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.

Well I figured it out...

Looks like the forum side blocks won't appear when running the "Everywhere Sidebar" plugin.

Oy Vey, 3rd time I've had a major problem with DB-tech products.

Next time that happens (with any mod), add

PHP Code:

@ini_set('display_errors', true); 


to your config.php file directly beneath <?php - that way, whatever error is displayed will show up

We can't help you purely based on the notion of a blank screen, unfortunately

Thank you, I didn't know I could view errors that way. I will try to reinstall it and see why/what is causing the error. I appreciate your help & response!

I'm interested on this product, but only if it does what "status updates" does on Invision.

I mean, I want a "sidebar" block with only "what's on your mind" displayed and comments from other users below.

Like this:

Is that possible???

If it is, I'm interested even if I must pay for Pro version... but I'm not sure, I can't found a live demo site...

So, this can replace "activity stream"?...and do mood status updates show up on the live wall the same as they do under "status changes" on profile page?

Hi there,

did all the steps in the readme, I am Super Admin and so on, but when I'm trying to set the permissions, I only get "Invalid Action".

Best regards

No, this is not designed as an activity stream replacement. This mod preceded the activity stream

What moods are you referring to?

This is most commonly caused by incorrect uploads. Please drag and drop the contents of the upload folder to the folder where your forum resides.

dbtech user status/moods mod...of course. I'm only using the "mood"aspect of the plugin. is there any place that the list in the pic below, on member's profile field, would be displayed other than under "status changes"?....didn't see any examples in the screenshots you posted.
is this how it would look on the "live feed"?

[DragonByte Tech]

There's no integration with our USM product at this time, IIRC. Sorry
