Will I be able to add a facebook style notifcation system when using codeigniter
#1

I am no where near up to adding notifcations to my website idea. And I have lot of reading and learning to do. But usually node.js pops up when searching about how to make a notification systems. (I don't really understand what node js is yet or if that needs to intereact with codeigniter or not.)

So I'm not looking for detailed answers explaining how. I just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time making a whole site in codeigniter. Is it possible to add a notification system while using codeigniter? Otherwise I would have to have people constantly refreshing page to see whether someone has commented or not, which would not be acceptable these days.

Yes, you are fine with CI.

Node.js is a javascript library (in essence) and like all JS packages, can be used with CI. CI does not limit you in any way. Anything you normally could do with PHP alone you can do with CI.

Good luck and best wishes,

Paul.
