CB Activity 6.x - auto update

CB Activity 6.x - auto update was created by dg1
Good morning,

1) I would like to confirm whether in the current version of CB Activity the automatic update of notifications also applies to the counter of unread notifications in the Button/ButtonCount template.
In version 5.x, the unread notification counter was updated.
Currently, probably not. From my tests, automatic notification update currently does not apply to the counter or notifications in the modal window.

2) A more serious problem I encountered in connection with automatic updating of entries is related to a possible conflict when two CB Activity modules are shown on the website at the same time.
For example, the website has a CB Activity module enabled in the "Notifications" mode and another CB Activity module in the "Activity" mode.
Currently, none of them are updated regardless of the "auto_update" parameter settings in notifications or in a specific activity stream.
The same thing happens in the "Activity" tab in GroupJive, user profile, etc.
After hiding/removing the CB Activity module from the page in the "Notifications" mode, the remaining module will automatically update correctly according to the "auto_update" parameter settings.
If two CB Activity modules are placed on the website in "Activity" mode at the same time, only the first one will be updated correctly. In the second case, the update does not work.

In version 5.x this problem also occurred, but in a "mild" form.
After turning off automatic notification updates in the CB Activity module, the second module was updated correctly.

The tests were carried out in Joomla! 3.10 on FireFox and Chrome. 

I would be grateful for a tip on how to configure streams to ensure proper operation of the auto update function.
Regards,

It currently does not update the button, no. Have added a bug ticket to fix in a future release.

Both should auto update properly, but I honestly don't recommend having more than 1 stream per page regardless. I've added a bug ticket to look into this further for a future release.

Hi,

Could you consider the possibility of supplementing CB Activity - Notifications with the function of playing a short sound (beep) when new unread notifications appear?
This probably only makes sense when using the Button/ButtonCount template.
Such a function should be configurable (on/off) by the administrator and should also enable or disable it via an additional user field.
Please tell me what you think about it?

No, that's just extremely annoying for end users. You're welcome to look into adding that yourself though.

If it is possible to add this functionality so as not to lose changes with each CB Activity update, I will be happy to do so.
Can you suggest a direction I should go?
Using CB Auto Actions seems to be a good approach. However, please tell me which trigger should I use?

I assume you mean add the beeping sound? There isn't a trigger for the notifications button so the only way would be a template override. I however will add a trigger for the notifications button as that'd be a good addition.

Will try to have this available today, but it'll probably be something like the following.
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'activity_onDisplayNotificationButton', [ $unread ] );

That would give the number of unread notifications so it'd be easy to extend this with some JavaScript that plays a sound when the unread count is greater than 0.
