Refining what is in Activity Feed

I followed the thread here and it is exactly what I wish to do ( https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/ning-to-jamroom/24059/refining-whats-shown-in-the-home-page-activity-timeline)

(omit when someone comments on someone's profile, and omit follows)

I am using slate skin however, and I am not sure what template to use in the string of code.

I searched templates and nothing came up that has "activity" in it either.

I have...
{jrCore_list module="jrAction" page="$_post.p" pagebreak="10" search1="action_module != jrFollower" search2="action_module != jrComment" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" }

The way I have it set up in an index page which is HOME and then a page that is called /activity which has different areas of activity where people can go to to see what is happening around the entire "Sunroom" (my name for my social network.)

The page I am working on is here: http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/activity

And then... I want to do the same kind of list with just updates from the forums. I saw how to do this as well, but still am a bit stuck on the template issue.

Thank you!

You will want to modify this template:

modules/jrAction/templates/index.tpl

Hope this helps!

thanks, it's a start... LOL. I am giving it my best shot on things (the more I know the better off things will be in the future) but I am making a list to hire someone for the rest. Thanks, @brian !

Sorry, but I am missing something. I can't locate this template. I have gone to my modules dashboard, and have gone through every option looking for jrAction. I can find the index.tpl in the skin area... But I am looking at something wrong. I see the template button for all the modules but can't find anything resembling jrAction.

Its the jrAction module but in the ACP its called 'Activity Timeline', and the template you want is actually 'item_index.tpl', so ACP=>Users=>Activity Timeline=>Templates=>item_index.tpl

Thanks @Paul and @Brian.

Okay, so I found the template (thx, Paul) and put this code in with the search items over the top of the previous code. (see below)

I then went to my Activity page http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/activity

...and I think it is okay. I am not sure why Mary Lou's post are repeating. Maybe because she uploaded multiple photos and it shows her gallery each time she did so?

Also, I just want the titles of the blog posts, not the entire posts, in the feed. I have tried to figure that one out, but no luck.

Ideas? Thank you!!

Code didn't come through.. trying to repost...




{if isset($_post.p)}
{jrCore_list module="jrAction" profile_id=$_profile_id search1="action_module != jrFollower" search2="action_module != jrComment" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak="12" page=$_post.p pager=true}
{else}
{jrCore_list module="jrAction" profile_id=$_profile_id search1="action_module != jrFollower" search2="action_module != jrComment"order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak="12" page="1" pager=true}
{/if}

Put any code inside [ code ] tags (see the BBCode Help below).

To edit blog action posts checkout the /modules/jrBlog/templates/item_action.tpl template.

I found that template, but I don't know what to do with it. Sorry...

If you need a good representation of a Ning person feeling lost over here, I am a good example. I usually know my way around websites pretty well, but am feeling completely lost over here...

PS: I am trying to finalize my wish list to hire out... but it's time consuming to just see what I can and cannot do myself. Thanks for all your patience with me @Paul in the forums.

Jamroom comes from being a platform for developers to build sites on and is making its way towards a system for non-technical users. We're moving toward that goal fast.

But until we can get to the features your after, the ways to customize things are still web development techniques. Thanks for making an effort to understand them. We realize you don't want to. so we're trying to make it so you don't have to as fast as possible.

Resty, maybe it's a small comfort, but things have improved by HUGE leaps since I got here in terms of the JRTeam making things easier and more intuitive for us noncoders. Take heart in knowing that you are moving forward way faster than i did. I still hope to beat you in actually going live though!
