Monitor and display users activity (logins, new posts, new comments, etc.) in backend and frontend of WordPress. Not tested with WPMU (but should work).

== Description ==

This plugin logs registered users events in your blog and displays it in frontend and backend.

- connections
- new comments
- profile update
- new post
- post edition
- new link
- login failures (displayed only in admin panel)

Admin can use this plugin to monitor a multi-users blog activity without displaying it in frontend.
Users can see what other members do in the blog. Great for multi-users blogs or community blogs.

If enabled, user who don't want to be listed in blog activity can hide its own activity by checking a privacy option in the profile page. In that case, this user activity is not stored in database.

Users activity can be followed by RSS feed.

== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin and unzip,
2. Upload the wp-activity folder to your wp-content/plugins folder,
3. Activate the plugin through the Wordpress admin,
4. Go to `Settings > Wp-Activity` and set options.
5. Put `<?php act_stream() ?>` where you want the stream to be displayed, or use included widget.
6. Use `[ACT_STREAM]` to display activity in a page or post. See FAQ section for parameters.
7. If you renamed your wp-content directory and you want to use RSS feed, change `$wpcontentdir` var in wp-activity-feed.php

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I enable the user last logon on author or index page ? =

Use `<?php act_last_connect($author) ?>` in author.php template, or `<?php act_last_connect() ?>` in index page.

= How do I add user activity on it's author page ? =

Use `<?php act_stream_user($author) ?>` in author.php template

= How do I set the events number or the title when not using the widget ? =

this function accepts two parameters :
`<?php act_stream(number,title) ?>`

defaults are :

* number = 30
* title = Recent Activity (translated by .mo)

= Shortcode use =

`[ACT_STREAM]`

`[ACT_STREAM number="" title=""]`

defaults are :

* number = no limit
* title = Recent Activity (translated by .mo)

= How do I avoid erasing css tweaks when I update the plugin ? =

Just put a copy of wp-activity.css in your theme dir, it will be processed instead of the css file included with the plugin.

= How do I display all activity ? =

You must specify "-1" in number parameter. All activity stored in database will be returned.

= How do I Change the events generic icons ? =

Just change the icons in the /img directory, but keep the event name (example : to change the login/connect event icon, change the icon named CONNECT.png - names must be in capitals)

= I added a post and changed the author, and the activity logs have changed too. How could I disable this ? =

You will have to edit wp-activity.php, check line 33 and set `$strict_logs` to **true**.

= The RSS feed is not working =

If you renamed your wp-content directory, you have to change `$wpcontentdir` var in ../plugins/wp-activity/wp-activity-feed.php

= I edited a post but wp-activity logged POST_ADD instead of POST_EDIT =
That's because the post_add event for this post id was removed from the wp-activity database table. Wordpress doesn't have separate actions for adding or editing posts, so the plugin checks in it's table if there was a post creation with the same ID. If found, the plugin logs a post edition. But as the plugin clears old logs (see "Rows limit in database" setting), the post creation event can be previously deleted when the post edition occurs.

= I have a poor hosting, is your plugin a big fat resources consumer ? =
I also have a poor hosting, so I try to keep my plugin as light as I can. But as I am a poor coder, I'm not sure that WP-Activity is the best optimized plugin in the World...

= Do you really test your plugin before publishing new versions at the Wordpress Plugin Repository ? =

Hum. I'm testing it on a single Wordpress installation, so it can't really be called "test". That's why there is often updates that just fix the previous ones... Sorry for that.
