I will try to find sometime to correct my instructions to add like plugin notifications, as they work at my forum.
As admin of the forum, and a heavy thread creator and poster at it, I normally find myself with a 100 or 200 notifications on my list.
A way to help with this would be to have grouped notifications, in the same way we have at FB. That means, if a user reply to my thread, I would get a notification. If another user would reply to my thread, the first notification would be deleted and another notification would be created, and its text would include the name of user that replied first. This can be done at the especific notification plugin, but the Alert Plugin could help to implement this via some helper functions.
So instead of:
- Aragorn liked your replied at the thread "Harlem Shake - Mais uma moda Satânica". (Hoje 01:45 PM)
- Sann liked your replied at the thread "Harlem Shake - Mais uma moda Satânica". (Hoje 01:49 PM)
- IJahman liked your replied at the thread "Harlem Shake - Mais uma moda Satânica". (Hoje 01:59 PM)
you could have:
- Aragorn, Sann and IJahman liked your replied at the thread "Harlem Shake - Mais uma moda Satânica". (Hoje 01:45 PM)
This would unbloat the notification queue.
I actually thought in a way of doing this straight at my like alerts modification. When a new like would occur, I would check the database for a unseen alert for that reply. If there was such alert(s), I would save the username and add it to a text field at the new alert. Then when showing the notification. Maybe I would need to do some checks to find the right text to show in the notification, but I think it wouldn't be too difficult.
