XF 1.5 What I'm doing wrong editing /recent-activity/ ?

[rafass]

This is the page: Recent Activity | XenForo Community
I need to put something here: (after the username)

I've already checked everything, and I'm 99% sure the only template I have to edit is
news_feed_item [right?]

<li id="{xen:if $itemId, $itemId, 'item_{$item.news_feed_id}'}" class="event primaryContent NewsFeedItem" data-author="{$item.username}">

    <xen:avatar user="$item" size="s" class="icon" />

    <div class="content">  
        {xen:raw $itemTemplate}
  
        <xen:datetime time="{$itemDate}" />
    </div>
</li>

Has been impossible show my element there. I mean, it show but in other locations. like:

But there are not any way to put my element next to the username.

I did the same in more than 20 templates already and everything has been perfect.
What I'm doing wrong with that page? some help is really appreciated.

Look at the individual news_feed_item_* templates to see how the content is constructed.

In the case above, it would be news_feed_item_resource_update_like.

Hello Brogan.

Look at the individual news_feed_item_* templates to see how the content is constructed.

Before open this thread, A friend told me the same, and I've been checking the content of all my news_feed_item_*
and the final conclusion is that the only template appropriated to to this is news_feed_item
This my list of news_feed_item_* :

In the case above, it would be news_feed_item_resource_update_like.

I've changed the screenshots to show my own case. (I have not installed the resource manager yet. so I have only 14 templates. (all of them checked carefully) nothing to do there. (apparently)
The only template to have sense to edit is (according what I need) is news_feed_item
The result is always the same:

It's not possible to add an icon after the user name by editing the news_feed_item template.

The user name is added via one of the specific templates.

Excellent! That worked! you're absolutely right. I was very wrong, finally I found it: news_feed_item_post_insert

<h3 class="description">

    <xen:if is="{$content.attach_count}">
   
        <xen:comment><!-- $user attached a file to a post --></xen:comment>
        {xen:phrase news_feed_post_insert_attachment,
            'username={xen:helper username, $user, 'primaryText'}
           
                    <here>
           
            ',
            'threadTitle=<a href="{xen:link posts, $content}"{xen:if '{$content.hasPreview}', ' class="PreviewTooltip" data-previewUrl="{xen:link threads/preview, $content}"'}>{xen:helper threadPrefix, $content}{$content.title}</a>'}
   
    <xen:else />
   
        <xen:comment><!-- $user posted a post --></xen:comment>
        {xen:phrase news_feed_post_insert,
            'username={xen:helper username, $user, 'primaryText'}
           
                    <here>
           
            ',
            'threadTitle=<a href="{xen:link posts, $content}"{xen:if '{$content.hasPreview}', ' class="PreviewTooltip" data-previewUrl="{xen:link threads/preview, $content}"'}>{xen:helper threadPrefix, $content}{$content.title}</a>'}

    </xen:if>

<p class="snippet post">{xen:helper snippet, $content.message, $xenOptions.newsFeedMessageSnippetLength, {xen:array 'stripQuote=1'}}</p>

<xen:include template="news_feed_attached_images" />

Thanks so much for the great support as always!

The other news_feed_item templates include a username as well if you want to include your ribbon there.

Got it Thank you katsulynx!

Now I'm facing problems with my conditional in the code:

Is showing the badge in the wrong users.

 

[Lukas W.]

What conditional are you using?

 

[Paul B]

I suspect that is applying to you rather than the associated member.

 

[Snog]

You'll never get a proper response in the alert or recent activity templates using the conditional you showed in another thread without some PHP coding.

$user does not contain the user groups for the user in the alerts.

array(5) {
   ["user_id"] => int(11)
   ["username"] => string(5) "MTest"
   ["gender"] => string(4) "male"
   ["gravatar"] => string(0) ""
   ["avatar_date"] => int(1405082762)
}

 

[rafass]

Thank you Snog! that's true. (unfortunately)
Is not possible make this the modification in certain templates in the normal way. (alerts & feed)(doesn't recognize my conditional)(on my particular case)
That would require a custom development with PHP files.

Question:
This is "As designed"? (all the info for a user isn't available to all templates)
Or is something that could be improved in the future if is suggested?
