>do we have the option to issue a system-wide message in tryton, e.g. to >announce a downtime or something?No. The only idea I have that vaguely looks like this idea is to use the email field of res.user to send a message to everyone.Proposal: The system admin enters a system message with expiry date. As soon as a logged-in user performs an activity a pop-up comes up and shows the message (only one time!). Additional, the message should be shown on every log-on until the expiry date is reached or the message is removed manually. Can we take this as a feature request?
Well, you're free to create a bug, write a blueprint, discuss this design and then submit a codereview implementing the final design :D. I think that there is indeed a need for some communication system, I made once a UI design proposal about comments that could be added on the any ressources. Then there is your need of showing a message to every connected users. Maybe those two needs can be generalized into something that would work in both case? Cédric and Bertrand will probably remember that I have talked about integrating XMPP into tryton (but without the slightest idea of what it would do and how it should work). But I'd like to add that just as tryton should not be considered an email client, I don't think that tryton should be considered a jabber/messaging/whatever client. -- Nicolas Évrard - B2CK SPRL E-mail/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
