Cannot confirm that. Please check if you enter the correct php code to the widget.

My bad. All correct and working perfectly.

I know this has been asked before but in addition to the restriction of certain forums is it also able to disable posts on peoples profiles?

[Phalynx]

You mean visitor messages? Just delete the file visitormessage.php in /cwnw/streams/ to disable them.

I'm not sure if disabling of certain forum will be implemented, as I'm doing a new modification called Social Activity Stream. It will have the CWNW on every profile, listing activitities for the user and his friends.

hi phalynx
looks great!
but i have a problem.
my discussion board has different forums.
in the whdget, (forum) stream items has no information on witch forum the last entry was added.
i have sub forums, som subforums have same name as other sub forums of other parent forums.
my idee is to add also the whole "tree" in each stream item. same "tree" as you can find below the navbar.
see my screenshot.
has anybody an idea how to implement that?

When the activity stream modification for vb3.8 is ready, please consider to add a Central whats new vbadvanced module for vb3.8.

[yahooooh]

hello i make suggestions foractivity streams in user profile here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=49

but the part for this product is:
3. vba modules for activity streams for user friends
this will contain all activities of his friends only and for last xx time and will support ajax
and also will respect friends permissions if they remove one type of streas or one of them want to stop all his streams also option to shownot only friends but also all site streams from every one that his setting not preventing the streams show

4. the same as vba module but as php file , for example: streams.php with ability to make it as streams for all the site and with option for user to just for friends and also it will respect permissions of the users if they want to not show thier activities except for thier friends or for no one

How do I choose which streams are displayed? How can I disable the preview?
