Tip: Your Network's "Latest Activity" is Alive and Kicking

[Bernard Lama]

Hi NCs,

Actually I love to share copy and paste kinda stuff here. I don't want to make it too complicated to implement. However, this time you gotta do some works to bring your network's Latest Activity to life.  Please follow the instructions carefully.

Instruction:

Step one: Go to Latest Activity of your site>Find feed icon at the left bottom>Right click and copy the link address.

Step Two: Go to this
site and find
"Add the feed or blog url" > Paste your Latest Activity Feed Url in the field> Adjust with=180 and height=400 >Change background color text color etc. which suits to you network theme > Find the javacriipt code under "Copy and Paste" and copy the code and paste it into notepad.

Step Three: Copy and paste the following code into notepad.
 

<div style='position: fixed; top: 33px; right: 5px; z-index:998'>JAVASCRIPT CODE GOES HERE</div>


Step Four: Copy and paste the javascript code from the notepad and paste it between
<div style='position: fixed; top: 33px; right: 5px; z-index:998'>
and
</div>


Step Five: Copy and Paste the complete code and paste it into Custom Code area via My network>Tools. The complete code looks like this.

 


<div style='position: fixed; top: 33px; right: 5px; z-index:998'>

Hi Bernard Lama

Nice work, i have a question cos i have used one of the surfing-waves.com feed widgets.

It works and looks great, only i did not want their logo on my network so i took it off and after a week or so the feed widget stopped working. So my question is did you go pro? cos i would like to, but am still considering it.

What am grateful about is the div code, should have come up with it myself but i was not so sure so thanks man,  gonna use it 2morrow to place a small advert on my network

Big up

Hi Stypo,

I simply removed the code to make sure that their logo and link are not displayed. And it's working like a charm for the last many weeks. Let's see what happens lol. I guess there is no any option to go for pro. I guess this widget is for promotional purpose.

The code

<div style="text-align:right; width:180px;"><a href="http://www.surfing-waves.com" target="_blank" alt="surfing waves"><img src="http://img.surfing-waves.com/images/swlogo.png" border="0" alt="surfing"></a><a href="http://www.surfing-waves.com/feed.htm" target="_blank" style="color:#ccc;font-size:10px">feed widget</a></div>

It floats at the side of the screen, but can it work as a stationary part of the page? Like what's there now, but without the "new posts" button.

[Stygo Alphamatt]

Yes it can, only then you don`t need the Div Code that Bernard provided but just put the code you got fromsurfing-waves.com direct to a text box.

[pjcyto]

Haha, of course, right? It didn't cross my mind that this was an add on to another post until I saw that original one.

Anyway, your last comment needs an answer for me as well. I'd rather not have the logo on there, but the widget is superb.

[Bernard Lama]

yes you r right stygo.

[Rowald]

Great tip Bernard!

Is there any way that this feed shows photos?

[Bernard Lama]

Yeah it's possible...just go to Html (images / links): and check on under content advanced settings .
