Expand alerts to notifications

Read the project page. It's coming. The module is nowhere near complete right now.

This functionality is now in CVS (will be in the next dev in the form of a submodule).

Should this integrate the messaging module?

The messaging module is unrelated to Appbar, and unrelated to this issue. The concept of Appbar integrating with Messaging doesn't work.

Hi, forgive me if I'm incorrect. But isn't messaging a way to distribute notifications into various channels? If appbar alerts could integrate then wouldn't that allow integration with all the modules that uses messaging? You would have to write a lot of custom code to get custom alerts, as the user chooses. Notifications module already does all that for you?

Regardless, please don't hijack closed and unrelated issues.

There's no point in integrating Appbar with Messaging at the moment because there is no way for Appbar to distinguish between different types of messages sent through one outlet. That means everything going through a system would be forced through Appbar, including long emails, and Appbar is not designed to handle long messages. The Appbar architecture will probably change in the future, at which point Messaging integration may become more realistic.

Anyway, I am much more inclined to go the route of adopting Activity's API, since Activity messages are much more conceptually similar to appbar alerts.

Sorry, re-reading the issue I realized that the topic starter did not mean Notifications the module, whoops.
