Any plans on fixing the activity stream bug?

Also how do I remove the entry from the activity stream so its not broken? I've disabled the mod but the stream is still broken.

This is the first time hearing about it where it wasn't cleared up with a reinstall... One site is hard to identify or isolate (i.e. there are endless possible conflicts) but for several, absolutely, bugs are no good :eek:

The attached version of PRF removes the activity stream section without impacting any other functions.

For those who were having issues with the system, please give it a try and we will proceed from there developing further fixes to bring that back.

I'm not the only person who has a problem with this mod breaking the activity stream, there are a few others in this thread. So it's definitely not just one site.

I'll try reinstalling the mod again like you suggested. If that doesn't work I'll use the version you provided that doesn't use the activity stream.

Also, there isn't really a need for the updated xml you provided because so long as the mod doesn't insert anything into the activity feed it's fine. And you already have an option in the current mod to turn that off. I tested it just now the activity feed works fine so long as the mod doesn't create entries for it. specifically, replies/review entries in the activity stream from the product forum dont break it, just the 'new thread' entries. It's the new thread entries in the activity feed that cause it to break, not replies or reviews.

We've had a few mentions but as far as I can tell, all resolved (from a reinstall , option changes, or the person moved on and thus we couldn't track it down). Now that there are two of you reporting a problem actively, we can call it a bug.

The activity stream is not really designed to be bolted on top of, at least not in a graceful way, which means errors become significant impacting more than just the mod.

Sites using older vB versions are prone to these sorts of collisions and not something we can stop but if there's a problem impacting new installs, we consider it reason to remove the feature and revisit it, if there's even demand to do so.

Assuming everything else works right for you and the other site reporting this in the activity-stream free version we'll change our standard download and take it from there.

Thanks for the report & follow up!

Also (sorry for so many replies lol), how do I choose which fields are and aren't required? I know you mentioned I can edit the templates but what if I want to remove some required fields or add new ones, how do I do that?

You can add new fields for reviews through the ACP (there's a manger tool under the PRF group).

Other fields would require hacking the hack (templates to capture the data, table fields to hold it, queries to show it) although we'd be glad to add a few more hook locations if you want to make it more modular.

Just for my information, how could I clear the system stuff?
Because I tried to uninstall another mod and I faced the same problem. I don't want to run (upgrade.php) everytime when I remove a mod.

Sorry to ask here.
