  • And where's your Lifestream page?
  • Nice Plugin. I´m going to test it. Does it support twitterupdates?

    BTW: I´m looking for a plugin that embeds a jabberwacky chatbot or different kind of chatbot in the sidebar for a wordpress system. Maybe widgetized. The important thing is, that this chatbot should be teachable by his users. Something like Prelude or A.L.I.C.E would be great. Any idea?
  • it would be nice to install and use lifestream as easy as sidebar widgets
  • Hi Elliot,

    do you know how i can run the script under php4?
    I like your option to cache the feeds.
    My problem is that i´m a php noob.

    Thank you,

    Flo

    Just go into that file "common.php" and then edit the last line of the function "Refresh" (line 242) by putting a single tick ( ' ) after the facebook id and before the round parentheses )
  • Oops, I guess I was a bit careless in stripping out some private info, passwords and the like. Well, I will update this sometime in the near future and fix that, as well as refactor a few things.
  • Hi Elliott,

    Any chance you will be updating the plugin soon? Have you considered using API's instead of feeds when available? Also some archiving or pagination would be good too...your stream is pretty large and the page takes quite a while to load. I look forward to seeing where you take this next. I think this concept can really take off soon.

  • I like the idea of a lifestream and tried the plugin but I am struggling how this appears on a page? What is the URL I need to use?
  • Yeah, there's a chance of an update soon. I just got back from London so give me a while. I need to update this, do some work on another site, and some work on WP Autoblog.
  • Trial that Thank you.
  • hey elliot, thanks for publishing this to the community.
    I wonder though why I am getting a blank page. the css is inserted correctly. I changed all instances where my personal information had to be inserted, also I added a ' in common.php, it caused an error.

    any idea?
    thanks a lot!
  • oh basically I tried changing the cron job to "now" and it started to fill up the page. but only with wordpress posts.

    when I got it set to hourly, I get

    SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
    Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0
    --

    also none of the flickr etc. displays, I'd really like to give your code a shot, so if you find some time to update things, I'd appreciate that loads!
  • any news elliott?
    I am looking forward towards some testing :)
  • Hey elliot
    thanks for this. i did all as per your list. even added flickr. also setup a page called 'lifestream'

    www.yehmanas.com/lifestream/

    but its all missing. what do i do to get this up and running?
  • sorry

    got the page template up. but i get this error

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in lib/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 17
  • shoot.

    i only have php4, i think thats the issue.
  • sorry for the comments back to back.

    figured it out. turned off facebook source and it works. hopefully there will be a php4 version soon.

    thank you.
  • I am using a different lifestream now, but thanks for contacting me back then in march elliott!!
  • thank you for your work, all works deserves a thank you
  • Wow, well, this plugin ended up being way too complicated for me. I'm not sure how anyone has gotten it to work, but hey more power to you if you did get it to work. I guess I'm confused because this isn't really a plugin. It's more of a hack or work-around. Ah well, thanks, anyway!
  • I agree with Pete, it is indeed rather a nice little hack than a plugin... cool work anyway man! Visit my site sometime!

  • Hi,

    Elliot, I was interested in lifestreaming, and i found your app.

    However, it was a little frustrating to get to grips with, so I hacked together my own.... taking inspiration from your idea but using SimplePie.

    Its now hit fully fledged plugin status, with admin options page etc, and WYSIWYG feed styling etc.

    Cheers for the inspiration :)

  • thanks your plugin
  • Cool plugin! I can't wait to try this!

    BTW, why have you not included your own lifestream page? I would like to see a demo page.
  • Great plugin, I've been using it for some time and only have one request.

    Is there any way to put the icons on a transparent background? I dont have "white" as the bg color for my content section, therefore I have these icons with a white background on my page.
  • sorry for the comments back to back.

    figured it out. turned off facebook source and it works. hopefully there will be a php4 version soon.
