EduNotifier Idea "clcAlert" v1

[jloader]

Hi Guys,

 

This is my first post. I've decided to create an application similar to Edunotifier.

 

Please be aware this is BETA.

 

Improvement attempts are:

1. Configuration settings and Messages are now pulled from the server.

2. Balloon Tip no longer needed as using VB form Drawing.

3. Messages can be added without the need to log off and back on.

4. Configuration settings require the client to log off and back on before taking effect.

5. Colours for popup can be used although this will be more effective in a later release.

6. Set Interval for messages to be displayed. However first load will force message to be shown.

7. Picks messages at random from text file.

8. Change the style of Message Balloon from Square to Rounded.

 

Let me know what your thoughts are, and if you have any problems using the application

I forgot to mention if your testing this locally on your machine treat your machine as the server and the client. Put the clcAlert folder in your C:\ and make the folder "clcAlert" a share.

 

Then in the clcAlert.ini

IP: your local ip

SHARE: your local share

 

example

IP: 192.168.1.10

SHARE: clcAlert

 

This will work instead of having to test on the server right away.

EduNotifier is designed to allow server administrators a way of sending a message to all the client work stations. For example: I'm a server administrator and I want to let everyone who log's on know that the server will be rebooted at a certain time during the day due to some unforseen circumstance.

 

Edunotifier sends a little balloon popup in the bottom right cornor of there screen and lets the user know that this will be happening.

 

I'm sorry I'm not really clear but it really is as simple as that. Also easy to install.
