I don't know of any extra script. Currently it should update each time a new action takes place - - the ones you choose to be listed in your Latest Activity Stream. But, it's not as smooth as Twitter or Facebook. It's not what I would call real time, but not bad on some actions like status updates.

Best,

Jen

Thanks Jen. It definitely would be a nice function if it happens real-time without having to refresh a page.

Hi Jen,

I've been searching around about trying to achieve a twitter like behaviour for the latest activity module. I came across this particular script.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/sagscroller.htm

What do you think? Would it be possible to integrate this script into the latest activity module on the main page?

The feeds might not be getting refreshed automatically real-time, but atleast one can show more feeds in a concise space when they keep on rotating. I know we can use a scroll bar too, but that just doesn't look that elegant right in the middle of the page.

Your thoughts?

Thanks... Arjun

Hi Arjun,

To integrate any script with the built-in latest activity would likely take some serious development. If you just added the latest activity RSS Feed to a script like the code you've shown, it should be doable. But keep in mind, it will be in a text box, not part of the existing latest activity. You'll have to upload these files to a server (sagscroller.css and sagscroller.js), or to Ning. Change the URLs to your file upload URLS. And add this code to your Custom Code Box:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sagscroller.css" />

<script src="sagscroller.js">

 

Then, edit the actual code for the scroller (second box down on dynamicdrive), and add that code to a Text Box.

 

Here's the RSS Feed for the Latest Activity. Grab yours by changing this link, or clicking  on the RSS button under the module:

Good luck,

Jen

Arjun,

I just looked again. I thought the script allowed RSS Feeds, and it does. But, you need to get those instructions here:

Thanks a ton Jen. I'll give this a shot when I have some free time... at the moment I'm just concentrating on getting my website ready for my launch.... I guess I'll leave this feature for later. 

Thank you... Arjun
