Mark notification as read when clicked

[EL PaperBoy]

Without this plugin, when you click a popup notification, either at the bottom of the page (toasts) or in the OS (web notifications), you are taken to that item but the count on the notification icon is not updated and the notification remains marked as unread. This plugin fixes that behaviour, so clicking the popup notification will mark that notification as read - it will no longer show up as bold in the notification list and the notification count will be decremented by one.

Security has been taken into account, so members cannot use this to mark other members' notifications as read.

This plugin doesn't change any other behaviour.
