FR - Server: Notices to Users

[Koleckai Silvestri 1154]

Would like to be able to push notices to users through the system. The notice would be pushed to the client and displayed on the screen when created. The user can delete the notice and not be bothered again unless it is a persistant notice.

 

Options:

Text - Text of the notice. 

Start Date - When to start displaying the notice. If empty, current date.

End Date - When to stop displaying the notice.

Persistant - If selected, the end user can't dismiss it.

Users - checklist of users to send the notice to.

 

Examples:

 

Sent only to user Suzy.

 

 

Sorry Suzy, You have been grounded from the television. Your permissions will be restored on April 15th, 2014.

 

Sent to everyone

 

 

Remember the Family Camping Trip on June 24th, 2014

 

Christmas Movie Message

 

 

The Holidays are just around the corner. A Christmas Movie Collection has been made available for your Enjoyment

 

Deleting Content

 

 

Due to lack of viewing of the following television series they will be archived and eventually deleted. Series: Series A, Series B, Series C. If you are planning to watch these series, let dad know before May 1st, 2014.

 

This would require client support as well for the format and display of the Notices.

The remote control API actually already contains a message command.  It just isn't implemented in very many things yet. Or, maybe anything?

That would be a step forward but it would be a one-time blast to a specific client correct? Not sent to a user regardless of what client they are on.

I don't recall exactly but it isn't as detailed as what you requested here I'm sure.
