Notifications

[Philipp]

Hello,

what is at the moment displayed in the notifications window at the top (bell icon)?
For me the window is always empty (shows text "no data").
Is there a possibility to be notified x minutes before a call/meeting starts? Please move to feature requests if not. Thank you.

Kind regards,
Philipp

Hi

If you setup cron (Administration >> Scheduled Jobs) you will receive notifications related to records you follow. Events reminders feature is in our roadmap.

I am using a hosted server and just set up a cronjob which runs every 5 minutes.
Do I have to do something else directly in EspoCRM to get it work?
How can I test if it's working properly?

1. Create record under User 1 and assign to User 2
2. Login as User 2 and you should see notification if the feature works.

Hi,

it does not seem to work for me.
Should there be entries in table "scheduled_job_log_record"? Does the cron.php produce an output? Can you describe the function a little bit more detailed? which tables are used in which order?

Kind regards,
Philipp

Not sure whether log works in 2.4 version. Take a look to job table after cron run.

Hi,

I got it working now. I had a problem with the cronjob configuration.
I cannot directly call your cron.php from a crontab like discribed in "administration - scheduled jobs".
I had to write a script and call this script from a cronjob. The script looks like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/php5.5.14-cli
<?php
exec('/usr/local/bin/php5.5.14-cli -f /kunden/349905_63477/EspoCRM.Test/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1');
exit(0);
?>

Maybe this helps someone with the same problem.

Other question: When is the delete-flag set for a notification? When I click on "mark all read" the notification does not disappear. When does it disappear?

Not sure why you can't just call the cron script like this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /[location_of_your_installation]/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Make sure you are editing the crontab for the user which runs the webserver.

sudo crontab -u www-data -e

Look in the database table job, if there is a job with status 'Pending' or 'Running' then it will stop other jobs from running. You should delete these rows. I had this issue while testing my eventbrite job.

No ability to remove notifications. Mark all read will remove NEW mark.
