thanks I shall!
however, if someone could tell me once and for all what falls under “Notifications” I’d sleep soo well tonight.
I’m a pretty good googler, but I just can’t find a straight definition of what notifications are. I really tried.
I tried the plugin, it shows a link to the comment under the notifications tab, but it doesn’t display a count, still says “0”.
Also, it won’t load the notification in line,
gets this error
There was a problem marking that notification.
Hi @deepbevel
The notification types in BP core are:
- ‘new_at_mention’
- ‘friendship_request’
- ‘friendship_accepted’
- ‘new_membership_request’
- ‘membership_request_accepted’
- ‘membership_request_rejected’
- ‘member_promoted_to_admin’
- ‘member_promoted_to_mod’
- ‘group_invite’
- ‘new_message’
Plugins might add their own notifications on top of these but this is a comprehensive list for BP version 1.9.2.
thanks for that,
okay, so mentions are their own component, and it looks like activity comments only have email notifications but no profile notification, unless I use a plugin.
is there a difference between activity comments and activity replies?
Also, what exactly constitutes an “update”?
Regarding notifications for activity comments, see this open ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5395
will that create in-profile notifications for activity comments? it looks like it address a more complex issue.
Humm… Looking at the proposal and the patch, it doesn’t look like ‘in-profile’ notifications are factored in yet. Just email notifications at the moment it seems.
bp_notifications_add_notification() does the adding of an ‘in-profile’ notification. See here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-notifications/bp-notifications-functions.php#L35
Yes, that’s always bugged me, everything else is in profile. It would be great if there was a way for a logged in member to see immediately if anyone commented on any their activity posts.
thank you for the info, I may work more with the plugin you referred to, see if I can get it working right.
