Introduction
This is a simple notification mod that overrides XenForo's default 'stackAlert()' function to show the actual alerts as notifications.

look.webp

When you get new alerts via ajax, the function 'stackAlert()' is called to show a message like "You have 2 new alerts" at the bottom left corner of the window.

And my thought was: why not change it entirely to show the actual notifications just like Facebook? Well, I didn't go with FB's look instead used the template from this tut: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2014/07/23/notification-styles-inspiration/ (this article actually inspired me to create this add-on :p)

This add-on shows notification when there any unread conversation and any unread alert created by the system.

Demo
Here's a demo video of what this add-on does. Here, the page is refreshed two times, first half is to show that the notification auto closes after 10 seconds and the last half is to show that the notification can be closed by clicking the close button.

Usage
There are no options or tweaks. Just install it and have fun!
To change the look and interface (how long the notification will be shown and stuff) go to: AdminCP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> GoodForNothing Notification (at the very bottom)

Installation
  1. Download & extract archive.
  2. Upload everything from the 'upload' directory.
  3. Import the add-on XML file from admin control panel.

Notes
I created this add-on just for fun, so no bashing please :p

Hehe... Thanks for the review ^.^
Love it, simple but yet awesome much better, in my opinion, than the default popup alert! My laziness brought me to using your add-on. :P It would be pretty cool if XF added this as a core feature! :D

This is a great enhancement to notification, well done and thanks for creating it. It adds some great value to XF and Im sure my users will love it when I eventually convert over to XF from VB4. (running on dev server at the moment)

Really appreciate the review. Glad you like it :D
Wow, this turned out to be pretty neat. I especially like the style Mr Goodie used, it looks really great and very functional. Also, thanks for including the ability to edit in the style properties for folks with dark themes :)

Thank you for the review :) Now that XenForo added restrictions... taking the time to review means a lot to me :)
Works well. Something that adds a little spice to the site, give it that extra niche.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to more great addons like this.
