I have read that someone wanted some ways to be notified when there is a comment. Wouldn't it work with a popup message? Maybe plugins have the option of being notified with popups.

I'd really like some way to be notified of comments too.  Actually this is what I was about to ask for (humbly of course).

I love this plugin.  Have nothing bad to say about it.

It's not possible, at least not to my knowledge.

It wont be possible to notify the post creator as far as I know, just because that's done server side based on the post which keys don't alter.

I know you already said that the post creator couldn't get notifications, but would it be possible for a tagged member to get notifications? If so, the commenter would just have to tag the post creator and they would then get a notification.

Just throwin' out some ideas.

It wont be possible for the same reasons. Keys don't interact with any functionality in the back-end. Keys only purpose, and function is to store data.

Unless you added a super key its not possible lol

[dillonk47polik]

So if this used a super key, it could allow notifications to go to the user when their post is commented on? If so, I personally wouldn't mind if it used a super key.

[Quozzo]

I wont be adding a super user key. If the notification functionality is mimiced by another mod then I will include the option though.

[emmemay]

My board loves the feature but they do want notifications. I'm guessing this can't be done? Or is that a possible work in progress?

Hey I will be adding a notification system with a hook to add notifications using a super user key.
the syntax should end up looking like this
interestsadd(user, interest, body, category, time, image)
User would be the targeted user, interest would be the activity notifying,  body would be the details, category would be the plugin name, time would be true/false to display post time, image would be the default current user's profile image, or a supplied image)
The only two that would be required would be the user and the interest. The rest will default.

I should have this available by early september.

Thanks P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓. I was actually looking into this today and thought that the Yootil library might have it already. I stumbed upon this but it didn't seem to work . Not sure if you're able to take a look or if you want to create one yourself I'm not going to complain. That is if it does what I think it does... why would it need a key otherwise.

Yootil doesn't require a key. However yootil can append notifications to it's bar on the lower left corner and provide a functionality to do so if you use a key. So it's basically a ui you could use.

However you would not get as many customization options.
I want mine set up where it can be placed where the admin wants it and it will look like the facebook notifications bar with options for images and links etc. 
(which i forgot to add link in the example I gave you)

Also I'm going to start using this as a bridge between my plugins, and possibly other plugin authors, with support for multiple keys, eventually.       


Reasons you would want to use this plugin instead of yootil would be:
Yootil is not required.
Your plugins don't require a key but has the option of notifications key by downloading this plugin
Your plugin notifications would combine with mine and other developers
Push/Pop instead of set() will allow no data to be accidentally overwritten.
Custom Notification Options for users to hide notifications they don't like
Custom Placement for admins (add one span tag)
Menu Name customization
Developer Api - One line adds your notification
Support for Improvements
Nice Look
Your plugin name in the list of plugins that use the Interests Notification Center

"Notifications" and "bar" are not the same thing, they are completely different classes that perform a completely different thing.

Im sorry i just assumed yootils classes rolled together. Is it just text oriented storage that you have t place with your own javascript then?
