Make activity stream the homepage?

[Ryan Thomas]

Hey guys,

I am really needing the activity stream to serve as my homepage.  Is there anyway to do this, kind of like how we can currently set Blogs, Pages, or Forums as the "default" app?  Can I do this for the activity stream page?

Thanks for the help.

Or better yet, anyway to make the status updates page the default page?  I tried to set it as the "default module" but nothing happened.

Hi Ryan Thomas,

And it's easy.

Create a page with the following:

1. "Use suite HTML wrapper - No"

2. "Page Wrapper - Custom Wrapper"

3. Content:

<iframe style="display:block; position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" src="http://your sait/activity/"  frameborder=0 ></iframe>

4. Open "Page Management -> Pages" and select "your new page.html" - Make default page for this fodler.

5. Smile contentedly...

​Was looking how to insert an iframe for the game, you just gave me the solution but I probably use suite HTML wrapper to preserve site navigation in place. Thx!

Test, validation html5 detected an error in the code.

Exact code:

<iframe style="display:block;border:none; position:absolute;top:;left:;width:100%;height:100%;" src="http://your sait/activity/"></iframe>

Hey @Adlago that works great and thanks for the help on this!  I did notice that there seems to be a slight delay when loading the page though.  anyway to avoid that with iframes or is that just something to live with when using this method?

Couldn't you use Marcher's app to load the activity stream into an IP.Content block?  Then you wouldn't have to deal with the limitations of an iframe.

Yes, if there is anyway to include the status feed or activity stream inside of a block, that would be awesome.  I really wish it was already included under "system" blocks.  This is the most disappointing omission from IP 4.0 in my opinion.

If anyone would developer a plugin or provide the code to put inside a custom block, I would be more than happy to compensate them of course!
