How to change the information that is notified to players

How do you notify players of a card played but remove the information after the trick is over? Something like how jaipur allows you to see the most recent trade that has happened, but a new trade will override the information.
Is it possible to have both temporary information and permanent information? I would like some messages to be permanent, but some messages to be temporary.

You cannot remove notifications since they are needed for replay.
My guess is that it's simply hiding old logs by using css and js

I was thinking about this problem a while ago as well. One of my favorite card games, which I'd love to implement here, also depends on remembering cards that got played. So I couldn't display that information in the logs.
I guess what would be a solution is to come up with a seperate custom log, for example next to the player tables, where only the most recent information is displayed. In my game for example, I could display the last move of each player, so that also round based games are possible.

Hiding old logs seems easier. You can easily add a column to the globalog table to put some notifications as "hidden", and then overwrite the notifications listener on js to not display those.
If you need help on that, I already have similar code for "cancelling" notifs in case of a restart of a turn.

Not sure if this helps bug when you send notification you don't have to log anything, i.e. can log can be '' (empty string)

I would also need to come up with a solution to ignore the replay function. Hiding notifications won't help if you just replay the last two moves to see what happened
Well, if I should ever work on that game I can start thinking about it.

But how can the user replay if you hide the log on the right ?
