Instead of modifying a config file, would it be possible to add an options page? I’m sure Newbies would appreciate it.

Much to my surprise, long activity stream posts are not truncated after a predetermined amount of words thus showing an excerpt with a “read more” link, is this an omission by the development team?

If so, is there a workaround (patch or plugin) that would accomplish this?

Cheers!

Oops, I didn’t explain things properly.

What I’m looking for is a way to truncate Activity Wall posts with an excerpt and a read more link. Not a forum post shown on the Activity page…

What an oversight though, I entered a “Lorem Ipsum” Activity post of over 600 words and believe me, the post was one heck of a long one.

Should a ticket be issued for this? IMO, this should be core…

Then again, if a plugin could be created, end of problem.

Don’t bother, it isn’t fully functional with BuddyPress…

Hmm, you guys are right, long posts are not truncated after a certain number of words with a “read more” link (which IMO, is essential), is there any way to implement this?

I don’t know if it’s BP compatible though, keep us posted.

Thanks @mercime

Works like a charm!

Thanks @mercime

That lessened the indentation between nested replies but there’s still a +/- 10px indent after each one of them.

At least, it looks a lot better now. 😀

I’d like to disable nested replies because everything is squished and looks shabby when there are multiple indented replies, Can that be done?

Thanks

Great, thanks for replying.

I might get blasted over this but I did search but to no avail on account of the apostrophe.

What I would like to accomplish is to change “What’s new ?” with “What’s on your mind?” (or something similar) in the activity post editor.

Thanks,
Gene

I believe that this is an oversight by the developers and there should be a setting for this, akin to WP’s nested comments options or simply turn nested comments off.

If someone knows how to turn it off or a snippet of code to limit nested comments, please feel free to share.

Thanks Paul,

Would anyone know of a snippet of code which could be inserted in my custom.php file which would accomplish this?

Is this a bug or can it be corrected?

Gene53 started the forum topic Any way to limit the number of nested comments in activity stream? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

Hi, Is there a way to control the number of nested comments in activity threads? I tested this out and if I keep on replying to nested comments, the indentation looks ridiculous after 5 replies. I’ve tried it up to 10 and if I try to reply to the last one, the text input box […]

@gregfielding I agree with everything you wrote on your plugin request post.

@brajesh Thanks for coming up with a solution.
