Mobile Version's Newsfeed | Forum

Mobile's newsfeed and desktop's newsfeed are different. Desktop's newsfeed shows everything. But mobile one's showing only friend's and following people's content. I want to see everything on mobile's newsfeed, just like as desktop. Is this possible? If it costs something, or if it's possible with a plugin, I can pay for that.

I also have this Problem, mobile Newsfeed is like the Newsfeed of the Desktop-Dashboard-Page. But for my site the complete Newsfeed (like on Desktop-Index-Page) would be much better to have. I hope there will be an update at some time.

Mobile newsfeed shows activity of your friends only. Like one in the Dashboard.
To do what you're trying to achieve is considered as a custom code modification.

I think I found a solution.
You have to edit feed.php in ow_plugins/newsfeed/mobile/controllers/
Make the following change:
Replace
$feed = new NEWSFEED_MCMP_Feed(new NEWSFEED_CLASS_UserDriver(), 'my', OW::getUser()->getId());
with
$feed = new NEWSFEED_MCMP_Feed(new NEWSFEED_CLASS_SiteDriver(), 'site', OW::getUser()->getId());
and upload it. I don't use friends plugin, so I don't konw if it also works if you have installed it. But mobile Newsfeed should now also show things from people you don't follow and look like the Newsfeed on Index/Main page. Maybe you should test it on a local server first. I hope this also works on your oxwall sites.

I think it didn't work for me. I have replaced the code. And update the plugin. But it doesn't make any change. Is it just me?

This is a custom code modification, so if you update the plugin every plugin-file will be overwritten. To change the code, should not cause an update request. So download the actual feed.php again, change it, and upload it, now it should work (you just have to refresh the mobile Newsfeed in your Browser).
Note: You have to change code again, after the next update of the Newsfeed plugin.

Guys, we strongly recommend not to modify the core files since it will lead to the changes loss if you decide to update your core files.
The mobile Newsfeed was designed from the Dashboard Newsfeed component and we believe that this is not a good idea to change this functionality since this is quite complicated modification which will affect a lot of functionality and you will not be able to perform the core updates anymore.
Also, we cannot guarantee that all the feed items will show up correctly on both Desktop and mobile versions.
The best solution in this case is to create an additional plugin, which will add the newsfeed component from the Index page to the mobile version, like it works for the Dashboard newsfeed.
