README

An Activity tab on every member's profile, the way traditional forums have always had one: everything they've done, newest first.

A member's activity: a best answer and a like today, a reply yesterday, and earlier replies, each with its discussion and an excerpt

The feed shows:

  • Discussions they started
  • Their replies, with the first few lines of what they wrote
  • Posts they liked, with Flarum Likes
  • Best answers, with FoF Best Answer
  • Badges they earned, in each badge's own colours, with FoF Badges
  • When they joined, as the last line

Items are grouped by day (Today, Yesterday, then the date). A Load more button at the end fetches the next page.

Filters

Chips at the top narrow the feed to one kind of activity. A chip only appears when that kind can show up on the forum.

On a phone the chips scroll sideways in one row:

Privacy

Chronicle has no activity table of its own. Every item is read from data the forum already keeps, so a member's whole history is there on the day you install it.

Each item is checked against what the person looking is allowed to see. A discussion in a restricted tag, a private discussion (FoF Byobu's included) or an unapproved post doesn't appear for anyone who couldn't open it anyway. Hidden posts and hidden discussions are left out for everyone.

Members can keep their likes to themselves with a switch under Settings → Privacy:

The "Show my likes in my activity" switch on the Privacy settings

Settings

Admin → Chronicle:

Chronicle's settings: a switch for each kind of activity

  • What appears: discussions, replies, likes, best answers, badges and the join date, each on or off
  • Permissions → View members' activity: everyone by default. Members can always see their own.

It uses your theme's own colours, so it fits the default theme, Bespoke and dark mode without styling.

Good to know

  • No extra load per item. Each page of 20 items takes one query per kind of activity, plus the discussions and authors they need, loaded together.
  • Paged by time, not by position. New activity arriving while someone reads doesn't shift the next page or repeat items.
  • Optional extensions stay optional. Likes, best answers and badges only appear when those extensions are installed and enabled.
  • An API for it. GET /api/chronicle/{userId} returns a page as JSON. Pass types=reply,like to filter, and the before and key values from the previous page's next to continue.
