Scroll Bar for Latest Activity on Home Page / Profile Pages

Scrollable Latest Activity / Scroll Through Latest Activity On Home Page / Profile Pages

I'm not too much into the scrolling comments walls, and such. But this particular little tweak, I like a lot. It will add a vertical scroll bar to your Latest Activity module on the home page. If you only have 4 postings selected, the bar may not show up with 500 height. You can adjust the height to suit your preference.

Add this CSS to Manage/Appearance/Advanced CSS, at bottom.

/* Scroll Bar for Latest Activity */
.xg_widget_main .xg_module_activity .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

To scroll your Latest Activity on Member Profiles too, just remove the main page class, like this:
.xg_module_activity .xg_module_body {height: 500px;overflow : auto;position:relative;}

I'm sure in the future, a lot of my tips will be messed up. I will fix as time allows, and when possible. If you could add these comments to the original tip, I'll take a look.

Thanks,

Jen

Hi Jen!

Will this work with the new Latest Activity feed? Since there isn't a "see more" option on the latest activity, I'd like to use the max 20 items, but in a scroll bar, so it doesn't eat up alot of space...

It should work fine. Let me know if not.

I may be wrong, hang on. I thought this was the code I'm using. But this isn't working on Creators.

Okay Dave, what a crazy few hours. Did this work for you, or not?

Best,

Jen

works great! Hey, if I wanted to change the color of the bar, can that be easily accomplished?

Thanks Jen!

Oh. Glad you showed me. Bad news is, I don't do scrollbars. It only works on IE, and not worth the tweaking. So sorry. http://www.theme-worx.com/ may help you with this.

Best Regards,

Dave,

There is a way to do this with javascript, but honestly, it's such a pain.

Best,

Jen
