Activity feed - extra info in the top

Is it possible to add some personal message or information in the top of the activity feed of a profile?
I would like to have an editable message, that is different on every profile.



Please advice,
Patrick

Yup, had a pending ticket to output the activity tab description on profile. This is now implemented in latest CB Activity build release. So you'll be able to add whatever HTML and substitution supported message you like to the Activity tab in CB > Tab Management. This will display directly above the stream.

Thanks Krileon, that is good news!

In my case I would like to show some text, that is editable and different in every profile.
So maybe I should define a new textarea field in the personal info tab of the profile.
So the user can change his own text message.
Lets say it is called CB_ACTIVITY_TXT

How do I show that specific field in the top of the activity feed?

Thanks,

For per-user you'll have to use a field like you've discovered. Once you have the field created simply substitute it into the tab description and it'll display. See the below on how to use substitutions.

So for example you'd have the following as the Activity tab description.

[cb:userfield field="cb_activity_text" /]

If you only want this visible to the profile owner you can surround it with an IF condition as well. Example as follows.

[cb:if user_id="myid"][cb:userfield field="cb_activity_text" /][/cb:if]

Hi Krileon,

I followed your steps, but there is no text showing in the front end website. Not even the word 'Doelen'.

Ensure CB Activity is up to date. Have confirmed description outputs fine.
