CMS Made Simple Forums

After installing, I see one unhandled notification in the upper right of my CMSMS admin panel.

Security Issue
Warning: The installation assistant file: cmsms-2.2-install.php still exists in the root directory. As this could potentially be a security vulnerability, please delete it.

Thing is, when I first saw that notification, I deleted the installer php file. Logged out. Logged back in. Notification remains. I would expect it to disappear on the next refresh of the screen, or certainly after logging out.

Cleared cache, logged out and back in, it remains.

So now I see that I have to click the red x in the upper right of that notification description window and then it goes away. That was not the behavior I expected.

That is the expected behavior.

The notifications in 2.2 are completely different from the alerts that were in prior versions. Notifications are stored in the database, and must be explicitly deleted

In this case it is a notification that a test failed. The test runs on a regular interval, asynchronously and if it fails a notification is stored in the database. The notification does not get deleted from the database till you remove it.
