Lack of interest Realtime / Autoupdate Alerts

[majdi]

alerts should autoupdate using ajax, no need to refresh

Uhh... check your XenForo bar NOW!. (I mean in a few secs.. I will send you a PC and then you will see the light... )

That's what I'm talking about. I don't see that here.

Ah, sorry... now I get your point. I misunderstood.

I was thinking about this today. It'd be nice to have this for both alerts and PCs. It could be combined into a single number, or differentiated with a slash ("3/1" = 3 alerts, 1 PC) or something.

You mean like how ip.chat does it?

Yep. Facebook does the same thing for both chat messages as well as notifications/alerts.

Great idea.

I was also thinking about this, it'd be a nice implementation.

That said though .. I browse around enough and feel involved on this ( a xf forum ) site, that I didn't first realize it wasn't ajax updated. Goin to new content, or a friends profile, or updating a thread, etc .. it shows the alert in the top - and Then you have time to address it .. So it's all good with me. But yeah, an option to turn it on, so when you are idle on the ajax (plz!) news feed page, any alert incoming will show up after say 5 minutes .. even that would make being part of an active community worth it. I can totally see myself in the backend working on the site, with the news feed active on second monitor, getting an alert that the PM i was waiting for has arrived .. oh man! that would be so nice.

Someone can create a mod that displays a bottom taskbar or something. That toolbar/taskbar can have this type of thing implemented. Ive seen it done on other sites.
Im not a huge fan of sites with bottom bars like that, but sometimes they work, when they arent stuffed with too much stuff.

Hey guys,

I have been thinking, and I would like a feature like in facebook that in the title is standing (3) after the title which indicated the amount of alerts.

If not standard, I'll make it as a Modification

E.g. Instead of

<title>XenForo Community</title>

<title>XenForo Community (3)</title>

Of course the (x) shouldn't show if you're not logged in or if you don't have alerts.

Which title do you mean?
Can you clarify?

Do you mean the browser tab?

I'm considering this as a must-have plugin if it not default. Great suggestion +1

I think he wants displaying number of alerts in page title (<title> tag), like on Facebook or GMail.

Sorry I don't use either of those, can someone post a screenshot?

See the red box.

 

[Paul B]

So he does mean the browser tab as I suggested?

Yep. Although, in some browsers, it's still in the window title.

 

[Vincent]

Yes, it's the browser tab
