Is there any OOB Method to set a Notification / Message on Portal Pages
*This post is locked for comments
Hi,
No there is not out of the box but you can add a panel/div and show your message on the portal pages using Jquery.
as far as I know, there is no OOB feature for this
you can create a custom Notification entity to create your notifications
in the Portal Header Web Template (after the profile navigation menu), you can add a FetchXML to retrieve this records and show a bell icon (or any custom icon)
{% assign countNotification = query.results.entities.size %}
<li>
<a class="navbar-icon" href="{{notificationUrl}}" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="{{ snippets["Header/Notification/ToolTip"] }}" >
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-bell"></span><span id="notificationcount" class="badge badge-pill badge-danger">{{ countNotification }} </span>
</a>
</li>
Hi Oliver,
Could you provide an example how should looks a custom Notification entity? How to connect custom Notification entity with your code above? Shall I replace the {{notificationUrl}} ?
I need to create a new web template where I display notifications from notifications entity? On your screen you have info about new '17' notifications how to achieve similar effect?
Could present one example?
Thank you in advance!
hi Mateusz
{{notificationUrl}} is basically a variable for my notifications view page.. you can also hardcode or use siteMarker for this.. but for making it simple you can have directly your page, example: /my-notifications
in my scenario this notification page is basically an entity list showing the notifications of the current logged in user
you don't need to create a new web template.. unless you want something specific as rendering.. in my case I am using OOB "Full Page" web template.. and displaying as a list
the "17" notifications like I mentioned in the previous comment, I have a FetchXML in my Header Web Template so I can get the count of records
I've seen some blog posts also with another approach.. which you actually store the notification count within the Contact record (this can be a rollup field probably).. but I decided to go for the fetch
Under review
