How do you initialize a NotificationController
in DNN 7.1.2?
I've tried:
var nc = new DotNetNuke.Services.Social.Notifications.NotificationController();
However this is empty and has no methods to call... Am I initializing the wrong thing?
Surely there should be something in there other than ToString
, GetType
, Equals
and GetHashCode
I need to be able to create NotificationTypes and create Notifications.
Thanks
You can use NotificationsController.Instance.SendNotification
method to send notifications.
Here is the example:
var notificationType = NotificationsController.Instance.GetNotificationType("HtmlNotification");
var portalSettings = PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings();
var sender = UserController.GetUserById(portalSettings.PortalId, portalSettings.AdministratorId);
var notification = new Notification {NotificationTypeID = notificationType.NotificationTypeId, Subject = subject, Body = body, IncludeDismissAction = true, SenderUserID = sender.UserID};
NotificationsController.Instance.SendNotification(notification, portalSettings.PortalId, null, new List<UserInfo> { user });
This will send notification to a specific user.
