XF 2.2 Addon alerts automatically marked as read

[mjda]

I noticed that alerts sent from my addon are automatically marked as read when user's view the alerts list, even if they don't view the content. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I'd rather it only mark as read if they view the content, or click the "Mark read" button.

For an example, see XF\PreRegAction\Thread\Create::sendSuccessAlert.

Specifically note the ['autoRead' => false] option when creating the alert. All alert methods support that. (Only compatible with XF 2.2)

...and don't forget to call $userAlertRepo->markUserAlertsReadForContent() when the user views the content

Thanks for the replies, both of you. Working like a charm!
