Native Push Notifications Support for NodeBB

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

dave1904 sorry. It's not core. You need to install nodebb-plugin-web-push and then you'll see the section I mentioned previously.

phenomlab found the plugin, thanks!

This requires me to toggle this on by going to my user's profile. is there a way this can be made default 'on' for all users on platform?

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

Pankaj-Soni yes and no... the enabling of the push notifications requires a discrete user action — the user has to actually press the switch to enable notifications.

There are ways we can advertise this to end users, so I will look into adding those soon. For now, users will have to go into their user settings to enable push notifications.

julian Just like pankaj-soni , I too would like to have push notifications on by default

Hi.
Just to be certain, push notifications still don’t work on iOS under NodeBB 4.4.4 with nodebb-plugin-web-push 0.7.4, right?

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

D1re_W0lf mmm it should work but we don't have Apple devices to test against...

[bh4-tech@community.nodebb.org]

D1re_W0lf Although I don't have an iOS device, but according to docs,on iOS web push notifications work on only those sites which have been added to home screen. So, add this site to home screen and check after few hours.

bh4-tech that's good to know, thank you!

I checked logs:
Sever start with log: info: [plugins/web-push] VAPID keys OK.

Nodebb: 4.4.3
Plugin: nodebb-plugin-web-push 0.7.4

it works on: Desktop + Android
But I don't have any permission request popup to enable notifications for Nodebb on Safari Mobile and iOS
I tried also with homescreen app in iOS

Can anyone help me? julian maybe it is worth to check this behavior in Browserstack?

Yes, this is a good idea does browser stack have support for push notifications?

bh4-tech I’ll try that.
Thank you.

bh4-tech Hi gain.
Apologies for the long delay in replaying.
I tried to activate on my iPhone without any luck.
I used Safari, Chrome, and Vivaldi both directly and to "install" as a PWA, but none of it worked.

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

D1re_W0lf does it work if you add the app to the home screen?
