Social Group and Album Enhancements - Cel Social Groups Notifications

What does this mod do?

This mod adds social groups to the notifications dropdown. Your members will get notified if there are groups containing unread messages; they need to be members of that group or have to be subscribed to that group. The counter will show how many groups with unread messages there are.


Installation:

Just import the product file in AdminCP->Product Manager. Done.
Make sure you understand and comply with the read marking requirements (see note down this post).


Settings:

• Show notification for new messages in groups the user is a member of, subscribed to, or both
• Select usergroups who can use the mod (i.e. who will get notificatons)
• Select whether to link to usercp.php or group.php
• Make sure you understand and comply with the read marking requirements (see note down this post).

Note: This mod will only work with database and automatic forum read marking!

• This mod will not work with cookies or simple database read marking. This will not be changed and is due to the limitations of the read marking system.
• If the ressources for this trouble you, you don't want to run this modification anyway. Any workarounds would be more ressource intensive than using this option in the first place.
• To set this, go to AdminCP->Settings->Options->General Settings->Thread/Forum Read Marking Type and set this to the third option: Database (automatic forum marking)

Note on ressources:

Note that this modification adds a maximum of two queries to every pageload. Both are not too heavy, going to slave servers only if existent, and there are mechanisms in place to prevent unnecessary querying.

Thanks in advanced,
