Just add a search parameter.

You can turn timeline entries for login and signup off in the User module

Oh cool, under quota config there! Never noticed it because my default was for 'off' anyway.
Thanks Paul, I learn something new every day!

Thanks paul- that would be easiest
I see the option for turning off "sign up" but cannot find the option for "log in"
Please help

Curtis, the function controls BOTH together, as per the Help text:

"If this option is checked, when a user signs up or logs in to this quota, the action will be added to the timeline."

Thank you- yes i saw that...but after checking the box and then clearing cache all the sigh ups are removed from my timeline but the Log in entries are still there?
Maybe they have to be deleted in the datastore?

Curtis, you can adjust your index_activity_list template.
First, see if you have that template in your custom skin... if so, then adjust that one. If not, then adjust that template in your jrAction module.
In my skin, I have it set so that two things do NOT show up in the main page activity feed: when someone 'follows' someone else, and when someone leaves a comment on another member's profile page. (I have lots of "welcome to the site!" comments)
So, my skin's template omits those things from the activity feed by adding:
to the skin's index_activity_list.
You could add something like Nate's above suggested search parameter there, using his "login" code example.

That said, logins do not show up on my main page activity feed to begin with, so I'm not sure how your site and mine differ in that way. There must be something else making them show up on yours. But perhaps that code will stop them showing regardless of the cause.

You will get better performance by changing this:


To this:

the "not_in" operator takes a comma separated list of values to match.

The "ignore_missing" key is a special key that is only needed on !=, not_like and not_in operators (basically negating operators) that can be added to tell the core that it can ignore any items that do NOT have the key you are searching on, otherwise the core has to include any items that are missing the key you are searching on (since those items "do not match").

Basically anywhere we can cut down the number of separate search conditions will always result in a higher performing query.

Great! Thanks Brian.
So... my new line of code will eliminate the need to even say "search2=..." and will combine both things to hide from the activity feed?
I'll make this code change and test it.

Yep - exactly. You can string as many values as you want on the not_in - i.e.


So you're not just limited to 2 values - you can have 20 if you want.

Ok I made this code change and tested it- it's working. Thanx much!
P.S. can Curtis add his 'login' value in there among the comma list to not let 'login' actions show on his main page feed as well? What exactly would he add in the comma-separated values?

Thank you both!
