```

## Usage

### Accessing Notifications

1. **Admin Dashboard**: Navigate to `/Managenashaajobs/notifications/`
2. **Notification Badge**: Unread count displayed in admin header
3. **Recent Notifications**: Dropdown in admin header (if implemented)

### Filtering Notifications

```
# View all notifications
/Managenashaajobs/notifications/

# View only unread
/Managenashaajobs/notifications/?status=unread

# View only read
/Managenashaajobs/notifications/?status=read

# Filter by type
/Managenashaajobs/notifications/?type=pending_payment
```

### Management Commands

Run daily via cron to check for expiring subscriptions:
```bash
python manage.py check_expiring_subscriptions
```

Add to crontab:
```
0 9 * * * cd /path/to/project && python manage.py check_expiring_subscriptions
```

## Database Migration

Run the migration to add new notification types:
```bash
python manage.py migrate custom_admin
```

## Notification Triggers

### Automatic (via Signals)
- Job applications
- Payment submissions
- Support tickets
- Contact enquiries
- New jobs
- Study abroad applications
- User registrations
- Subscription changes
- Login monitoring

### Manual (via Management Command)
- Expiring subscriptions (run daily)

### Manual (via Views)
- Bulk actions
- Payment gateway failures (in payment callback)

## API Endpoints

### Mark as Read
```
POST /Managenashaajobs/notifications/<id>/mark-read/
```

### Mark as Unread
```
POST /Managenashaajobs/notifications/<id>/mark-unread/
```

### Mark All as Read
```
POST /Managenashaajobs/notifications/mark-all-read/
```

### Bulk Actions
```
POST /Managenashaajobs/notifications/bulk-action/
Data: {
    action: 'mark_read' | 'mark_unread' | 'delete',
    notification_ids: [1, 2, 3, ...]
}
```

## Customization

### Adding New Notification Types

1. Add to `NOTIFICATION_TYPES` in `models.py`
2. Create notification function in `notification_utils.py`
3. Add signal handler in `signals.py` (if automatic)
4. Create migration
5. Add icon/color in template (optional)

### Example:
```python
# models.py
NOTIFICATION_TYPES = [
    # ... existing types
    ('custom_event', 'Custom Event'),
]

# notification_utils.py
def notify_custom_event(obj):
    return create_admin_notification(
        notification_type='custom_event',
        title=f'Custom Event: {obj.name}',
        message=f'Description of event',
        link=reverse('custom_admin:detail', args=[obj.id]),
        related_object_id=obj.id,
        related_object_type='ModelName',
    )

# signals.py
@receiver(post_save, sender=YourModel)
def handle_custom_event(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        try:
            notify_custom_event(instance)
        except Exception:
            pass
```

## Testing

### Test Notification Creation
```python
from custom_admin.utils.notification_utils import notify_new_application
from jobs.models import JobApplication

application = JobApplication.objects.first()
notify_new_application(application)
```

### Test Signal Triggers
```python
# Create a new job application
application = JobApplication.objects.create(...)
# Notification should be created automatically

# Check notifications
from custom_admin.models import AdminNotification
AdminNotification.objects.filter(notification_type='new_application')
```

## Performance Considerations

1. **Signals wrapped in try-except**: Notification failures won't break main functionality
2. **Indexed fields**: `is_read` and `created_at` are indexed for fast queries
3. **Pagination**: List view uses pagination (20 per page)
4. **Selective queries**: Only fetch necessary related objects

## Security

- All notification views require `@admin_required` decorator
- CSRF protection on all POST requests
- No sensitive data in notification messages
- Links validated through Django URL resolver

## Troubleshooting

### Notifications not appearing
1. Check if signals are registered: `custom_admin.apps.ready()` called
2. Verify migration applied: `python manage.py showmigrations custom_admin`
3. Check signal exceptions in logs

### Duplicate notifications
1. Signals may fire multiple times in development
2. Add uniqueness checks in signal handlers
3. Use `created` flag in `post_save` signals

### Performance issues
1. Add database indexes if needed
2. Use `select_related()` for foreign keys
3. Implement notification archiving/cleanup

## Future Enhancements

- [ ] Email notifications for critical alerts
- [ ] Push notifications (browser)
- [ ] Notification preferences per admin user
- [ ] Notification archiving (auto-delete old read notifications)
- [ ] Notification categories/grouping
- [ ] Real-time notifications via WebSockets
- [ ] Notification sound alerts
- [ ] Mobile app notifications
