Activity Stream Refresh Code
 

I'm working on customizing the layout of my activity feed and I wiped pretty much all but {vb:raw activitybits} from the home template. This has definitely stopped the autorefresh from working. I can't figure out which part of the file refreshes. It seems like it loads them into a newactivity area, but I'd really just rather them pour right out into the activitybits as the ones before it.

Thanks for your help.

is the original code


is what I've done to it.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want, but I guess the javascript in vbulletin_activitystream.js handles that. I don't have time to look in to it, but I suppose it looks for html tags with a certain id or class.

Sorry about that. I will try to clarify a bit.

Vbulletin 4's Activity Page has a live update feature for people active on the activity streams page. It pulls in information about posts and threads every x minutes (as defined in options).

I seem to have deleted the portion of the template (something like vb_activitystream_home) that allows these live updates to happen. But I cannot figure out which portion of this template does that. I just know that it does not work any longer after the changes I have made.

I am very very gracious for your help. I have not removed the hook to the js that runs which is why this leaves me very puzzled.

I am editing this template because I want to change the layout of how activity is displayed on this page. By default new activity is stored in separate divs and clicks are required to display new content. I just want the activity to constantly stream to the page and be displayed as everything else is.

I will do some more picking around. thank you again very very much.
