Feature Request - Ability to make a System Wide Popup Notification

Open jaimedmp opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Good day,

I would like to request a system-wide popup notification.

This feature will provide the ability to announce scheduled maintenance or updates.

Here is the ideal notification style that I envision: https://tympanus.net/Development/NotificationStyles/bar-slidetop.html

Thank you!

Hi! We already added the ability to show notifications in v2, used react-hot-toast for that. But we find the idea of showing notifications during an update very useful. At the moment we just show that there is no connection. Do you have an idea how this could be done?

Notifications during updates are indeed beneficial. In my server configuration, I have already set up an HTML document to be displayed when a 502 error occurs or when Planka is unavailable.

Regarding contributions to the code, I am currently unable to engage in this aspect.

I would like to propose the following enhancements:

  • Modify the default role for newly registered accounts in a fresh setup to Super Administrator.
  • Introduce a feature that allows the Super Administrator to schedule System-Wide Notifications.
  • An example of such a notification could be: "Please be advised that system maintenance is scheduled to occur at a specified time and date."

I recognize that version 2 already includes a notification feature, but a notification that requires user intervention to close would be exceptionally beneficial. This feature I propose ensures that the notification is carefully read and understood.

Please let me know if you require any clarification from me.

Thank you so much!

It's more clear to us now, thanks for the details!

This would be great to be expanded to browser notifications so if I have Planka open in my browser but am focussing on something else I could get a desktop notification from Firefox (or whichever browser) to let me know X task on Y board is due or coming due soon.
