Hi :wave:
I am creating my own web app connecting through databases and dynamic pages.
What I need is when a user A comments on user B’s post then he should get the notification about it, but I’m missing the logic behind that. How to achieve it?
Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

If you have a database of ‘messages’ then you can do the following →

  1. Add a field called ‘status’.
  2. When the user inserts message to the database, the status should be ‘wait’.
  1. In the home page of the user, query the filed ‘‘status’’ of ‘‘message’’ database.
  2. Return all the items that matches ‘wait’
    Eg: for query → 
wixData.query("messages")      //database
  .eq("status", "wait")     //field name and value
  .find()
  .then( (results) => {
    if(results.items.length > 0) {
      let items = results.items;
      let totalCount = results.totalCount; // get the total 
  count of messages, the user haven't seen yet

    } else {
     console.log("No messages yet!!");
    }
  } );

Then on the dynamic page (or normal page) of notifications.
If you have a repeater you can query exactly like above → 

wixData.query("messages")      //database
  .eq("status", "wait")     //field name and value
  .find()
  .then( (results) => {
    if(results.items.length > 0) {
      let items = results.items;
      $w('#repeater1').data = items;

    } else {
     console.log("No messages yet!!");
    }
  } );

@yisrael-wix man you are unbearable! It doesn’t teach anything, it only complains … This is a knowledge exchange community. If you can’t contribute, help, it doesn’t hurt. Bad mood, without sorority, without humility. Every post I see has a comment from you. It should be banned.
