Notifications for HP IDE Pronq

The extension provides a very simple facebook-like notification service. The implementation is really very basic: no message types, no aggregation of messages. Just a list of notifications, new ones are marked as unseen; after the notification is shown it is marked as seen, but yet remains in the list. It is possible to clear the notification list.

Install

Fast and easy way:

$ cd <IDE source>
$ curl -s https://raw.github.com/korya/hp-ide-notification-extension/master/install.sh | sh

Otherwise, use the steps below.

Manual installation

We will use jsontool in order to modify JSON-formatted configuration files, so first make sure it's installed:

$ npm install -g jsontool

Now clone the extension into your tree:

$ cd <IDE source>
$ git submodule add \
    https://github.com/korya/hp-ide-notification-extension.git \
    app/extensions/hpsw/notifications/1.00

Tell the server to load the extension in server/file-system/extensions/manifest.json:

$ json -I -f server/file-system/extensions/manifest.json \
  -E 'this.defaultExtension.push({"id":"notifications","version":1,"author":"hpsw"})'

In current implementattion, in addition to the installation of the extension, you have to apply a patch, that reserves a space for notification icon by putting a placeholder for it. To apply the patch:

$ cd <IDE source>
$ patch -p1 <app/extensions/hpsw/notifications/1.00/patch.d/00-notification-placeholder.diff
