Native Push Notifications Support for NodeBB

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

@julian when does 3.10 come out?

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

@phenomlab Right now

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

@julian Hmm - still not working for me... :-(

EDIT - works on my Android phone, but not on my PC - guessing it's likely security software.
EDIT 2 - suspicion confirmed. It's caused by NordVPN. If running, the push notification doesn't work - if disabled, it works fine.

Thanks for closing the loop! Kind of annoying that NordVPN blocks them...

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

@julian Yes, very, and their support isn't up to much either in the sense of wanting to fix it. I've had to change my VPN usage from machine level (which I prefer) to browser level - as long as the internet traffic is secured, that's good enough for the time being.

@phenomlab curious, was it also blocking push notifications from this site as well?

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

@julian yes

Hi,

I'm on 3.10.0 but still see the ntfy notification plugin. Are native push notifications available if updating to current version?

[phenomlab@community.nodebb.org]

@dave1904 it's part of core - have a look under /me/web-push. If you use this, then you'll need to disable ntfy

[dave1904@community.nodebb.org]

To use the native notifications i have to disable ntfy first?

Edit: After disabling there are no notifications settings under user settings. So I guess I have to update the software

[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.

[dave1904@community.nodebb.org]

@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.
