Does anyone know how to change the ACTIVITY FEED Layout !

[Fred CAMPANA]

Hi there !

I find the NING's activity layout not really clear for the readers and would like something like that : www.chiwawabook.com

Anyone creator able to help on my project or any advice from members ?

Thanks.

Fred

of course. OBVIOUS for me ! (even a bit insulting that you could think the contrary)

[Peter Sorensen]

haha, you never know. There's all kinds of people out there - just making sure I cover my bases and not assume too much. Good to know you're on the same page.

just started with Ning few days ago. I try to figure out CSS to manage everything on my own (otherwise I would hire a webdesigner to copy the websites I like ;-))).

[Peter Sorensen]

That's because it links to an image on their server (at http://www.chiwawabook.com/application/themes/gordonpro/images/corn...). You'll probably want to make your own and host it on your own server.

Also, that's just to illustrate the CSS method they used. You may need to change

ul.feed .feed_item_body:before, .browsemembers_results_info:before

to whatever specific element you want to use it on.

I see ;-) Is-it possible to point on an image located on my computer ?

Thank you SO MUCH !

Hey Peter ?

And do you know if it is possible to make the background color in the activity feed different from the modules one ?

Thanks again !

You would just add

background-color: #efefef!important;

into the .feed-story CSS (and change #efefef to whatever color you want)

So if you used the example SweetPotato posted it would look like:

.feed-story {
    border: 1px solid #E4E4E4!important;
    border-radius: 5px!important;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px!important;
-moz-border-radius: 5px!important;
    clear: both;
    min-height: 48px;
    padding:10px;
    position: relative;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin:10px 0 20px 60px!important;
background-color: #efefef!important;
}

for blog ?  para  la seccion de  forum y blog   se puede ?

Nice tip but when I publish my site the background color doesn't show.

[Fred CAMPANA]

Indeed Ning activity feed use the same arrow (see where the member input their text) but I cannot understand how to use this one in the activity feed (after). When I inspect this element with firebug I can ready "overlay" and that's all.
