code very well. I did enter the code in the overall header but there is nothing showing up once i send a donation. I do get the pm and the notifications on the fa_toolbar but no browser alert.
