RecentStatus

[Trombones13]

You're welcome. Looking forward trying out the latest build - does it work with beta 4?

IMPORTANT:
If you are upgrading from version 2.X, you need to uninstall this, and remove the template edit from forum_list. It now adds the template via a template hook that was introduced in beta 3/4. Should make it easier going forward.
_____________________________________
Updated to version 3.0.0
Changelog:

• No template edits required.
• Beta 4 Required
• Bug fixes to this point implemented

To upgrade, Download RecentStatus_3_0_0.zip from the first post, reupload the upload directory, then go to ACP->List Addons->Controls next to RecentStatus and choose upgrade->Select the xml file from the download.
If you have any problems, please let me know.

@Floris: Yup.

Try this again with the new version, I think it may just work now.

Will do and I'll let you know if there's a problem. Thanks a bunch!

It actual requires beta 4 at this point because of the template hook code.

Oh duh, my bad

Nah it's all good

FYI, I made a small mistake I didn't upload the ACP portion that let's you change the color/weight of the date and message I'm going to get that uploaded once I get off the train and home hopefully.

have you considered making this a module for xenporta? This way it can be moved around...

Would need to look and see what would be involved with that, I'm not sure how he did his modules. I'll take a look at it.

So I upload the v3 files. Remove the edits from the template. Upgrade.
Recent status is not appears in the sidebar. ??

Running beta4.

Are you using a custom style? If so, they may not have updated it to include the hooks added in Beta 4.

It's also possible that because of edits in it, that it didn't update the forum_list templates to include the new hooks. You may need to revert the forum_list template, if you are using the default or add them yourself.

The end of your forum_list template should look something like this:

<xen:sidebar>
	<xen:edithint template="sidebar.css" />

	<xen:hook name="forum_list_sidebar">
		<xen:include template="sidebar_online_users" />

		<!-- block: forum_stats -->
		<div class="section">
			<div class="secondaryContent statsList" id="boardStats">
				<h3>{xen:phrase forum_statistics}</h3>
				<div class="pairsJustified">
					<dl class="discussionCount"><dt>{xen:phrase discussions}:</dt>
						<dd>{xen:number $boardTotals.discussions}</dd></dl>
					<dl class="messageCount"><dt>{xen:phrase messages}:</dt>
						<dd>{xen:number $boardTotals.messages}</dd></dl>
					<dl class="memberCount"><dt>{xen:phrase members}:</dt>
						<dd>{xen:number $boardTotals.users}</dd></dl>
					<dl><dt>{xen:phrase latest_member}:</dt>
						<dd><xen:username user="$boardTotals.latestUser" /></dd></dl>
					<!-- slot: forum_stats_extra -->
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
		<!-- end block: forum_stats -->
	</xen:hook>
</xen:sidebar>

Note the xen:hook open and close tags. Those are needed to make this work. The other thing to try is to actually uninstall the mod from the control panel and add it from scratch. Give those a try and let me know if that helps.

That was it.
I checked all the templates in Mike's post. forum_list wasn't on the list.
But like he said, it was a non-exhaustive list.

Thank you so much!

Cool glad it's working for you.

dont work for me, if I update my status =
Not Found

The requested URL /xf/members/Admin.1/post was not found on this server.

same with Version 3, Pity!

 

[bambua]

Did you completely uninstall it and reinstall it?

 

[hcmagix]

Yes shure.

 

[bambua]

Yes shure.

Can you post the recent_status template from your current style? Also are you logged in as admin when you try this, or another user?

Great idea.

Not sure if this is a bug or if I have something set wrong, but on my site I manually approve new members. If a person registers and is still in the not yet approved queue, they apparently still have the ability to update their status on the home page.... I can see this being a potential exploit for spammers.

Good catch, I'm going to make sure I check that they are allowed to post updates based on the permissions in the ACP on the next update.

I've installed it on a fresh beta 5 install.

Doesn't show up on the side bar and also there is no "show comments" option in the settings! Downloaded and doubled checked the correct files were uploaded / installed.

 

[Lee]

Also, could you add an option to reply to comments from the sidebar? Then it would be the most awesome mod @ xenForo

 

[bambua]

I'll do some testing on beta 5 tonight, It'll be the first chance I've had to work on it.
