Activity Stream Design Layout

    Here is a challenge … Many sites are using the activity stream on the front page of their site. What if the front page of a BP enabled site groups the activity stream into “conversations.” This provides an opportunity for the designer to display the conversations on a front page similar to Adobe TV:

    http://tv.adobe.com/channel/recently-added/

    The conversation starter’s avatar is displayed next to the box for the conversation. The link takes the visitor / member to the conversation.

    Just a thought.

    The activity stream already groups conversations. The items are simply being displayed in a single column.
    Modifying the display can be achieved through css.

    If you want to want to play around with it to mimic what you see on tv.adobe.com, start by adding the following to “ul.activity-list li”
    float:left;
    width:300px;
    height:200px;

    Then work on the inner nested divs to get stuff looking awesome!
    Before making actual changes to your style.css file, use the Firebug for Firefox addon to play around and test. It helps zero in on what you want to change to achieve to effect you’re looking for.

    Thank you and good to know.

    CSS is not my “thing” so maybe this could be done in a test installation using Dreamweaver. Since XAMPP is installed on a machine, maybe it’s time to fire it up and tinker with the /activity folder in a child theme. Unless someone else comes along and says “Ooo, good idea.” Hehe.
