  • What it does

    Timeline (module jrAction) shows activity: what a profile and the profiles it follows have done, such as new blog posts, uploads and status updates. Members can post short updates, mention others with @name, use #hashtags, and share items to their timeline. It comes with Jamroom.

    ACP > Modules > Profiles > Timeline

  • Using it

    • Updates: with Can Post Activity Updates, members post short updates from the top of their timeline.
    • Activity: creating or updating items adds an entry. With Add To Timeline Option, members choose that per item on its form.
    • Sharing: Quick Share and the Share To Timeline button (with Show on Detail Pages) let members share items to their followers.
    • Mentions: members are notified when they're mentioned, as they choose in their Notifications settings.
