Message & Conversation Notifications - It's confusing

Open Gilbertdelyon opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

image 1/ Notification settings for Message & Conversation are together in the same table as other items that depend on Spaces. They should be displayed in a distinct area.

2/ "Web" Notifications are selected by default and you cannot change. So, why to display this setting.

3/ The 2 lines "Message" and "Conversation" are confusing at first sight. Of course when you know how it works it's clear, but it took me (and some others!) a while to understand. If you select only "Message" or "Message"+"Conversation" there is not much of a difference (only the subject of email for the first notification is different). So, I would suggest to make these 2 settings exclusive (None / ALL messages, / ONLY first message)

4/ Desktop notification is not working for messages. As far as I can see, but not 100% sure. Testing is not easy (https://github.com/humhub/humhub/issues/6052)

I would suggest that we reduce the notification to just one for now.

Maybe later we can implement this to deactivate notifications for individual conversations. https://github.com/humhub/mail/issues/184

Do you mean you suggest to merge "Message" &"Conversation" settings in only one single line? This would suit our needs because in our (small) site the 2 lines are selected by default (I mean notification by email) and as far as I know nobody complained.

But I have in mind that, may be, in some heavily populated sites, or with heavy trafic, some would like to be warned only when a new conversation will begin. This was may be the original idea. This is why I suggested to have these 2 lines as exclusive settings (None / ALL messages, / ONLY first message)

But this is only my "2 cents". Of course I let you decide
