Cannot confirm that. Did you cleared already the cache to check if it's a cache issue?

[BlueCheri]

Sorry, no idea about widget.

Shall create it and how?

[Phalynx]

Please read the instructions as stated above in "How to install this?".

I had some other people try it and they all got the same results. I don't think it's a cache thing.

I'm running this on four boards without problems.

Let's try to isolate it...
Please specify your PHP, MySQL, vBulletin versions.

What exactly are you typing into the PHP field for the widget?

Just installed! Here (http://www.sheersoftware.com/content.php). Just wondering will it work in forums? And how safe is it? I know this is PHP and anything is possible some can easily create a mod which creates users on the forum and make advertising posts etc. Is that possible right?

It's not that easy. First of all, the source code is completly visible. All files are text files which can be checked with notepad. Second, there are a few users using it already. If it were a trojan or something similar other users would report it. Third, take a look at my installcount for other modifications, my postcount, my registration date - my whole reputation here. This makes sure I'm not a bad boy spreading trojans.

At first I uploaded it in the default way, but just now I went back and reuploaded all as text, and it still doesn't work.

[Phalynx]

I'm out of ideas, sorry.

[furst]

I'm out of ideas, sorry.
Could it somehow be a permissions issue? I've had blank white pages be the result of some faulty permissions in the past.

[Phalynx]

I'm not using permissions in this mod.

Is there anyway to limit it to showing only 5 or 10

first i had a blank page too.
if a change the path from './cwnw/cwnw.php' to the full server path works it.

I will release 2.0.1 this week. It features vBExperience Awards, CMS Articles and last but not least Project Tools Issues.

Yes, check settings.

Ha didnt think there was any with it been a widget
Thanks mate :)

I'm talking about chmod permissions. Sorry, I should have made that clear.

Any new ideas? I'd really like to get this working. I'm particularly interested in the latest album comments.

[Bigj85]

Just installed,great widget :)
I was wondering is there any chance of you making a forum welcome panel or profile side block with the same type of funcionality and some of the viewing users info like avatar,post count,thread count,latest achievements, etc.
this is really great as a way of showing the whole sites activities but something similar for the forum that just shows activities and achievements related to the logged in user would be great I think.

anyway thanks for the great widget,installed and rated

A welcome panel could be done easily, it's mainly a template thing. I will consider this.

Just tried changing it to http://www.domain.com/cwnw/cwnw.php and it still did not work. I'll try messing with some of the chmod settings when I get a little more time later this week.

I'm having the same issue, no results. I tried a full path as well, screenshots attached. Could be not compatible with 4.0.6?

I'm using it on vBulletin 4.0.6

Hmmm... do you see anything in my setup that is wrong? It seems really straightforward.

[Phalynx]

I don't see anything that is against it. Even if I uninstall the product xml I don't get a blank page.

Please check your PHP errorlogs if there is something related.

Thanks in advance

[Bigj85]

same problem as the user above,everything else is great though,especially itrader support as we use that as the rep system for my forum.

loving the widget though

[janaf]

Dumb question but where do I upload the files? To what directory?

[Neptun]

is there a possibility to show also a picture of the cms articel ? that would be great

To the root. The directory cwnw should be in the same level like "includes".

Uploaded to the first post.

[Storyteller69]

Fixed. Please download ZIP and import product XML.Works fine now. :)

Many thanks.
Storyteller

[janaf]

Works great once I fund where to put the files :)

The only thing I miss; when clicking on a forum title it would be great if the link was to that actual post, not the first post in the thread.

A thought; does the script care about what the current user has rights to see? If I have restricted forums (logged-on members only) will postings show in the widget to non-logged on persons?

I really can not get into my head why there is no "show all" widget like this one included in vB4!

Many thanks for this widget!

[kho91]

thank you

it would be good if you can also add download II and Media librairy

[Xencored]

I tested this on the forum sidebar works great but only one problem the avatars are big very big :D

Yes, the streams are checking for permissions, they are even obeying the ignore list.


thank you

Downloads II is already beeing done, for Media Library I'm not sure as I'm not using it. I would require a forum where I can grab some data.

Thanks man some of them are still big tho (the default one)
also is there a way to get them Next to the info like the vbulletin ones do?

[Phalynx]

I'm not really sure if the currently used layout will be the final one. I'm still searching a way to show where an entry comes from. Maybe I will replace the avatar with the icon used by the stream.

Edit or a way to turn them off. even if it means // :D

[The Coon]

This will become an essential addon, thanks!
Suggestion:

I think, it would be better, if one thread is displayed only once (like in the original "What's new?"). Look at your own example.

121017

In case of a "hot" discussion in the forum, it perhaps destroys a simple overview, that I would appreciate more.

That's not a thread, these are replies to a thread.

[The Coon]

Yes, of course ... ;) But imagine, there is a thread with 15 replies, e.g.

They all would be displayed in the overview. Does that make sense?
As I said: Only a suggestion!

