Thinking about notifications #16

Hi,

have you thought of implementing notifications? For example counter in bubble with latest messages in dropdown like on this example Display type: none, increment bubble http://www.plumtheory.com/demos/notification-center/light/#

There is support for this. The user model has a method like newMessagesCount() (can't rember the name of my head, but something like that)

I don't know if I'm blind or what, but I can't find that...

andheiberg commented 10 years ago

Oh sorry :)

I thought you where commenting on my package laravel-messenger.

I don't know why I'm also an admin of this package, although I did contribute to it.

RokSiEu commented 10 years ago

No problem, I will close this one.

andheiberg commented 10 years ago

Well it is still a problem with this package :)

But as the creator of mine I would advice you to use it :D

RokSiEu commented 10 years ago

To use which one, yours or this one? As I'm looking at yours right now, I can't see any issues (through code) that would bother me.

andheiberg commented 10 years ago

I would definetly use mine https://github.com/AndreasHeiberg/laravel-messenger

...but I'm not objective :)

But it uses traits for the user model which means it can work with any user model. It also keeps track of reads.
