Posting Activity Bar [library support]

[Wormopolis]

does the blue theme have the parts in the mini-profile it needs?

it needs to be able to find a post count and have the span around the register date

   Okay. So I really know very little about how this whole coding stuff works. I thought I did.. but I was wrong... I have tried multiple times to make the posting activity plugin to work, but I cannot even get the registered date to work...

Is there a way to get this plug in to work on a week to week basis or a month to month?

there is now.  there is a second version of this plugin called "posting activity plus" that will track on a specific length of time.

Hi there! Is there a way to manually place this in a certain part of the mini-profile in a custom mini-profile design? That doesn't require registration date.

[Wormopolis]

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

Hey, I had my site on maintenance to work on it, which is when I added this plugin. It worked fine, until I brought it out of maintenance two days ago and now it only shows the registered date but the bar itself is gone.

Also, is there any way to have JUST the bar, without the registered date being shown? And when I had it on before it vanished, it showed activeness based on pose count since joining - even though I stated that "active" meant they had posted at least twice a day.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

go back into your template and put that span INSIDE the mini-profile div instead of after it. the code assumes its inside.

if you want to hide it, see the post above yours about adding in a style=display:none into the span tag.

[Water Crystals]

Okay, I did that. The bar still isn't showing up.

[Wormopolis]

ok.. so what is happening is you have formatted the post count in a way that it cant figure out what it is.

the code looks for "posts: num" and you have it as "<span>posts:</span> num" so it doesnt recognize what it needs to calculate the bar

but this isnt a big deal because the template is our friend. somewhere in that mini-profile div put this

<span style="display:none">posts: $[user.posts]</span>

the code gets what it needs and it doesnt actually show in the mini-profile (and the way you have it formatted still shows)

[Water Crystals]

Thank you! It works!

Just one last thing, is there a way to have the bar not apply to staff members?

The activeness is set by recent posts, right? I noticed a member who hasn't posted in months has the bar almost 1/3 of the way. I think ideally, by my own preference, the bar would show them inactive if they haven't posted at all in the last say 3 days. Moderately active if they posted sometime in the last three days. And then very active if they posted more than 6 times in the last three days. Just an idea - if it can't be easily configured that way, it's okay.

Thanks again for the help!

[Wormopolis]

the general posting activity bar uses total post counts over the lifetime of the member. it does not look at recent activity. that would be the other version.

if you want to make it ignore staff, I would surround that span from earlier with template {if} statements to only show if not staff

I'm having the same problem. The join date is showing, but the bar isn't. I have a few other plugins installed, but I don't think that's the problem...

I'm using "Joined: " instead of "Registered: ", but i've tested with "Registered: " too and it still doesn't work.

Thanks in advance
