What is a "mobile notification"?

[CarolineS]

Hello fine folks!

I'm reviewing the new notification settings features (documented here) in preparation for my community's upgrade to 19.6.  One of the options is to "Turn off all mobile notifications" - but I'm not sure what the mobile notifications are.

Are these something that's only relevant if you've done some custom mobile app development, perhaps? 

Thanks!

Hi Caroline,
This is the setting for mobile push notifications when you built an app (or app integration) using the Khoros Community mobile SDK: https://github.com/lithiumtech/li-android-sdk-core/wiki/Setting-up-push-notifications

Ah ha, thanks!

It would be nice if there was an option to hide this checkbox for communities where there is no app / app integration. I assume that's not possible except perhaps with some CSS?

Cheers!

Yes, CSS is the way to go here. You could use something like this which will hide the 4th entry in the notification settings list.

.MyProfilePage .lia-notifications-settings-form .lia-form-row:nth-of-type(5) {
    display: none;
}
