Notifications not working? (Online Friends, Mail,

Previously, there was a number indicator telling you how many friends were online, new mail, etc. I am not seeing any of those anymore.

I uploaded a screenshot that shows there is a friend online, but I never saw the notification.

yeah i don't see mine either.  I think the red bubble will show only if you have friend request(s).   

I think it's possible to change from friend request to online friend function for that part.  Can't have two functions in one tho.

Not sure why that would be. It would seem that 'knowing' you have friends online would be a little more important than the friend request itself. Especially since you can see those on the Account page.

Yes, this does not seem right, in .9 we got both right..

 I agree with you. Friend request blocks are everywhere now.  One in member.php.. one in communicator.php and even one on someone's profile (the one who is requesting you).  It would be nice to have a number of online friends there instead.  

 I believe in .9 we got the number of online friends but in order to see the friend requests you would have to click the icon.

 i just checked my 7.0.9 site.. yep you're right.  How odd!

Hey AlexT, you need to fix this issue or the puppy gets it!!

Just joking. Can you take a look into this?

Hey Newton27,

I think you sent me an IM regarding a SVN that fixes this? Not sure since I didn't get a chance to read it.

Can anyone point me in the direction where I can fix this. It is really annoying not knowing that I have friends online or any other indicators for that matter (like new mail for example).

 I first misunderstood what you were meaning.

I did not fix, this need to be other way round like Patrick and you say.

 it should show when you have new mail.

 Nope. Just sent an email to my admin account and I saw the little notification popup at the top right of screen, but still nothing on the bottom member bar. If I click the main icon, I can see there is new mail.. Of course this is the same thing I am seeing with online friends.

Can anyone else validate this?

I stand corrected. It seems my FireFox was having a bit of an attitude so I restarted it. I CAN see the indicator for new mail..

However, there still isn't one showing how many friends are online.

It shows "friend request", not "online friends" since Dolphin 7.1

 Thanks Alex. I know it may not be proper, but is there a way to edit the code and have show for online friends instead of new friend requests? I stated earlier, I can see friend requests in several places of the site.

 Yes, sure, just change get_member_menu_bubble_friend_requests to get_member_menu_bubble_online_friends in sys_menu_member table in Bubble field for row with Name = Friends.

Thank you very much Alex. Worked like a charm.

well, it works, but one issue still remains: the member menu is not auto-refreshed...

If you don't refresh the page, or browse to another page, you get no notifications.

Use of AJAX is quite needed here...

Simple messenger does it (sends "get" requests every X seconds), so should the other notifications do.

If anyone is experiencing an issue with mail/online members notifications not being updated, the fix is described here:

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/3234#ticket

The issue is that when you get a new message for example, the member menu is not updated with a new message notification (or the message count is not updated), until you refresh the page.

I've experienced it with Dolphin 7.1.1 (which has most of 7.1.2 patches on it).
