How to Exclude Notifications only for Files and Images

[Gilbertdelyon]

Thanks to streamExcludes in common.php new files and new images are excluded from the stream,
So far so good...
... but notifications are still there.

Recently one of our member added 40 new images to an existing gallery.
The result was that each member of the space recieved 40 emails. Not good for the planet and very annoying.

Uploading several images in one set does not change anything.

Please, is there a way to avoid notification for Files and Images and to keep them for posts ??

As well as streamExcludes in common.php, something like this would be useful:

 'notification' => [
        'notificationExcludes' => [
            'humhub\modules\cfiles\bla...bla\File',
            'humhub\modules\gallery\bla...bla\Media',
         ]
    ],

May be possible, but I cannot find

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment.
It relates to the NewContent Notification or?

[Gilbertdelyon]

Thanks for this prompt answer,
I hope this will be improved in a future version.
in the meantime would it be a way to modify the code of gallery module (not a good practice, I know !) so that it doesn't send any notification when content is added?

You can try to add public $silentContentCreation = true; here:
https://github.com/humhub-contrib/gallery/blob/master/models/Media.php#L41

It works! thanks,
Can we expect this enhancement to be part of a future release or should I extend this class in a custom module or somewhere else ?

I can't say when and if/how the feature will be available...

@luke- I've tested this in protected/config/common.php:

    'container' => [
        'definitions' => [
            \humhub\modules\cfiles\models\File::class => [
                'silentContentCreation' => true,
            ],
            \humhub\modules\gallery\models\Media::class => [
                'silentContentCreation' => true,
            ],
        ]
    ],

But it doesn't work. Do you know why?

Maybe it's like class_exists() where ::class can't be used?

<?php

return [
    // Other configurations...

    'container' => [
        'definitions' => [
            'humhub\modules\cfiles\models\File' => [
                'silentContentCreation' => true,
            ],
            'humhub\modules\gallery\models\Media' => [
                'silentContentCreation' => true,
            ],
        ],
    ],

    // More configurations...
];

@ArchBlood Thanks. But it should work with ::class too, see this example: https://community.humhub.com/s/installation-and-setup/wiki/80/Configuration+Examples#hide-activity-box-on-given-space

Did you make sure that there was a silentContentCreation property in those models?

Otherwise I'd see the following being possible if silentContentCreation property isn't in the original model;

<?php

return [
    // Other configurations...

    'container' => [
        'definitions' => [
            'humhub\modules\cfiles\models\File' => 'humhub\modules\cfiles\models\CustomFile',
            'humhub\modules\gallery\models\Media' => 'humhub\modules\gallery\models\CustomMedia',
        ],
    ],

    // More configurations...
];

Yes because these classes extends the ContentActiveRecord one.

This just means that neither class inherited silentContentCreation from the parent class ContentActiveRecord even though they extend from it.
