[$60] Don't hide "Old" notifications when there are no notifications displayed in the notifications drop-down

[vic-georgiev]

Expected behavior

I want to see all notifications I haven't dismissed in the notifications drop-down.

If there are older notifications that are not displayed, when I dismiss my notifications I want to see them into the drop down instead.

The dropdown menu should never be empty when there are notifications that are not dismissed.

Actual behavior

The dropdown menu shows nothing, but there is a link for "Older" notification.

At the notification center I can't see any of the notifications - all are hidden.

The goal is to keep showing the latest unread notifications until all are dismissed; i.e. keep populating the list with notifications. At some point the "older" notifications would disappear, and I'll still see notification messages.

Currently old means notification created 2 days ago and there is an array state maintaining old notifications. Should we remove it ?

[vic-georgiev]

Yes. We don't care about the age of the notification to determine if it is "old" or "new". All notifications that have been seen are deemed "old", and they should follow the rules or the system above: the project group should show the 10 most resent notifications (regardless of age) and hide the 11+ notification(s). Making a notification as read from the 10 top (visible) should load the next notification from the hidden section.

New notifications are ones that haven't been seen by the customer and should be designated with the red dot on the bell, and a left blue border on the notifications page (we don't support that yet I think, might be wrong).

Edit - we're working on this at #1529

Thanks!
