Posting Activity Bar [library support]

[Wormopolis]

I see the bar in 3 browsers when looking at your forum.

ok well it cant magically make information appear in the mini-profile. ALL javascript can only rely on the information that it has access to. The registration date has to appear in the mini-profile template. you can even set display:none on it, but the data has to be there.

I can see it working in 3 browsers on my test site, so if you provide a link to your site I can tell you what is wrong

Ok, I have managed to get this showing up. You said above that you can set the display:none. What does that pertain to? Is that to make the registration date not show under the profile? I prefer the reg date to not be showing. Too much clutter. I like the bar though. I hate to bother you, but can't you tell me how to make the reg date not show.

Thanks

well the registration date is required in order to get a timespan. if you dont want it to show, you can do this:

<span class="post_act" style="display:none">$[user.registered_on]</span>

as for specific placement, there isnt currently anything in the plugin for it. it always puts it at the bottom. however you can do this:


in the mini-profile template where you want it to show, add this:

<span class="act_bar_move"></span>

where you want it to move to


then put this into global footer:


<script type="text/javascript">
$('tr.item').each(function(){
var actbar=$(this).find('div.post_activity');
if (actbar) $(this).find('span.act_bar_move').append(actbar);
});
</script>

see if that works out

Wormopolis Please disregard my earlier question. I was backtracking the thread and found the answer here.

I am having problems with this plug in. As you know I installed the other Posting Activity plug in. I decided I wanted to try the Plus to track for a month.

I have several issues happening.

1) I can't get both bars to show.
2) I really only wanted the specialty bar, but I found that it is showing me the same bar information for both my admin account and my test account even though they have different registration dates.

I have noticed a difference in how the vertical white progress bar shows up for one of my members. It seems to be transparent. Here is a pic. See the difference between the two progress bars? I can't imagine why PTBAA's is transparent like that. Its not a biggy, but I thought I would let you know.

are you running two plugins?

No. This is from my live site. I need another Super Key before I can install the Posting Activity Plus. I presume that is why you asked about 2 plug ins.

At my test site I disabled this one to test the PAP plug in.

Which makes me ask this. At the test site would I need to delete the PA plug in to test the PAP?

The live site though never had the PAP.

I noticed the odd vertical progress bar on someone else's profile as well.

Ok. I am confused here.

I KNOW I started a separate thread for the Posting Activity Plus plug in, because it is a different plug in than the Posting Activity plug in, I thought it should have its own support thread since it will have different issues than the other plug in.

Doesn't each plug in get its own support thread? Like the Quarantine has its own separate from the Companion?

If you combined them, then fine, but it may get confusing for people since these are two separate plug ins with different features.

[Wormopolis]

These two plugins are related so I merged them. I dont like having multiple threads about the same plugin.

PAP has all the same features as PA does. which is also why I wanted to make sure you werent runnign both.

Quarantine and companion use the same thread as well.


what site has the 2 different profiles with vertical bar being different?

At the risk of making this thread more confusing - - This is in regards to the Posting Activity plug in. The single bar. I noticed that the person with the odd vertical bar, the bar looked okay in a different thread, while someone else's looked transparent.

It may be due to some odd thing going on with my site so don't waste time on that ok?

As for the Posting Activity Plus plug in, which I did start its own thread for, I tried all sorts of settings and variations and couldn't get two bars.

Plus when I changed the settings to test my admin account against my test account. It wanted to show the bar in the same location on both when it should not. They have different registration dates and I set the setting for 7 days because I have not used the test account for a couple of weeks. Yet it still showed the same placement as my admin account.

I don't want both bars to show, I just happened to notice that I couldn't get both to show. I just want the specialty bar to show, but I want it to reflect the proper info.

Hope this helps explain the situation.

PAP doesnt use registration dates when showing the custom bars. its uses the literal post count over a span of days. if you set it to be 7 days, it just looks at the last 7 days.

Ok but the two accounts should show differently then, since I made several posts today with my admin account and zero for the past few weeks from the test account. So they should not be showing the same placement in the bar. The one should be at the very far left and the other in the bar a little bit. Correct?

were the posts made after the plugin was installed?

Some of the admin posts were made before and some after. But both the test account and the admin account had the bar in the same place. The test account should have had the bar to the extreme left.

While i'm thinking of it. Is it possible to make the bar in the PAP look like the one in PA? I like the looks of that one better.

[Wormopolis]

its the same engine that creates the bars. however PAP had a css fix for the notch width that PA never was pushed. so I just submitted v1.2.5 to the library for that. that will fix that weirdness on your live site.

I just checked PAP in 3 browsers and its recording post counts correctly for me.

I need to be able to see the same bars you are looking at. PAP custom bars go off actual post counts, BUT the general bar in PAP is the same engine as PA has. uses the same variables, and even the same code to generate it. Its possible its picking up a wrong date maybe from somewhere else in the div though.
