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.

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?

Could you re-post these over at our forum as feature suggestion threads? That ensures they won't get lost in the mists of time as we plan new versions

Any chance of getting a content type added for photopost vbgallery and vba dynamics?

I would gladly buy the pro version for those features alone.

[pete_brady]

and a content type for your Advanced Post Thanks / Like mod would be nice...

[DragonByte Tech]

We will definitely add APTL content types, that's on the todo list

Hey, nice product - I can't find where it says the "Can Administer Forum Live Feed & User Wall" administrator permission
under usergroups?

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 ^.^

I do not see these other functions like a user wall, where is this?

Very nice, you guys always make nice stuff. Made a forum block with it as well.
Look forward to enhancements.
Thanks!