This should not happen. The balancer takes from every stream at least one entry before it takes the same stream again. Having the same thread multiple times in the widget means that there is no other activity in the timeframe. That happens with my demoforum as I did the screenshot.

I will think about an implementation to this.

Rated 5* and voted MOTM even if it is still slightly crude in intstallation and administration for us newbies. But functionality and value for my site is no doubt 5+ !

Now if not asking too much: Linking to the actual / latest post in a forum thread instead of the first posting in the thread? Feasable?

Yes, I will integrate this in next version.

This is an exellent replacement for the What's new feature in VB; and this is exactly what I am going to use it for!! thanks mate! Now to figure out how to get this on a single page!

[bferrell]

Any chance you could add an option to sort the results by type (article, forum, etc.)?

[Lqd]

I definitly second that idea!

[Lqd]

I've had no luck setting this up as a single page, so a page dedicated to this widget, any suggestions how to put this in standalone mode? :)

[caciocode]

What will completely make this mode even more amazing is the ability to reply to threads/posts, maybe a small button which opens a small pop up for the member to post a quick reply, without having to click on the link

That will be amazing! I will love you if you could add that.

[cad2go]

If it was like dp's vbspy and updated itself every x minutes where x is the cache setting it would even better.

Another top class release Phalynx ty!

[Taurus1]

This is awesome! Thank you.

Is it possible to include support for Dragonbyte Tech's achievement and award streams?

Thanks!

[cad2go]

How about putting this on but as a php page rather than just a widget? I don't care about the preview just want an activity page.

This is actually what "What's New" was supposed to return imo.

[hamedbia2]

thanks it works but how can i make it to show just 10 threads in cms

[The Coon]

Thank you! :cool:

[Steve_GB]

Thank you - this is great.

Installed and working well straight away.

All the links it produces seem great apart from the ones from the avatars. On my 4.7 system they link to member.php which is fine.. but then followed by the name of the area the widget is displayed in. So they are like this: http://www.website.com/vbulletin/member.php/29-testpage

As I say, all the other links to members are fine and use the correct member info... so a small code change looks to be all that is needed.

One request to make the system really useful on our site would be for us to be able to turn things on and off in the control panel configuration. So we could turn on only the streams we want checked.

Also a 'take out' or 'include' control that perhaps uses forum numbers so we could take out forums we want excluded. For instance, at present it is displaying a lot of forums where we get the content via RSS, and masses of those entries in the lists it creates stops it being really possible for us to use it live.

This is a great idea, and thanks again for developing it.

Just a small thing to report. Smilies are not being displayed in the teaser text from forum messages. You get the code to call them shown, like :laugh99: or whatever.

[LichtMann]

Hi Phalynx

Before, thank you for your greats mods. Are really useful.

Right now I am using Xperience and also this widget for the activity.

But with the widget I am having some problems with the time.

When I have activated the widget on the home page, it takes 13 seconds more to load!

So I wonder if there is any way in that the data can be store in the cache, instead of making the sql queries each time the page is loaded.

Or what du u think could be the source of this lack of time.

LG

[Phalynx]

CWNW is using the caching mechanism of the vBCMS. Please check if you have a cache time of 0 (=no caching).

I know u think that I gotta be kidding, but i didn't found where to set this option, do u know?

Btw, LG von Dortmund :)

Go the the Widget and Configure it. There you have "Cache refresh time (minutes)"

Go to vBulletin CMS in the AdminCP, Widgets, Search for the CWNW Widget and click "Configure" on the right side.

btw.. can we excluded forum ID's from showing.
We have a few forums that I'd rather not show in the latest post widget.

Exclude forums is currently not implemented.

My bad. All correct and working perfectly.

I know this has been asked before but in addition to the restriction of certain forums is it also able to disable posts on peoples profiles?

[Phalynx]

You mean visitor messages? Just delete the file visitormessage.php in /cwnw/streams/ to disable them.

I'm not sure if disabling of certain forum will be implemented, as I'm doing a new modification called Social Activity Stream. It will have the CWNW on every profile, listing activitities for the user and his friends.

[tocheli]

hi phalynx
looks great!
but i have a problem.
my discussion board has different forums.
in the whdget, (forum) stream items has no information on witch forum the last entry was added.
i have sub forums, som subforums have same name as other sub forums of other parent forums.
my idee is to add also the whole "tree" in each stream item. same "tree" as you can find below the navbar.
see my screenshot.
has anybody an idea how to implement that?

[yahooooh]

hello i make suggestions foractivity streams in user profile here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2148516&postcount=49

but the part for this product is:
3. vba modules for activity streams for user friends
this will contain all activities of his friends only and for last xx time and will support ajax
and also will respect friends permissions if they remove one type of streas or one of them want to stop all his streams also option to shownot only friends but also all site streams from every one that his setting not preventing the streams show

4. the same as vba module but as php file , for example: streams.php with ability to make it as streams for all the site and with option for user to just for friends and also it will respect permissions of the users if they want to not show thier activities except for thier friends or for no one

[Joey Link]

How do I choose which streams are displayed? How can I disable the preview?

