Activity Content not showing on layout

marfin

Hi, I have developed a software that creates new activities by inserting data into the 'community_activities' table. Everything works fine, except that the text inside the column 'content' is never being showed in the frontend / stream. I can only see title. Any hints on this? Thanks!

Hi
Sorry its hard to say what can be issue as this is not from the extension side and custom extension you developed on it. You need to contact to developer who built this, We do not suggest core hacks inside JomSocial as this make issue as well during update of the extension. If you planning to built a plugin just make sure the type of plugin is community.
This doc may help you to know more about making custom plugin : https://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Plugin_Tutorials

Hi! I am the developer)). Anyway I followed your activity stream API guide. Just to be clear, If I use the frontend to post something on my activity stream, the problem is the same: I mean, I can only write 400 chars limit for the title. Where is the content?

You can change it from Configurations > Site > Status > http://prntscr.com/u5hnad

Hi!
I don't need to increase the title lenght. My question is: how to show the content?

Hi
I am not sure which content you refer, You need to post via post box and content will show. If its a custom extension. i am afraid its something not under scope of support as the text you want to add is not from the JomSocial.

Ok, forget custom extension. On the frontpage, if I post an activity, everything you write goes into the 'title' field. What about the 'content' field? your documentation reference: https://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Stream_API_v2#Activity_Content

Ok guys, I write this last reply to eventually help anyone interested in this matter. After 3 days of silly replies and a premium ticket, I managed to understand that the 'content' field is being rendered on the frontend only if you use a different name (whatever) in the 'app' field. Easy 🙂

Hi
The ticket has been shared with dev team member already, Support is limited for the issue related to our products issues, that why i request you to share the details of custom extension.
Anyway glad to know you found the way to built custom extension 🙂
