Hi Fillip,

testing this and must say I like it very much.

I think the ability for the user to delete their status's is a must and displaying comments under/at bottom of post in thread would be great.

:)

Also a fix for resizing images on wall

add to additional.css or dbtech_livewall.css

If a user uploads a picture or video, how does the feed react to it?

It doesn't react at all, as there's no integration with the attachment system at the moment :)


Fillip

Is this a planned addition down the road?

It's not currently on the todo list, but that can always change :)


Fillip

mod/admin editable status's and comments needed with this for sure. When i think about it, comments posted via wall not really needed to be posted to posts in thread, its pretty good as is. Attachments on wall, that would be good.

Demo pics look nothing like lite version, what are they from the pro version?

Not impressed with mod, what good is it to post a status update when you cant post a comment to it in the lite version.

Lite version looks nothing more than a chat board... looks like we are going to have to uninstall this one unless there are some decent updates coming forth in the next release.

Nothing in the feed for when people add or remove a friend?

These guys are smart and are great developers.
Status will be worked on :)
I would like to see an option for it to works with the forums.
Posts in thread from Live Feed

Giving the user the options of the forum view or the Live Feed view by clicking the navbar!
Somewhere down the road maybe an option to turn of forum and just view the live feed.
Now we are talking dynamite :) ...with additional ongoing additional pages :p
Maybe a Pro feature.

Edit: Whoops did I say that...:p

I think vb still has issues (hooks) with friend.
but that would be cool :)

The screenshots are indeed from the Pro version, only difference is the comments though :)

That's because vBulletin does not currently store when a "relation" (i.e. contact or friend) was formed, so there's no way for me to tell if the friendship was new or old.


Fillip

It still posts to the wall (and more importantly to your User Wall), letting people keep up to date with your status.

Not sure I follow you here... chat board? The lite version can't be used as a chat board...

I think you may have completely misunderstood the mod to be honest. The point of it is to provided a "Live Feed" of what's going on in the forum/with users. It lets users keep up with recent posts/actions in real time. If that's not what you're looking for this isn't the mod for you =)

Iain

You are out of your mind.

This is one of the best "Facebook Wall" plug-ins to date. I will be upgrading soon to the Pro version for the commenting as well. You can't blame them for not wanting to give the cow for free here...

If I could have only one feature added to this, it would be that the "Users Wall" would be a tab located in the User Profile section. This would encourage more people to use their pages just like in Facebook... please please please! Make it so!

There is nothing wrong with the state of my mind. <Removed> Keep your personal comments to yourself and focus on commenting on the mod only.

Entries per page

This setting controls how many wall entries are shown before a "Load More" link is displayed.

How does this work? I dont see it on my install or on the feed @ dragonbyte tech

Whoops, that was intended for a feature that wasn't able to be included for technical reasons. I will get the wording changed in the next version :)


Fillip

That's high on the to-do list =) Cheers for the kind words.

Iain

I added a link in member action dropdown to view user's wall. something you might want to look at Fillip :)

edit: also added link on profile page.

Good idea, I'll see if this can make it in the next version :)


Fillip

Pretty sure I was commenting on the mod, but whatever.. if you don't like the mod then you have no reason to further comment in this thread.. k thanks bye...

Anyways, is there any information on when the next version of this mod should come out?

Great mod - thanks! Installed!

There should be a new version on friday if all goes to plan.

Iain

Looking forward to the update.

Ive made some cosmetic changes to suit my forum (wall in tables) :)

Will the next update bring this out of beta? I see no problems with it.

There seems to be a inconsistent issue parsing bbcode, anyone else have this problem?

Yes, because of the limited characters and not seeing the... / closing bbcode tags.

You can adjust preview character length in admincp. Keep increasing the count until you find some sort of balance between a preview and displaying a full post.. up it a little, mines set at 300.. works good

I already posted this @ dbtech but I wanted to share this with the other users @ vb.org since probably some of you guys don't visit their site.

With Live Wall

Basically what I am saying by that is that there is at least 4 seconds page render time difference.
It's pretty bad, really bad for me.

This is an excellent plugin, hopefully there will be some improvements done.

Here is what I put in the settings:


Entries Per Page 10 (def 20)
Refresh Rate 60 (def 30)

Time Between Status Updates 15 (def 5)

Yes, I know :) thanks
I was only responding to answer the question.
Now, 300 may be a work around. If users are posting 300 or less.

I went looking and found this. :up:

The big question is will you create this for the loyal 3.8 series users?
I think I speak on behalf of most if not all 3.8 series users to say that we would really appreciate it.



Hit the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/4.gif to the left if you would appreciate this for use in the 3.8 series.

We may create a vB 3.8 version, but there are currently no plans to do so :)


Fillip

I see difference only on first page load, not repeated.

Anyway, yes, optimizations if possible are always welcome.

Fillip & Iain

I'd like to see an option for the Entries per page (Forum Live Feed)

eg. show Last

1 hour
3 hours
6 hours
12 hours
24 hours

or similar.. :)

and possibly simlilar option for User Wall

eg. show Last

1 week
2 weeks
1 month


else pagination up to a set limit


or similar :D

That's sadly not feasible for technical reasons :(
It would create a lot of server load to check the date stamp instead of just fetching the x latest entries.


Fillip

Since this was cross-posted here and on our forum, I'll share the results here:

Depending on the size of your forum database, having the sidebar enabled can add load time such as the numbers reported here.

Disabling the forum sidebar block for LW returned the load times to normal, so it is 100% safe to leave the mod enabled even if you don't want to take the performance hit the sidebar presents :)


Fillip

^ confirmed.
That's 100% accurate. :)

@Dragonbyte,Is there any way we can alter this so that Nothing but the Status updates get added to the Wall???
Would be great for us then for our needs on site

Convert this to 3.8.x
Please please please

Yes, disable all other content types :)


Fillip

Would we need all members to do that Fillip or Is there a global way to do so sir?

Do it in the Content Type Manager in the AdminCP.
