Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Forum Live Feed & User Wall v1 (vB4) [AJAX]

Forum Live Feed & User Wall lets you see a continuously updated feed of activities on the forum, with a powerful set of customisation options for sources of information.

Uses
If you've wished for a Facebook-like feed for your forum, this mod is for you.

This mod adds 2 distinct features to your site. First a live feed showing actions performed by everyone on the forum, from new threads and posts to things like new avatars or signatures, your members can customise their feed and keep up to date with everything that's going on, right as it happens.
Secondly every user also has their own wall that displays what they have been up to. This lets users see what their friends have been doing and join in!
With advanced privacy configuration options and configurable preview options for each content type, this mod compliments other modifications like InfoPanels and produces a more detailed and verbose feed of the happenings on the forum.

There's currently no content type for Album Pictures.

It does show BBCode, all the BBCode that are allowed in "Non-Forum Areas" as per the BBCode settings.

Smilies are also supported

That being said, due to the fact that each content type comes with a "Preview Cut-off" setting, some BBCode may become invalidated and not parse correctly.

Example: Let's say you have a quote tag that contains more than 300 characters. When it cuts off the message, the closing [/quote] will get removed and the start tag will be left in place.

Hopefully that makes sense

You can compare the feature lists and screenshots to find out what's different - personally I'm not so good at selling things. That's more my partner Iain's thing.

I'll link him to your query and he'll answer as soon as he's able

From quick look at it, with DBTech mod you could set numerous options feed/privacy wise. You can decide which feeds you want to see and to whom you want to enable to see your feeds.

In pro version you also get whole comment system, where people could comment anything in feeds.

Coding wise, DBTech has produced good code so far. I'm not telling that this other coder produces bad code, I'm just telling that in my experience DBTech produced good code so far and I believe they will continue so.

On the other hand, only sure thing is that you try both mods on your testing site and see which one you like more.

Hey,

nice work. I install the lite edition but i have some requests.
1. Statusupdate from forumhome. I put the textarea in the block template and it works fine without the maxlength.
2. A little preview at the block would be nice.

Is that possilbe?

Installed, hope everything is fine.

Now setting and checking, how it works, will post details here.

That mod seems to be a basic feed of some forum info.

Our mod is a full live facebook style wall, with user customisable content, content previews, privacy permissions for who does and doesn't see posts about you, a commenting system (in pro), as well as a full user-wall system where each user has their own wall filled with events relating only to them - again just like on facebook.

Hope that clears up the difference ^.^

Thanx in advance.

An error message is more useful than a site URL
