To make
@meetdilip happy, here it is a first beta of an addon that adds the number of notifications to the favicon of your browser. :)
Completely untested the installer, apart from that the addon is pretty basic, and shoud Just Work
TM... as usual! xD
I used this pre-made js library:
https://github.com/ejci/favico.js
it's not as flexible as I wanted at the beginning, but for now will do.
As soon as I set up a github repo I'll post it to the addons site. ;D
Neat idea lol..but won't it be tough if there are more than 9 notices? AFAIK the favicon is 16x16 image...not alot to put something else into.
Strike that, I read on the favicon specs that they can be bigger actually. But still, on my chrome tabs they are miniscule things...
I guess so, in such a tiny space you can't put much...
I think mobile devices use different favicon sizes but probably not for the tabs, but for bookmarks and/or other stuff like that, so probably not "affected" but this trick.
Fun :D Its actually easier to read when there are double digit values, at least on the demo page.
What is included in the notification totals? (sure I could look at the code, but you know :P )
The number next to the mentions menu. :P
it's a good start ;) I'm pretty sure I'll use it when notifications will be more complete ;) I know you have some plans for 1.1 or next version
Hey... This is a nice addon. Thumbs up.
But I haven't started on android app notification yet.
You know, you guys are simply awesome :love:
I'm working a little bit to add that one to 1.1, with an additional ajax call to keep it up to date.
Objections? O:-)
no objections, I only hope it will not be hungry in hosting resources ;)
I added a probing at 10 seconds (hard-coded, no interface to change it), if this kills a server... then the server is already dead to begin with. ;D
While I was at it I shoved in also the desktop notifications (just fancy stuff :P).
I'm done with it! https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/pull/2156
One less addon to support! :P
Brilliant !!!
/me runs to put Elk on a feeding frenzy :P
LOL
Still... I'd say put a checkbox to deactivate it in case someone doesn't want it.
