Description

We could do with a mechanism to present messages to the user (e.g. when they log in); this would probably only be used for "system messages", not messages from other users.

Table structure:

  • id
  • moderator id
  • date/time
  • message text
  • read/unread flag

If the user has unread messages on login, show messages (or show some sort of alert and a link). The user always manually clears the unread flag.

Not sure about deletion - need to keep an eye on this. I think initially, because the volume of messages will be low / zero, just keep everything.

Potential uses:

  • "Your email address was removed from your profile" (expired & not re-verified)
  • If a server email to a user bounces, tell them / show the bounce / show the original message
  • Release announcements?
  • "We have had to strip you of your privileges ..." :-)
