@insuusvenerati I tried multiple plugins and none of the are showing up. I am activating them after install.
Activity Stream plugin?
-
Does anyone know of a plugin for displaying a 'real-time' activity stream? Basically, a stream of current posts (truncated) in reverse chronological order.
-
/recent?
But that said, a stream of recent posts wouldn't necessarily make sense if only because you don't have the context of the thread...

Yes, kind of like the listings of latest post for each topic in the /recents view except as a stream of events. I've found it useful in the past as a means of discovering interesting conversations/topics.

hmm, I guess it comes when you search 'nothing' in posts and sorted by post time in descending order, you see the list...
it did not make much sense here, but I guess if you have a forum with very diverse topics? in such a case, I see that you might be discovering interesting posts...
previously, @baris made this plugin to show "the most useful posts" in the forum:
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-best-posts
Although it is not what you asked for, it has been useful for our forum. maybe you can find it useful...
-
additionally, I forgot to add the feed plugin... This shows the posts from users you follow...
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-feed
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15404/nodebb-plugin-feed-nodebb-feed-plugin/
In case you might find it useful for your purpose...

That's quite a clever solution

I think we'll probably have to create a plugin. The idea is to show a real-time scrolling list of conversations so users can get a feel for active and interesting topics that they might want to participate in. I like to think of it is arriving at a party and being able to listen in on the various conversations in the room to see what topics grab your interest...
The solutions suggested above would work, but the 'real-time scrolling view' is a key requirement and hopefully is achievable through the socket.io interface. I imagine filtering for the permissioned topics might be a challenge though. -

lol, actually I was thinking out loud
just to see what it will show... sometimes, this helps to get inspiration. But in this case, I do not think our forum can get benefit from such a plugin, I believe @razibal has a very active and diverse forum, in such a case, this page might be beneficial. We have these alternatives with a similar purpose:/best-posts
/feed
/recentBy the way, @julian does registered users have an explicit group/group page? Because groups also show the posts by group members. Maybe @razibal can consider this.
