I was somewhat irked that the profile page only showed topics started by a particular user..  I really wanted to show all recent posts by that user since most activity is in the form of replies, not new topics.  I was poking around in the profileviewtabs.config file and thought I'd try something..  It paid off, and I was able to show the recent posts from that user.  Here's how you do it:

1. Look for the section that has the "controlkey="topics".
2. A couple lines down, you will see a tag called "af:whatsnewcontrol"  
3. At the end of that line, after "filterbyuserid="[DNN:PROFILE:USERID]"", but before the closing of the tag,  add a space then "TopicsOnly="false""
4. Save the file and re-load the page.

I'm hoping to provide a link at the bottom of the forum search page that gets all the users posts soon..  I'd also like to add a timestamp on the posts..  I'll figure this out eventually...

Good idea Shad, thanks for sharing this.

Nice job, Shad! I can use this right away. Thanks!

Here's a template you can add directly to the profileviewtabs.config. Templating can be done by using the tokens available to the AF Whats New Module. So you can use dates, post count, etc. This is a custom template and I've not stripped out my css classes. But it does work.

See Attached Text Doc.

Does this still work? I tired it but gave me an error. Thanks.

I'm not getting an error, but I just get a blank page with the word GroupName.

I dropped the usage due to url issues. Haven't had a chance to get back to it yet.

It was working on my site, but now I am experiencing the same problem - blank page with GroupName.

I know that for me personally, the ability to see all replies and not just threads I started would be great. This seems especially applicable if a person is in a large number of groups on a site and posts to group discussions.

I like that. In addition, I would like to see the group/forum names right under each post instead of the user names. As I mentioned long time ago, I do not see the point of having the users name under each post when we are on that user's profile page.

Thanks for the consideration.
