New Actionstreams Wordpress Plugin released
Stephen Paul Weber released a new Actionstreams Wordpress Plugin today at the DiSo forums. You can see a live version powering the “My Lifestream” section to the right. Inspired largely by the MovableType Actionstreams plugin, this one is really fast, extensible and supports a wide range of services (I’m working with Stephen to add support for Tumblr, Google Reader and others that aren’t supported just yet)
Download:
- Download Actionstreams Wordpress Plugin from Stephen’s blog
- Download from DiSo (latest)
Installation steps:
- Download and unzip the file into
/wp-content/plugins - Activate the “Actionstream” plugin through the WP Plugins admin page
- Go to Users > Action Stream and set up your services with the needed info
- As you add services, you should start to see actions in the Preview section
- Add
<?php actionstream_render(); ?>where ever you want to display it in your template
Updates:
- Mar 9, 2008: Mark Krynsky over at Lifestream Blog had the scoop even before I could finish hacking it up.
- Mar 10, 2008: Stephen updated the code (bugfixes and more services now supported). Download v0.11
- Mar 11, 2008: Stephen blogged about the plugin. Download here.
- Mar 18, 2008: Stephen released v0.2 of the plugin. Download here.

I get an error when i install the plugin and then get into users->actionstream:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.filofax/newdisco/dubo.cl/wp-content/plugins/diso-actionstream/actionstream.php on line 283
any idea?
and how can i put the lifestream on the template? is there some kind of function or something?
thank you

@dubó Good catch on that error. There should be a sanity check for a non-empty Actionstream.
To add the Actionstream to the template, you can use the function
actionstream_render()with optional user id and number of events.e.g.:
actionstream_render(); // default user id and 10 posts
actionstream_render(1,25); // admin user id 1 and 25 posts

The ‘download from DiSo’ link is dead, I removed the file since it was a pre-wordpress iteration of the code.

Thanks Stephen. I’ve updated the download links.

This was just what i was looking for an uncluttered and color free WP plugin solution, I hope i can integrate it into my theme somewhere.
What does import list from another service do? Also will a facebook service ever be introduced? something to show a status change (lame i know but its what the kids want)
Many thanks.
Mark.

Mark: Currently Facebook doesn’t have a non-authenticated feed for grabbing status changes. I’m pretty sure it can be integrated as soon as they provide it
I didn’t quite understand your question about the import list?
