Data Browser truncates out Timeline profile id #s that i need

Using Jamroom

This is my last post on this- but wanted to say my mods are already listing various situations in which this little button will be useful and handy. Happy dance!

How do I remove items so they don't show in a profile "latest activity"

Using Jamroom

That would be cool....and amazing. But lots of work too, I imagine.

This is great- thank you SO MUCH Michael! My moderators and I have been wishing for a little main page activity feed delete button like this since Day 1. Yaaaay!! xox

Marking this SOLVED. :D

rename quota names so they appear in order you want (think: alphabetize / alphabetization)

This has me so inspired now.

Les, later on when you have time you may also want to look into installing the DB Backup & Restore module and opening an Amazon AWS 'bucket' account to do additional site backups on:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/22/db-and-system-backup

There's a good JR tutorial step by step ...and if I managed to do it somehow, anyone can.
That doesn't address your current scenario, but it's handy to setup for the future and gives more peace of mind.

Yes please, that's be great! I'd want it to be functional for both Master Admin and Profile Admins.

Hmm, one detail...since my moderators (profile admins) don't have access to clear the cache, I guess any item THEY delete from the timeline will remain seen until the cache updates itself?- which usually would take...how long? (hope im understanding this right). I am guessing there's no way around that really, right?
In any case it will be incredibly useful to me anyway, this delete button.

Michael, is the template you are altering in the skin then?

A delete button (for Admins) on the Home Page Timeline WOULD indeed be the better solution, Michael.

If it needed to be done by me using a custom code change, then I'd have to understand how to do that of course. Which i currently don't. ;D

Michael, my "Delete Timeline Entries" is functioning.
And yes it works and makes the timeline entries no longer appear once I DELETE the item from the site and then clear the cache.

But my larger problem is that I often use the Data Browser to remove items from the Home page Timeline WITHOUT deleting them from the site. I do this to prevent certain member actions from getting front page attention. Then the lack of seeing the profile_id # is a problem- to identify which comments or posts I want to delete ...from the Timeline only.
I do this when for example a member posts various things that might be off topic, too numerous or redundant- and I don't want 'all' of their items seen on the main page and getting so much attention- but they are not things I should necessarily be deleting from the site. Or say someone posts a person's private phone number...and I go in and edit that out for them, but everyone still sees the original post on the Timeline mention.
I just want to remove those mentions from being front and center on the main page Activity Feed...remove one particular one, or a few of them.

I guess if it's not an easy fix to see the databrowser entry better without truncating, then yes a Home/Index page Activity Feed (Timeline) Delete button for Admins and Profile Admins would do the trick.

If I may add-
Elise, you have pulled together a JR site in an astonishingly short length of time, as far as I can tell.
I wish I were as fast a learner as you seem to be!

There is a whole world of more JR tools and functions and options that you don't even know about yet- that you'll discover as you continue to run and tweak your site. It's probably too much for anyone to learn in a mere month no matter how much reading you do. On ning the features and options allowed were mostly decided for you already, and limited...so a ning site is indeed initially faster to throw together.

One morning you'll log in and realize you don't actually have any pressing questions or site code tweaks on your 'To Do' list for that day... days like that will then begin to happen more often.

Ok, so if you look in my screenshot and use the two examples of: Posts people have posted on my site forum ...and Comments they've posted on a youtube clip.
In either case:
I have deleted both the actual particular troublesome forum post by "bob" and the particular inappropriate comment "nancy" has posted on someone's YT clip.
But now I want to IMMEDIATELY remove the references to that post and that comment from my site MainHome page's Activity feed, before someone's feelings get hurt. I don't want to wait for the cache to take care of it.
The trouble is, in the databrowser under the Timeline feature, I can't tell which of the several posts and comments are the ones from Bob and Nancy- there's no marker that distinguishes their post or comment from the other members' posts and comments on the same item, and there's no EXCERPT from their post or comment that would tell me which one it is. When there are several posts in a discussion for example, the only way I'd have to know which is Bob's post is to look at the profile_id number in the databrowser...but it's truncated out in half the entries. So i then have to take a chance and hope Im deleting Bob's post from the Timeline showing on the main page and not some other member's post.
Sometimes it shows the first number or two of the profile id #... and it's darn frustrating. It's just a matter of not being able to expand my browser window to SEE the identifying profile number, or wrap the text or be able to search for the profile_id #, or provide a short excerpt of the comment or forum post like some of the other features give ...or some sort of solution?
