Alerts are one of core Osclass features, but also one of most complex. For years there were no news on alerts but it's changing with Osclass 8.3
New extremely important enhancement is that users can now select frequency of alerts. Up to today, all alerts were delivered daily. It is now possible to setup:
Selection is made simply by clicking on wanted frequency.
Before alerts did not have name generated and each time showing alert, Osclass used ID or tried to generate what alert does (some kind of description). Now, when alert is created, name is generated as well using all selected params.
Example: Pattern: Des, User: MaryjoValle, Categories: For sale, Animals, Art - Collectibles (+21), Regions: Alabama, Cities: Detroit
It is now possible to show alert in search page by reproducing search params, filters and conditions to state when it was created.
Example: https://yoursite.com/en/search/iAlertId,41/sAlertSecret,Q05VuVFe
New columns has been added into backoffice with extra action buttons
Alert details and queries:
Sigma theme provides seamless integration in case you want to quickly copy paste code into your theme - user-alerts.php file.
Alerts frequency box:

<?php echo osc_search_alert_url(); ?>Alerts search name:
<?php echo osc_alert_name(); ?>Alerts now provides much more features like frequency, alert name, details, etc. For alert frequency make sure to setup all required CRON commands.
