[XB] Forum Content List Tabs [Paid] 2.0.4 Patch Level 1

[Gemma]

@Painbaker, would it be possible to add filtering options to the Latest Activity/News Feed tab?

Something like my naff mock-up, I think it would be one more positive step towards better content delivery (along with a true real-time feed).

Obviously, will fund this.

If we select "Use as latest activity," no item shows up in the "News Tab." I think this is not usual, as it should show the Posts, Profile posts, Profile post comments, and Threads. Could you please have a look at this error?

Can I see your tab settings? Maybe you have enabled some filters that exclude everything.

I want to propose some changes to this add-on. Would you mind evolving it into a Feed add-on? There are pretty similarities so I think it is woth to evolve it.

If you mean infinite scroll feeds - this add-on was not designed to have such a thing. This addon was intended to be a page element/widget with other content below it.

Yes, but not all of the filters from your example.


There are many different types of content in the news feed and the “Unread content” and "Watched content" filter cannot be implemented here, as XF does not have any standard or Finder interface for filtering on Unread/Watched content.

Also there is no parent container standard for NewsFeed items to somehow play around with manual filtering with items that have deeply nested entity relations for parent container Unread/Watched entity.

But we can make checkboxes for each supported content type and you will have:

Unread threads
Unread resources
Watched forums
Watched threads

But again, there is no standard, and the supported content will be limited.

Yes, that was using some options available in the Themehouse Feeds addon.

So, could we filter by thread types?



There are options for admin to select what is available in the feed. Could this be an end-user option?

This is my tab settings. If I enable 'use as latest activity' no item is showing.
