XF has it too and I find it to be extremely helpful. Though it doesn't have all options that IPB has.

Re: [RFC] notification box
Something else, I would like to see some hooks in this as well, so that mod authors can hook into this and have their own messages come up here. One example, when someone rate a image in a gallery mod or when a file has been updated/uploaded in a download mod.

Re: [RFC] notification box
Screenshot of how it looks now (it obviously needs a lot of work on the style yet).
I'm also keeping a done/to-do list in the PR: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/992

Nice! keep it goin'!
Re: [RFC] notification box
Would it be possible to add support for notifying about being quoted?
Also perhaps the number of unread notifications appearing in the favicon like http://xenforo.com/community/resources/ ... dates.274/ ?

That's being discussed in another RFC somewhere, iirc.Unknown Bliss wrote:Would it be possible to add support for notifying about being quoted?

Re: [RFC] notification box
I've added them to my to-do list.
Some ideas on design (where to put the notifications text, or if an icon should be used, where the box should show up, etc) would be good.

Re: [RFC] notification box
Another notification that I'd like is Bookmarked topics that were updated. Sometimes I bookmark a topic for reference for haven't posted to it or subscribed to it, but it would be nice to see if somebody had updated it.
An alternative would be to automatically subscribe people to topics that they bookmark, but that doesn't fit in this RFC.

Re: [RFC] notification box
What happens if lots of notifications are listed there (enough to fill the screen)? Will the list scroll?EXreaction wrote:Screenshot of how it looks now (it obviously needs a lot of work on the style yet).
I'm also keeping a done/to-do list in the PR: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/992
Also, I'd like the list to be categorized by notification type, with fly-out menus giving links to items of that category. For example:
Code: Select all
5 new private messages > | From User 1
7 new subsciption updates | From User 2
0 new bookmark updates | From User 3
| From User 4
| From User 5
With hooks, MODs could add their own categories to the list and notifications to those categories (like *Daniel suggested).
