@valuser That’s the right kind of thing, thanks. I was replying direct from email links here, I didn’t get one for your update. Looks right though, thanks again.
Sorry, maybe my above explanation wasn’t clear. Say Paul Gibbs submits an update “Buddypress is great”, I’m looking for a feature to allow me to share / resubmit that myself, to be seen by my own followers.
Activity plus allows users to share different media types.
I’d like to be able to share the updates of any user with other users, potentially regardless of media type (although photo functionality is poor in BP) – same as ‘Share’ or ‘Retweet’.
I’ll have a look at 2.0 when it’s ready. If a count feature hasn’t been implemented I’ll have to look at changing it from the numeric character to an icon to purely indicate notifications are present. I’m just trying to look at everything from a users point-of-view who may never have usd the BP interface. The ‘1’ means very little, or implies only a single notification.
In terms of screen refreshing from what I can tell, the notification type isn’t relevant, the count will be cleared regardless. In comparison to Facebook notifications for example, they are only cleared when the user has seen the notification summary at a minimum. BP just clears them with a screen refresh. If this behaviour is the same in 2.0 I’ll be disabling it, I don’t think it’s user friendly. A notification could be too easily lost unintentionally.
