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.

Everything is working well and I have not seen any errors yet. There is one little thing though...

When viewing the User Wall there is some html that is messing things up a little...

style= "max-width: 0px;"

Is there a template I can edit to remove this bit of html?

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you try searching for that code in the templates? I don't believe I added it anywhere...

A friend can post on my wall?

Yeah, I think it needs to tie in better with Visitor Messages and work more like a Wall.
It feels disconnected having the two tabs. Now if the User Wall had an editor and was the default tab when visiting the user profile that would be better.

There's no Wall feature like FB so that's not currently possible, sorry

All that's needed now is a like, so you can like other statuses, like FB.
I have VBSeo, is there anyway we can get this done?

Adding integration with our advanced post thanks/like mod is on the to-do list =)

Hello and thanks for the awesome mod!

I got a problem though. I installed everything I think correctly but when I click to view the live feed links it just reloads the forum page. I can see the users wall and it's working but the live feed links are not.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Could you try it on a default (unmodified) skin?

Is the setting to be able to edit other's status something that only works in the Pro version? Doesn't seem to do anything in the Lite version we've just installed.
