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.

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

Your best bet is to suggest this in a thread over at the support forums to make sure it gets noticed and taken into consideration each time we're designing a new version =)

As far as adding support for 3rd party products, that tends to be something we do after we have added the feature requests and 1st party integration, so it will probably be a bit before those get added unless there are several requests for the integration from pro customers over at DBTech.

We try to put features that everyone can make use of ahead of things like 3rd party integration that most people won't use, unless a number of our customers request the feature. For obvious reasons requests like that tend to be given priority :P

Once again DbTech making excellent plugins!

[spoiler] tag awareness would be nice too...

[DragonByte Tech]

This mod is aware of all BBCode that can be used in non-forum areas as per the vBulletin options. We have no further control over BBCode parsing.

Note that if the text between BBCode tags go over the preview limit, BBCode will not parse correctly.

I can not find the option to delete unwanted messages

[DragonByte Tech]

There is currently no way to delete status updates.

[tarzan22]

Ok, then you can use it to spam, etc.

[GhettoTech]

If I have the pro version and "comment" on someone's response to a thread THROUGH the Live feed, does it post to the actual thread itself? or would these responses be separate?

[DragonByte Tech]

It doesn't, but in a future version the Pro version will display comments underneath each post
