I am a member of a community blog site run by WordPress engine. But I often feel that if there were a notification system like Facebook tracking the site would be much easier. I know about the notification emails and RSS feeds but those do not serve the whole purpose. I need to have notification when:
- Somebody comments on any of my blog posts.
- Somebody comments after any of my comments in any posts.
- My blog post is rated.
Almost like Facebook. Is there any plugin for that?
The BuddyPress bar shows notifications e.g. when someone friends you.
I think you have to search then for BuddyPress plugins that enable your 3 requirements.
and add the code to the filter for the bar on top.
or widget-tify the activity stream per user enriched with whatever more data
Maybe you can even award points for all interaction like here and like the BuddyPress CubePoints plugin
I can’t post a comment yet but just wanted to clarify Edelman’s answer. Out of the box, Buddypress does not have notifications of friend requests as a flag (like (1) on Facebook when there is new activity). What it does instead is show a count of your total friends.
What you suggest will certainly take some hacking as I don’t know of an out-of-the-box solution yet. You may want to take a look at Mark as Read.
