Notification Widget not working

Hi,

I've grabbed this widget as I want notifications but not the toolbar: https://help.forumotion.com/t139188-notifications-without-displaying-toolbar#944510
Sadly, it's not working. It's displaying the header "Your Notifications" in the sidebar, but no notifications appear regardless of the page I'm viewing.

This is the widget:

Code:

 
<ul style="margin: 0px; overflow: auto; max-height: 225px; padding-left: 0px;" id="wnotify">
</ul><script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(window).load(function() {

              var image = jQuery('#profile-advanced-right img:first', data).attr('src');
              oImg.attr('src', image);
              sessionStorage.setItem(sHref, image);
            });

Any ideas why notifications don't appear?

Thanks.

hello

it works but you should Activate the toolbar

Hi Mohamed,

Thanks for your reply. According to the thread in the link above, the notification widget is to REPLACE the toolbar. I don't want it.
If I activate the toolbar, it shows.

Update:

I see you're right. I activated the toolbar and there were the notifications. Well, one regarding a PM. It doesn't seem to show more than one notification.

So:
1. Is there a way of activating the toolbar but keeping it hidden?
2. Is there a way of showing, say, the last half a dozen notifications?

You can not hide the toolbar, because it contains copyright items. You can hide everything except for the Forumotion link. If you use credits, you can change the link. So you have to activate the toolbar or not.

I can hide the toolbar by deactivating it. So.I'm not sure of these copyright issues.

Why, as per the link in the OP, would you have a notification widget AND a notification bar?

I think there's some confusion here

JScript was not offering a code to hide the toolbar, but only to create a notification widget.  Also those JavaScripts were for punBB and phpBB 3.

If you scroll down, he added bb3 code.

So there's no way of hiding the toolbar?

You can not hide your toolbar if its activated and it needs to be turned on for this system to work
