A sample feed
The ActivityFeed tag allows you to expose Wiki Activity-style recent changes anywhere on your community using simple wikitext.
Step by step
- Visit the page you'd like to embed the feed on and open it for editing.
- Add this wikitext to the page:
<activityfeed /> - Publish, and view your new activity feed.
Settings
By default, the activity feed shows essentially the same feed as WikiActivity. You can control certain elements of the feed by adding a few parameters:
size- Lets you set the number of items listed.
- For example,
<activityfeed size=3 />
hideimages, hidevideos, hidecategories, hidenewpages- Lets you hide images, video and categories from the feed by setting this value to true.
- For example,
<activityfeed hideimages=true />
exclude- Namespace to exclude - limit feed by removing unwanted namespaces (e.g. remove all blog posts). The space character in namespace names should be replaced with an underscore.
- For example,
<activityfeed exclude="main,user_blog_comment" />
style- Allows insertion of formatting directly into the top level of the tag.
- For example,
<activityfeed style="width:300px;" />
shortlist- Changes the list into the style of abbreviated user contributions list (one line; icon, name, short timestamp, diff icon) by setting this value to true. Shows content namespaces only.
- For example,
<activityfeed shortlist=true />
Putting several of these parameters together would give you a tag like this:
<activityfeed size=5 hideimages=true shortlist=true />
