When my application publishes a message on the user's wall (through permits streampublish) I want you to get a notification to the user in red. How can I do?
If I can not there are alternative solutions? . For example, I thought to send a private message to you through my application. how can I do?
Showing Notifications
You can do this by using a db column that holds the notification status lets say when the notification_status = 0 the user didn't see the notification yet
when the notification_status = 1 then you send request to server every mount of time lets say 15 seconds and then test weather there is notification_status = 0 or not if yes show a div and send the number of notifications in it
setInterval(function() {
$.post("notifications_tester.php",function(data){
if(data != 0 )
{
$('#notifications_div').show().html(data);
}
else
{
$('#notifications_div').hide().html("");
}
});
}, 15000);
sample what would be in notifications_test.php
session_start();
//connect to the DB
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = '".$user_id."' AND notification_status = 0");
echo mysql_num_rows($q);
