From 1bc421380f5c0235be1c9c260f9303f666aa39bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alec Rust Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 19:11:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Improve HTML5 notification setup instructions (#8385) Looks like there's an alert when enabling notifications which asks for device name, which avoids the need to modify the `html5_push_registrations.conf` file. This updates the instructions to reflect that. --- source/_components/notify.html5.markdown | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/_components/notify.html5.markdown b/source/_components/notify.html5.markdown index 84f4338db7d..04f0edfcf18 100644 --- a/source/_components/notify.html5.markdown +++ b/source/_components/notify.html5.markdown @@ -85,9 +85,11 @@ Assuming you have already added the platform to your configuration: 1.
