PHP Help me club these 2 plugin

[meetdilip]

Hi, I am trying to find a basic Like plugin with notifications for Vanilla. Sadly, the Like plugin they have has no notifications. There is a similar plugin by the author which does Poke on profile with notifications. I am trying to find some help to refer the Poke plugin and add the notification part to Like. It would be nice if someone can take a look

Hi Dilip, I want to help, but there's a fair bit of code to look through.
Can you narrow it down for us by sharing what you've tried already?

Your best bet is to figure out how to write a function that sends off a built in notification, or another plugin that can be used easily to write custom notifications.

I'm sorry I cannot jump into the code to do it for you, but I am willing to help a bit more if you can show us what you have tried so far and include some specific code blocks that we can look at.

Can you provide some links to these plugins? I can have a quick look for to see if there's anything obvious.

I've had a look at the Vanilla Forums docs and it seems to only reference email notifications, is that what you're after?

This might be relevant...
It's a post from 2019 regarding Vanilla notifications via API: https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/37020/how-to-send-vanilla-notifications-via-api
I think they have probably made some changes, but this might point you in the right direction... It seems they have a notifications endpoint for API calls to send off custom notifications, so I am hoping it's relatively easy to include one in your plugin code.

Thanks for all the replies. I will have to wait until the next major release before pursuing this plugin. It would be unwise to work on this now. Appreciate your help.
