Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

Today we're pleased to release a set of improvements to the Activity Feed feature on Ning 3.0 networks.

The updated Activity Feed allows members to view older items in the feed, and to view new items that have appeared since they loaded the page.

We've expanded the capabilities of Social Feeds so that you can have items automatically added to the Activity Feed via RSS and Twitter.

We've added a status feature, so that your members can leave status updates in the feed, and we've added link parsing for status updates, so that if a member adds a link, for example, to YouTube, the video is embedded and playable directly in the feed. Link parsing and embedding works with a wide variety of sites, including: YouTube, Dailymotion, Vine, Flickr video, Twitter, Soundcloud and Bandcamp. We'll also provide a preview of content for any link to a site that supports the OpenGraph standard.

With this release, members can also comment on status updates and individual photos directly in the feed.

In order to see and activate the new options that are available for the Activity Feed, head to the Activity Feed Settings page in the Social Site Manager.

    • I'm going to work on my Joomla site.....this is a waste of time.

      • I was looking into joomla I really like there layouts and found one perfect for what I am trying to do if you have more info on them it would be appreciated.  I have a entertainment website and they have a layout that you can set up a billboard type ordeal to track who gets plays how many times and ranks them from that I love that lay out but would need more info on that site thank you in advance.

        • Very steep learning curve but self hosted,  open source and infinitely flexible....here is a page from my Joomla site which I iframed into Ning....note the review feature on the individual book listing pages....just one example of the many thousands of sophisticated extensions available for the platform. http://americymru.net/group/2014-west-coast-eisteddfod-online-short...

          • so if I have hosting already with go daddy how would i go about getting the site I want?  I saw layouts but I think i seen something about paying for certain layouts how does it work?  is there a toll free number to call and speak with them about there product I haven't seen a number to call?

            • Joomla is open source and free to download and install....some of the extensions and layouts are free also but many more are paid for.

              • That is good to know.  I went with Social Engine PHP so there was a rather large cost involved.  

            • Depending on what you are looking at, you have to purchase the social network php software and then upload it to your server.  

  • Now I'm getting a 500 error on my 3.0 network.
