Synth Notification Bundle

The concept of this bundle is to provide a notification system, much like that of Facebook (but a basic version at present).

Very much a work in progress! Feel free to fork and fix as you see fit =)

PLEASE NOTE: There are a lot of bundle assumptions here, as it's mostly been tailored for a single use case.

Installation

Update your deps file, and add the following lines:

[SynthNotificationBundle]
    git=http://github.com/synthmedia/SynthNotificationBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Synth/NotificationBundle

After that, just install the new dependencies:

$ ./bin/vendor install

Register the bundle namespace in the autoloader (if you haven't already):

// app/autoloader.php
$autoloader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'Synth'       => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

Finally, make sure that the SynthNotificationBundle is registered in the application kernel:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new Synth\NotificationBundle\SynthNotificationBundle(),
    );
}

At present, the bundle only supports orm, sorry! If anyone is interested in helping out with an odm adaptation, give us a shout.

Basic Usage

Out of the box, the bundle assumes you're using the FOSUserBundle for your user authentication. If you're not, just make sure you implement the abstract Notification class in the Model directory.

Types

These allow separation between notifications, giving developers the choice of displaying everything (a la Facebook), or individual notifications for a specific section.

Future Development

Areas we'd like to work on and perfect, but aren't 'mission critical', if you will:

• Multiple from users - being able to group notifications from more than one person (Joe, Mark and Chris liked your link)
