Creating custom notifications

rimian · 13 maart 2017 om 03:29

Hi!

I want to create a custom notification when something happens in my plugin. I can see there is a custom notification type but I’m unsure about how to use it.

Something like:

data = {title: 'some custom event happened'}
Notification.create!(user_id: 1, notification_type: 14, data: data.to_json)

I can create them but they show ‘undefined’:

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Any help much appreciated…

My first guess is that you haven’t defined the Notification type and throws an undefined error somewhere:

github.com/discourse/discourse

app/models/notification.rb

main


      
                  order("notifications.created_at desc").limit(n)
                }
          scope :visible,
                lambda {
                  joins("LEFT JOIN topics ON notifications.topic_id = topics.id").where(
                    "topics.id IS NULL OR topics.deleted_at IS NULL",
                  )
                }
          scope :unread_type, ->(user, type, limit = 30) { unread_types(user, [type], limit) }
          scope :unread_types,
                ->(user, types, limit = 30) do
                  where(user_id: user.id, read: false, notification_type: types)
                    .visible
                    .includes(:topic)
                    .limit(limit)
                end
          scope :prioritized,
                ->(deprioritized_types = []) do
                  scope = order("notifications.high_priority AND NOT notifications.read DESC")
          
                  if deprioritized_types.present?

Guess #2 is that the I18n text hasn’t been defined in client.en.yml.

Depending on what you want to share with the user, I’ve found it’s sometimes better to send a PM and then spell out what happened in more detail.

PostCreator.create(
    Discourse.system_user,
    target_usernames: new_user.username,
    archetype: Archetype.private_message,
    subtype: TopicSubtype.system_message,
    title: I18n.t('translations.location'}),
    raw: I18n.t('translations.location'})
)

Edit: Just realized there’s a custom notification type (14) which you are using. So #1 is out.

I was thinking a private message would be a good idea also. Thanks for that!
