There are also buttons so you can go forward and back in the activity stream and a close/open button in the bottom right.

== Installation ==

Very nice. How do I remove this when viewing with BuddyPress Mobile theme?
January 5th, 2011 on 10:28 pm
One thing you could try is put this in the BuddyPress Mobile theme css file.
.footeractivity{display: none;}
Let me know if that works for you.

This plugin conflicts with the google map page of jet event system. Any suggestions on how to solve the issue where the map will not display if this plugin is activated?
January 18th, 2011 on 5:20 am
Do you have a URL so I can check this out? If not I’ll set up a test install to have a look later this week.

Hi.
What if I want it to show up everywhere BUT the homepage?
Thanks so much. Love your work. Big fan. Seen all your movies.
January 26th, 2011 on 3:45 pm
Here is how you would do it – http://pastebin.com/5AzjvwFi
Just change the add_bp_activity_footer() function in the buddypress-activity-stream-bar.php.php file with the link above.
@roydeanjr How does it conflict with the jet event system?
February 19th, 2011 on 10:58 pm
I’m a huge fan, but what if I wanted it to only show Friends recent activities instead of the whole site? How would I do that?
February 19th, 2011 on 11:09 pm
Please check out the FAQ.

Hi. Very impressive plugin! Thanks.
But I didnt succeed to remove the bar in Buddypress mobile by adding .footeractivity{display: none;} in the style.css file of Buddypress mobile theme. Another idea?

I have 2 great big red ‘X’s right next to the profile image icon in IE8
March 7th, 2011 on 3:41 pm
Please update to 1.3.2 and see if that fixes your issue. Should be live in about 15 mins.

Great plugin! The images for the arrows left and right first didn’t show up because the URL to the images didn’t consider that my blog is in a subfolder. I solved it by changing the src to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/img/left.png” (same for right.png).
Also, I find it more intuitive if the minus sign changes to a plus sign when the admin bar is collapsed. (line 21 the 2nd minus in bp-activity-bar.php)
thanks
March 17th, 2011 on 1:39 pm
Good idea on the plus/minus sign, don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
March 18th, 2011 on 8:04 am
I notice only now that the code part was removed. Essential is the: echo site_url() to return the beginning to the path to the image, which helped in my case. Before that the path was missing the subfolder to my WP installation. thanks

Left/Right image broken. Do I need to change wpurl to something else?
`<img src="/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/img/right.png” />`

Are you running WordPress with multisite(network) on?
April 30th, 2011 on 3:45 pm
Great plugin! Anyway to change it so that the View link goes to the full Site Activity page, not just the single item? Thanks.
April 30th, 2011 on 6:06 pm
Sorry not that I know of.
May 6th, 2011 on 5:32 pm
OK, thanks. One other problem – the plugin works great on desktops/laptops etc. but on smartphones (tested in 3 different browsers), it doesn’t hold it’s position at the bottom of the screen but instead as one scrolls, the activity bar also scrolls and covers the middle of the page content.
May 15th, 2011 on 6:57 am
Yeah i got the same problem Tony. Can that be fixed or made bigger for mobiles and made to stuck to the bottom of my iphone safari browser?
Johnny

That’s actually a limitation on smart phones running webkit (WebOS, iPhone, Android). It doesn’t stay pinned to the bottom like it supposed to. I’ve looked for a work around but have yet to find anything that works yet .. :/
May 23rd, 2011 on 8:37 am
Noticed the bar covers up the “finish registration” button on reg pages. I fixed it by using the is_home logic from the faqs, but substituted bp_is_register_page()
instead.
Also concerned with the mobile issue. We have a very important app that users fill out, and the floating bar causes issues (they can’t what they are entering).

Great job! This is an excellent implementation of an ajaxified activity stream. Is there an easy way to turn this into a widget or to add directly to a page template for a specific area of a page? I’ve created custom widget areas and would like a rotating activity stream to display as an area under my homepage slider at the content width; as opposed to a sticky footer at full width.
The only other BP Activity plugin: ‘Buddypress Jquery Activity Stream Widget’ kinda sucks and does not display or animate correctly.
The homepage I am developing is very similar to this WP theme http://themefuse.com/demo/html/Envision/blue/index.html (I’d like the activity stream to display where it says “Welcome to Envision, the interactive agency!”, under the slider)
Thanks

If you look in the code, you can easily copy that code chunk to place it wherever you want really with some style tweaks of course.
August 23rd, 2011 on 4:19 pm
Anyway to embed this into the top BP admin bar or create a page with only this on it to embed into a Wibiya Toolbar?
August 24th, 2011 on 1:55 am
There wouldn’t be much room to put it in the BP Admin Bar. But you could try. I don’t have much time to really dig into customized stuff right now. So many other projects.
Here is the basic code to display it though – http://pastebin.com/dkTbG4tk

Hi,
any chances to put in some memory, so that if user closes bar and goes to other page of the site, it won’t be opened again after refresh?
if it is completely impossible, can stream bar be closed by default?
thank you.
November 21st, 2011 on 3:54 pm
It’s something I can look into. But I have other projects that take priority right now.
January 11th, 2012 on 3:14 am
Just installed this on my site and love it. My only concern is that it shows up even when a user is not logged in (aka a visitor), how would I change the coding so it’s for logged in users only?
January 11th, 2012 on 1:41 pm
Try this – http://pastebin.com/bcL1vg4z
January 11th, 2012 on 2:46 pm
That did it! thank you!
July 22nd, 2012 on 6:17 pm
I too have a problem where the bar floats to the center of the page on iPhone/iPad. Any ideas? You mention BP Mobile CSS, but I do not find such a file. Thank you,
Fred
