Are There Any Plans On Integrating Other DBT Mods in Forum Live Feed?

As the title indicates. I am wondering if there are any plans in the works. It would be nice to have classifieds and reviews integrated. I think I could make use of this mod if they were.

Do you mean the vBActivity product?

We don't have any immediate plans, but we're always looking at ways of making our products work better together :)
 
I am such an idiot! I meant to type Forum Live Feed & User Wall. I was thinking one thing and typed another. I am trying to increase activity and I think my members are becoming facebook and twitter spoiled. I have a feeling they like all new content in one page but I would need my whole site to be added to the wall and reviews and classifieds are a big part of the site.
 
To be honest, Live Wall is a bit of a resource hog as it is just now. In order to start mass-adding content to it, I need to simplify the way it retrieves and displays content from other mods.


Thinking out loud here so that design notes aren't lost over time:
* DB table for content types with latest content entry (ID or dateline?) in an index
- Store sprintf() format for building links to the content, else content is not linked when displayed
- Phrase to use for displaying the content, else a standard "<username> added a new <content type title>: <content title>" is used
- Content type files akin to Raffle's Prize Type files to allow content types to customise their output with a new template, etc

* Content fetching scheduled task that fetches new content every X minutes (admin settable, 1min minimum) by checking for content newer than the entry in the content type table
- Insert a standardised form of the content (i.e. content ID, content title, user ID) in a "dbtech_livewall_entry" DB table to simplify permission/privacy checks
- Admin option: Validate Content, adds a JOIN back to the content's source so that this content doesn't display if the content has been deleted, and any title changes are picked up thusly
