Q2A Plugin: On-Site-Notifications like Facebook/Stackoverflow

Question 1

I have decided to do something good for the community - I especially want to thank Gideon and Scott and early developer NoahY. From those guys I learnt a lot regarding q2a and PHP over the past years - so please see my free release as a contribution to you :)

Instead of charging for the On-Site-Notifications Plugin I release it for free.

Screenshot:

Description: Facebook-like / Stackoverflow-like notifications on your forum's website that can replace all email-notifications.

Video-URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C86rdJkGP3k&wide

"Your users complain because they get too many notification emails from your forum? You lose overview and you do not know anymore what new events are important for you? Then the On-Site-Notification-Plugin is the perfect solution for you."

more info at: https://github.com/q2apro/q2apro-on-site-notifications

Installation Note: If you are using the q2a history plugin, you should disable/remove it from your installation before installing this plugin. Otherwise events would be written twice to the database.

Question 2

For everyone who is interested in the continuing development of this plugin, you have the chance to help proceeding the development by a little donation, see details here: http://www.question2answer.org/qa/41161/donate-to-proceed-the-development-of-q2a-site-notifications

Question 3

Wondering if it is compatible with QA 1.7.1????

Question 4

Hello @truthonlytruth, the plugin is compatible with Q2A 1.7.1... I am currently running it on my website...

Question 5

If a member sends me a message, I cannot see it in the notification.

Question 6

Two questions:

How do you delete notifications? or is there a auto function that deletese nofitifcations?
in IE 11 if there is a Google adsense ad, the notification window hiding under the ad? Is there something that I can do?

Thanks

Question 7

1. You either delete the answer/question/comment, then the notifications should disappear. The direct way would be table qa_eventlog, search for the event and delete it.
2. Without seeing your site, hard to tell. The nfyWrap has already a CSS "z-index:999;". If the other div is on top, it probably has a higher z-index. Try changing the #nfywrap z-index to e.g. 5000.

Question 8

Thank you for the answer
My point on deleting the notification was that table is going to get large...
I think there should be a function to delete old notification for example if we display last 50 notification, plugin should delete anything more than 50....

Otherwise the table will get larger and larger in database

Question 9

Well, here is a screenshot showing notification window hiding behind google adsense ad (IE 11)

2. Without seeing your site, hard to tell. The nfyWrap has already a CSS "z-index:999;". If the other div is on top, it probably has a higher z-index. Try changing the #nfywrap z-index to e.g. 5000.

You gave me this, but did not fix the problem

Question 10

what is your site?

Question 11

Hey thank you for the great plugin...

My notification data is getting bigger and bigger, piling up...

I need to delete notification older than 30 days or something like that

Would you please give me a sql line that I can run in database and clean old nofification or would you add a function into the plugin that we can use it or something else?

Thank you for your help

Question 12

INTERVAL was missing. Just try again.

Question 13

Still getting same error message

::::::::::::::
SQL query:

qa_eventlog WHERE datetime > NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'qa_eventlog WHERE datetime > NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY' at line 1
::::::::::::::::::::::

Question 14

Then use the unix timestamp: DELETE FROM qa_eventlog WHERE datetime < UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY))

Here you find other delete statements: http://stackoverflow.com/q/9734901/1066234

Question 15

1. open phpmyadmin, find table qa_eventlog

2. backup: click on Export and export as file

3. click on SQL and do the query:
DELETE FROM `qa_eventlog` WHERE `datetime` < NOW() - INTERVAL 5 DAY

Question 16
