What if instead of sending an email I just want a “New Comments Available” logo to show up next to the link that I have to the activity stream? Currently I have a page where I have various links to other pages. It looks something like this:
-Calendar of Events
-Group Wall “NEW COMMENTS AVAILABLE”
-Documents
So the link that says Group Wall is really directing the user to the activity stream. So anytime there is new activity available you would get that message. How easy would this be to implement?
Thanks for the update. And yes, I want to to do the second option. My website does not have much activity. The activity stream is used almost like a forum where people post questions or leave comments. However, when someone posts a question, none of the members ever know. So the questions go unanswered. I will look into the action hooks that you mentioned. Are there any tutorials on how to use action hooks?
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
