Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Square Wheels Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I set Activity Stream so that no one can see it and I disabled it, but it still displays in the More drop down. If I click it I see:The page you are trying to access is not available for your account. To configure who can access which areas of your site, go to Admin CP → System → Applications.I logged in as another regular member and see this:The page you are trying to access is not available for your account.Error code: 2S100/2 How do I remove it from the menu?
Jim M Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 There has been some internal discussion on this. I have a bug report on it as I actually have another case too, please feel free to follow: http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/406-items-under-more-menu-show-up-still-if-disablednothing-there-r6028/

Management Charles Posted May 21, 2015 Management Posted May 21, 2015 Just curious: why would you want to remove a tool that lets people see what's happening on the site?
Square Wheels Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Just curious: why would you want to remove a tool that lets people see what's happening on the site?This is something that seems to have been added that wasn't asked for. At least that's what I see from reading posts here.No one uses it on my site, we all use New Content.I'm trying to remove anything that we don't use to help keep it running well.
opentype Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Same here. It’s just another New Content page hidden in a menu. I don’t need it and would like to deactivate it completely. (At best without manual template edits)
NewRockRabbit Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 No one uses it on my site, we all use New Content.I agree that the Activity Stream is not particularly useful particularly as its buried in the More Menu. However at the moment it is the only way that Guests can see current activity on your site as New Content (for reasons I can not understand) is not visible to Guests, unlike in 3.4.
theblackelk Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Actually, as I recall this was added specifically because a lot of people asked for it.
Square Wheels Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Regardless of our perceived value of the tool, I suspect it is not working as designed. If we choose to deactivate it (thank you for giving us that option), then it seems odd that it would be in the menu only to give you an error message when clicked.Actually, as I recall this was added specifically because a lot of people asked for it.If that's true, then I stand corrected.
AutoItScript Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Just curious: why would you want to remove a tool that lets people see what's happening on the site?Because it's a mysql/MyISAM killer on a big site. If you do Activity Stream -> Posts the topics table is locked for however long it takes (minutes on some sites, it's even 10+ seconds on this site which I imagine is nicely specced out).
Lab Rats Rule Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The activity stream is the best addition to 4.0. We have fast moving posts updated minutes apart at some times during the day, and need this. I want another in a side block with a predetermined data set.
h-y-b-r-i-d Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 A lot of ppl did ask, but it was rushed and implemented badly. It could be mistaken for the view new content feature. It's very very similar, I'm not really sure what the difference are. An activity stream is more about how you display the content than the content itself. As a side note cKeditor on mobile makes me want to kill myself.
chilihead Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Can someone explain the difference? I'm not sure what it is and it is not explained in the IPS Tour of Content Discovery, only NC is.