Hey Marius

VBSEO rewriting for the articles is not working.
Anyone knows a fix for this?

[mitch84]

hi, how add system pagination? (multi pages) thx

[Popa Andrei]

Test on 4.1.2 and works great.
Thanks for the great widget :D

[Gholsie]

Excellent addition! Clicked install.
One question, is it possible to get this to show the latest thread as opposed to the latest post? If I have 5 posts a day in the same thread, I only want to see that thread showing up on the page. Instead now, I can see 5 different posts on this page and it's getting very long.

Same with photos, if someone posts to their gallery, is it possible to get the system to only show the first photo?

[goycarden]

It is possible to go to the last post and not to the beginning of a thread?

Hi Phalynx,
I installed the product the I the created widget doesn't appear on my Home page.
What I can check and where ?
I already changed the path as other users told :
require_once('./cwnw/cwnw.php');
replaced by
require_once('/home/web/mysite.com/www/cwnw/cwnw.php');
but nothing changed.

normally you do not have to change the path if you upload the file to the root.

I put the folder cwnw in www and the file cwnw.php inside it.
So server path of the file is /home/web/mysite.com/www/cwnw/cwnw.php

I put again few minutes ago the command require_once('./cwnw/cwnw.php');
and I still have the same isse :(

[mnms]

Finally It works. my issue was that I tried to personalize the Template name. So I put the one indicated by Phalynx.
Thanks.

Hey Phalynx,

How do we prevent the activity stream from actually evaluating YouTube links and showing them as embedded videos?

See the attachment screenshot.

The user simply posted a link to a youtube video, and in the thread it's showing as a link only, but in the activity stream it tries to show as an embedded video with a player box thingy thing.

Thanks!

[doctorsexy]

Thank you...

any ideas

Just discovered this the other day. I love it! It does almost everything I want, except show when an album is created. Is there any way to implement that? I would probably turn off the pictures themselves and the picture comments if I had a way to show that a new album was created and link to it. Would this be an easy thing to do? Maybe involve the creation of a new php file to handle retrieving the album info?

[Phalynx]

You can create a php file and include that in the stream.

[tagman]

Thanks Phalynx. I wouldn't know what to put in the php file though...

[tagman]

So I looked at some of the php files included with the cwnw to try to figure out how to create one for the album function. Each one of those files is very different. Is one of them better suited than another to act as a template for me to start with?

[Phalynx]

Mainly they differ in the way they are querying the database. The structure should retain the same. Try with the PHP that is handling album pictures.

[tagman]

Still messing with this. I really just want the widget to show...

Album:
Name of album.

I don't want anything fancy or for it to even show pictures, unless it only shows the album cover.

I've been screwing around with this all night. Using the picture.php as an example, I have only been successful in changing "username uploaded new picture" to "username created new album". I think I am going the wrong way with this since I don't really care at this point who creates the album, just what the name of the new album is and that one has been created.

Any more advice you can give?

[Phalynx]

You need to pull the username of the user which created the album. How does your SQL Query look like?

Did you also created a new template for your purpose?

Hi,

Great mod!

I would like to add time to the date in function PrepareDateline($dateline) but I'm not sure how.
Something like "Today 06:49" instead of just "Today". Like in the header of a post.

How would I go about doing this?

[Scitz0]

nvm, changed from:
return vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, true)
to
return vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, true)." ".vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline);
in cwnw.php

[Phalynx]

Normally it takes the setting from your setting, so it has the same look and feel like your postings.

[angeljs]

Is it possible for this to show attachments with the posts? :)

[toxin]

Looks good - except the avatars link to /member.php instead of /member.php?<userid> and so return an invalid member error when you lick on them.

Any idea of how I can fix this?

[Phalynx]

I can confirm that. A fix has been released (v2.0.3)

Also, this modification is compatible with 4.1.7

[RollaJedi]

hey P-meister, any way at all to get one of those little blue arrows at the end to click that will go to the first new post in that thread? Just like on the 'whats new?' tab in the navbar

[Phalynx]

Already in, you will just click on "Thread:" to jump to the newest.

[misericorde]

Hy

Thank you

Good work. Nice !!!

Installed for vb 4.1.7

[toxin]

There's a bug in the widget permissions.

If a member creates a private gallery (the contents of which are only viewable to his own contacts and moderators) and uploads photos to it, the widget displays the photo info such as:

> Tester uploaded new photo: Picture 2

This is displayed to all members, however non-contact members can't see the thumbnail.

[KristerSwe]

Thank you, love this really.

Had like to have this to the stream

Working in 4.1.9?

Working in 4.1.9?
work on vb4.1.10 too

[lazytown]

The "items" option seems to do nothing.. I've tested it dozens of times (yes I cleared the cache).. Whether I set it to 1 ,5 10, etc it always pulls multiple items from some categories like profile changes/etc. Can someone explain if I am understanding this option correctly?
