have you tested this mod on your demo forum with no new blog entry?
if yes, then obviously it won't display as cutoff time is 180 Days (set in admincp)

Ran into a problem, it wont display for some reason. I am using the Everywhere sidebar mod, do you think that is it?

It shows up like the other blocks in the admincp, just not on the forumhome.

Thanks again,

Open actstream_sideblock.css template

Replace
font-size:{vb:stylevar activitystreamcontent_font.fontSize}{vb:stylevar activitystreamcontent_font.units};

With
font-size: 11px; /* Adjust it as per your forum */

Excellent. Thanks so much.

Open actsream_sideblock.css Template

Find:
li.activitybit .avatar {
float:{vb:stylevar left};
padding-{vb:stylevar right}:{vb:stylevar padding};
width: 30px;
}

Replace it With:
li.activitybit .avatar {
float:{vb:stylevar left};
padding-{vb:stylevar right}:{vb:stylevar padding};
width: 30px;
display: none;
}

Find:
li.activitybit .content.hasavatar {
margin-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:math 60 + {vb:stylevar padding}};
}

Replace it With:
li.activitybit .content.hasavatar {
margin-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:stylevar padding};
}

Ya if you are using everywhere sidebar mod then it won't display.
I quickly gone through everywhere sidebar code and found a way for this problem.

Open Plugin "sidebar_global"

Find: (3 times)
$fullblockid = str_replace('sgdiscussions', 'sgnewdiscussions', $fullblockid);

Add After it:
$cccache = unserialize($block['configcache']);
if (strpos($cccache['html_template'], 'block_activitystream') !== false)
{
$fullblockid = 'block_activity';
}

Haha, my bad. Sorry. I didn't think the plugin would actually add a new sideblock as well so I never noticed this. I wonder if the avatar can be different like avatar icons. I've decreased the size of the avatars within the css code, but it doesn't go smaller beyond a certain size.

Hot to resize the avatar width in side block automatically, i mean where(templete) i can set default avatar width for this?

Open actstream_sideblock.css Template

Add At Bottom:

li.activitybit .avatar img {
width: 30px;
}

To Move Texts to left side:

Find:
li.activitybit .content.hasavatar {
margin-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:math 60 + {vb:stylevar padding}};
}

Replace 60 with 30

as i said earlier in (poll in sideblock) thread that "Forum Sideblock" coding for your skin is sightly different from vB Default.

You will need to edit "block_activitystream" template to make it match with other sideblocks.

Please help me out as I cannot figure it out, not to mention your mod is causing all other blocks to disappear when enabled.

try increasing sideblock size (10-20 px more) so that filter dropdown can come next to collapse button.

Isn't the filter drop down supposed to be left aligned?

its supposed to be left of collapse button not below it. (see the pic which u posted in this thread)
anyway if you are ok with position, so its fine then.

Great add-on. Is it possible to make a Streaming Activity Monitor, so that way it could stream 15 events but it would slowly scroll through them so you could keep it the same size but see new things.

Rik Brown

08-25-2012, 08:13 PM

I see in the description for this mod an image showing "reviews_listings." We would love to integrate the activity from our review system using jReviews for Joomla into the vBulletin activity stream. Just wondering if the mod author is doing that or something similar?

Thanks -- Rik

PS: Is it possible to change the colour of the 'Filter' text on the side block column? Mine needs to be white to contrast with my skin. Thanks.

I've installed and uploaded the files, but nothing seems to be changed. I have the option in the admincp ->activity stream section though...

The main forum page is just like it was before, without any sideblock whatsoever. :( how can I fix this ?? :)

[UPDATE]
I've noticed that the option to turn on sideblocks was....OFF..Hehe..

It works and it works good! Nice addon, I'm surely gonna vote for this one ;)

SoloX

09-16-2012, 02:44 PM

works like a charm. What would be really nice is if the activity filter remains the same when browsing through the forum. as of now, it resets to default with any click.

I am using Sidebar Anywhere by BOP5. When this block is active, i get an error message on the edit pages if I want to leave the page or not. I disable this block and i dont get that error message. This happens when i click on submit or save button. I get the error but if i choose to ignore and say "leave page", my message is posted/updated.
