Formatting Latest Activity Page

Vote 0 Votes

Hello Everyone,

Hope you can help.

I have set up a latest activity page, to list the latest action on my blog and elsewhere. How do I go about formatting the output. As it stands I have a rather condensed looking list (www.mpharmj.com/mpj/activity.html). I've tried editing plugins/ActionStreams/css/action-streams.css, without success. Any pointers?

Also, I have set up another blog that allows Polls, following the advice from (http://slapnose.com/archives/2007/02/14/creating_polls_in_movable_type/). Looking at my activity page, the votes from the poll are described as comments (which is true I suppose). Can I change this to read 'voted' rather than 'commented'?

('MPJ voted on Dispensing' rather than 'MPJ commented on Dispensing')

Thank you in advance for any guidance and help.

Much obliged

Mumtaz

    You didn't specify what you wanted changed.

    That depends on where it is getting that. The label for an action stream entry is usually controlled by its plugin. That's the main reason why I killed the CommunityActions plugin (whatever it's called) that posts events like user comments. It is buggy (as of 4.261) and doesn't generate labels correctly (and I'm not inclined to tweak it). If those entries are connected to it, then you're probably going to have to modify that plugin's behavior a little bit.

    If you decide to do that, there is usually a method in an action streams plugin which generates a label. You'll know it when you look through the file if you're so inclined.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
