Option to change New Profile Posts Sidebar into Recent Status Sidebar

[M@rc]

The idea is simple. With the flick of a switch in the admin panel, turn the "New Profile Posts" sidebar into a "Recent Status" sidebar.

What it should do :

- Only displaying the member's own profile post from their profile (so it's a status rather than writing up big Joe from down the block with a "hello").

- Have the option to only display one profile post per member at a time to avoid the doc from spamming



The only way to do this was through an outdated recent status add-on and Widget Framework. The widget from Widget Framework's latest version does not currently work as intended anymore, but this would be a great addition to the xenForo software IMO.

Would really love for this to be included in one of the first releases of xenForo 2.

That part is solely for stopping spam Changing "new profile posts" into "recent statuses" is the real idea I'm after.

This makes perfect sense! I heavily support it.

Didn't the XenForo website have this behavior at one point? Does anyone have a similar addon for XF2?

Nah, it was an addon (one by an old-time third-party developer and an updated one by xfrocks). I thought it was a core XF 1 feature at one time too.

Looks like we just need a new filter.
