Notifications

Members receive phpBB notifications (replies, quotes, private messages…), and the platform adds push notifications, sent to the browser or phone even when the forum is not open.

For members

• User Control Panel, Board preferences tab, Edit notification options screen: each notification type is set per method, including the “Notifications on this device” column.
• “Enable push notifications” subscribes the device in use; “Send a test” checks delivery.
• On iPhone and iPad, the forum must first be added to the home screen to receive push notifications.
• The “Manage notifications” screen, Overview tab, lists the notifications received.

For administration

The Tools tab of the administration control panel, Web Push settings screen, enables push notifications and sets up the installable app (name, icons, colours, install prompt).
