I've been trying to use notifications for project-manager, instead of "rolling my own" notifications.
There are several sources of information on how to use notifications, but no official documentation at this point:
Notifications tutorial - https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=108283
Bug to add in notifications docs - https://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/com/notifications/bug?bug%5fnumber=573
Original docs for notifications - http://web.archive.org/web/20020625161109/http://dotlrn.openforce.net/doc/notifications.adp
I'm having some problems getting notifications to do anything at all. It seems like calls like the following:
notification::new \
-type_id [notification::type::get_type_id \
-short_name task_added_notif] \
-object_id $p_id \
-response_id null \
-notif_subject $subject \
-notif_text $notification_text
don't do anything at all, including throw an error. I've tried using the OACSH in developer support, and I get errors like this:
ERROR:
Too many positional parameters specified
while executing
"new__arg_parser"
(procedure "notification::new" line 1)
invoked from within
"notification::new \
"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel $script"
but that looks like a problem with the backslashes or something, and I'm not getting any errors in my log file, just no notifications.
I also am not getting anything done in the notifications tables. The notification type is added in, but nothing else seems to be added in after the notification::new call.
Any advice here? Also, the notifications tutorial says to use user_id for object_id. Is that right?
