Very nice mod!

[BlessedFWI]

Awesome mod! Thank you so much!

I have one question. How can I change the avatar size to match the avatars in the activity stream sideblock in my forums? The avatars in the CMS widget are smaller than the forum sideblock one.

Thanks in advance!

Open actstream_widget.css Template

Find

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

Change 30 to 60

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly!

Voted for MOTM! :D

I have a question. Would it be possible to be able to add the attachment image instead of the avatar.

yes offcourse it is possible but needs manual editing of few vB Default files.

Is it possible to change the amount of items shown on first view from 5 to 10?

Scrub that I found the option in the adminCP. You should add a screen shot or something about that option in the text at the top. :)

This is almost exactly what I was looking for but I want to filter it just for Group updates. I'm starting to play with it now. Thanks for this, I think :D

[mmacrypt]

I have it installed, is there a way for me to have the widget part only show the activity of certain areas. It looks like it's default to match Activity Stream of the site and I don't want to limit that to Groups only but I would like this widget to do just that.

Thoughts???

Thank you

how would I change the background color?

Hello
I have tested it but just the avatar and date are diplayed.

I am using with vbeseo.

How do I fix this problem?

Thanks

[lovevn]

It works now. Thank you.

Open actstream_widget.css Template

Find

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

Change 30 to 60

hmm my avatars in the widget seem to be ignoring this width value. Save and Reload and a F5 on the page, and they don't change, I'm trying to shrink them. and actually went from 60px to 30px or atleast I'm trying

And actually seem to be ignoring that width all together and instead pulling the max width from .vbcms_content img max-width O_o

The widget is showing posts from the moderators forums which only mods and admins should see.

You've confirmed that this is for users that don't have permissions to view such things? This widget shows different content depending on whether I'm logged in or not, as one would expect it to based upon permissions.

I just want to make sure you're not jumping to conclusions, but if you're right that's no bueno

I haven't installed it on my board yet. I always read comments before I do. I'll go ahead and do the install and check all permissions and then get back to you on this.

Edit: Checked the before mentioned problem is not true. As long as permissions are set correctly you do not see hidden content from hidden forums unless you have the permission to view those forums!

Great Widget!!

Doesn't show widget after installation...

Doesn't show widget after installation...

You have to go into AdminCP >> vBulletin CMS >> Layout Manager

Set the widgets you want to show on the page.

if avatar is clickable this would be perfect

and possibly (if avatar clickable) to remove nick just right from avatar and on mouse over avatar to see a nick...just an idea...think saving space and giving info more clearly

thank you for this GREAT modification

ps
also, shown on first view from 5 to desired
installed, nominated, rated

EDITED:

is it possible to cancel activity only for CMS comments, but only for this widget not overall in VBulletin options?

[goxy63]

Must say this is pointless unless we have some options here for a widget

For example, if this widget is placed on main CMS page together with default "latest posts" widget its not good as on two places we have same activity shown...
Also if default widget "latest forum posts" is removed and we use only this one...than its again not good as this one has only title and member name there is no few words from a post presented in order that guest or member can get interested and check it out...

This is great, but need few changes as mentioned, please give is some options here, or if anyone edited this please share with us

Thank you

Mod has great potential, but no matter what I set preview snippet characters to, I still don't get a snippet. Anyone experienced this problem or know of a solution or where to at least start looking for the problem?

I also tried out the similar mod, Central What's New Widget, and I do get a preview snippet on it, so I think it's a problem with this mod and not a deeper issue.

It works now. Thank you.

What was the fix??? I am seeing the same issue.

Still no ideas? I'm 4.2.2, the standard vBulletin menu activity stream is working fine, and I've tried this mod with all other mods disabled. The strangest thing is when I have this widget on, I can look at the page source code and see the except text that should be displaying, but it doesn't appear on the actual page.

I've run out of ideas, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
