Sidebar: Activity Stream Block

If you installed this mod, please "Mark as Installed".

Description:
Shows the latest activity in your forum home!

Compatibility:
Compatible only with 4.2.X and newer.

Installations:
you don't have to change anything in the templates/files,
just upload the plugin and that's all.

- Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

Enjoy.

The mod removed since there are some problems of stability that need to be fixed and I don't have time to fix them. For who need this kind of feature, just wait for 4.2.1 that will have it build-in.

Awesome, thanks for this! Makes me wonder why this wasn't build in the core of vB 4.2

This is a great idea! Although, when I tried to upload it to vB 4.2, I get a database error and it won't upload! :( Is this happening to anyone else?

Hi, In your picture I see all kind of activities. I installed it and only blog activities display for me.

Can you make phots and attachments from the activity stream appear in sidebar as well?

Thanks for this Mod. Really nice to have the activity stream in the sidebar.
However it seems the stream in the sidebar doesn't get updated automatically when somebody posts something like the Stream page itself does.
Updates only occur when I go into another page or refresh the page.

Send me the error.
Currently vbulletin doesn't contain the option save forum blocks in xml files, so I improvised and create the block with sql.

Maybe at the time you've checked all the latest activities were related to blogs.

You mean show its images?
I removed (kind of, it just hidden by css) the images to save space, and make it more compact.

Weird, it should accept display order #0.
I checked the plugin serval times and the display order never caused to problem.
I'll look into it later.

Wow!! One big error when you edit the block in the blockmanager!

05-26-2012 12:58 PM

Please add:
- auto updating function. Without a flow of new content its not a stream, but a list.
- make the listing much more compact to allow more entries.

1. I will add ajax in the next version
2. Its the most compact style I was able to get without remove important information.

Please make the preview appear on hover. This reduces 1-2 lines per entry.

'See more' is superfluous, as there already is a link to the content.

Reflect replied to the thread sup in main forum
The word sup can be linked to Reflect his post. Then there is no need for a 'See more'

This reduces 2 lines per entry.

If you color the timedate in grey font (like done in vb3 with .time) place it after the event, then that saves another line.

So with the above changes Each entry has 4-5 lines less and consist out of 2 lines, instead of 6-7. This allows the activity stream to show almost 3 times as many entries in the same space.

And in the main activity page (activity.php) you do see new threads and new replies?
Maybe you disabled it in the admincp under the activity stream options.

Lionel

05-27-2012 08:03 AM

no, not all. They all display in the main activity and in profile

I do have a lot of private threads, but they display to me in main activity and to thread starter

That just weird.
I'll check it but I'm not sure why you can't see other activities except blog.

Anyway, today I will release an update to improve the installation.
It might fix your problem.

What's new? section shows new forum posts-threads, but activity stream sideblock shows the blog's activity only.

I understand that you are not developing this anymore; however I got a major error which is affecting my forum since installing this mod.

Quote:

Here is a breakdown.

1) The website loads all other tabs (activity etc) and I can even access threads if I know their link, but the actual forum.php (our forum homepage) won't load.
Link: http://www.subeta-unique.com/forums/forum.php
I get the error "Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.subeta-unique.com/forums/forum.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:

Reload this webpage later.

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request."

2) I disabled all current plugins with the config file and that did not fix anything so I reenabled them.
3) I am not getting any errors sent to my email and I created an error file (not sure if I did it 100% correct...) but nothing was being added to the log there either.
4) I ran the 'upgrade' script and replaced all the files but the problem is still persisting.

I even replaced my forum.php with a fresh one from vbulletin but nothing changed. Not sure what to do!

Vbulletin suggested I ask you about this.

EDIT:

An update

Quote:

An update in case anyone else ends up with this issue and googles this thread.

After a lot of messing around and trying things - I disabled my forum blocks in the admin CP and now my page is up again.

Stinks that I have to disable it, but hey at least it's working :)
