The FriendFeed Activity Widget is a simple WordPress widget plugin that pulls your FriendFeed stream, pretties it up a bit and shares it with visitors to your blog. It’s essentially a lifestream plugin that requires just a few steps to set up.

Give it a look.

How about showing comments posted on FF discussions? I mean, twitter is supported but I'm leaning towards FF comments more and more. Or is this already possible and am I overlooking it?
BTW, great plugin, really :)

Thanks for a great widget…and to JON MOUNTJOY for the fix to my issue as well.

Is there a way to remove the MY FRIENDFEED PROFILE section from the bottom?

Thanks!

Sounds like FriendFeed is having API issues, or you may have a typo in your remote key.

That's odd, the Picasa web album links on your blog work just fine for me. Not sure why you'd be getting 404 errors.

I only seem to get “Your feed could not be retrieved at this time. Try again later.” pissing me off. Should I just wait?

Lot of thanks, Evan
Everyhings fine now, i create cash.dat and chmod it to 444
Once more, thank You for cool soft.

However, with Picassa whether the plug-in works improperly or these are the problems of Friend Feed. URL that is formed leads to the page 404.
You can see it at idcontent.com

The plugin died for me – I think because I have other plugins installed that use JSON. I fixed it by changing your
require_once(“JSON.php”);
to
if (!class_exists('Services_JSON')) require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/JSON.php');

The cache.dat file is located within your FriendFeed widget folder, i .e. /wp-content/plugins/friendfeed-activity-widget/. To fix this error you can either set /friendfeed-activity-widget to be writable or create /friendfeed-activity-widget/cache.dat and set that to be writable.

Thanks for the cool widget.

>Unable to write to cache file. Please ensure the cache.dat has proper write-access permissions.

Please, where is that file (cash.dat)??

Hey Pete,

Sounds like there's a configuration issue somewhere that's causing the wrong path to get reported for the CSS file. That tiling issue occurs if the CSS file isn't get loaded. Can you tell me the URL you're using the plugin at? Maybe I can help track down the cause.

I'm using Wordpress 2.5.1 and version 1.1.3 of your widget. Regardless of the wordpress theme I choose, the service's favicon tiles behind the status update (ie multilple tiny favicons as the background to the post). I would expect it, like shown on your site, to have one favicon per update. Any thoughts on what could be causing that?

IE7 and FF3.

Thanks
pete

Hi Evan et Dans,

Thanks for both your reply. Yups, that what I meant.

I will tried on my weblog tonight.

BTW, I like the comment rating up and down. It is fun, including the point allocated.

If you guys don't mind, where can I download that plugin.

Cools, thanks for the great work guys. Been lately, very busy with some conference.

Hey Dan,

Ah, I gotcha! Yup, there is a non-widgetized interface you can use to output anywhere in your theme. Just call friendfeed_activity(). I've heard a few reports that this method is buggy though, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work for you. I'll try to go through it and fix any issues in the next patch.

I think what Hazman means,is it possible to place a php tag anywhere in a site to to call the fuction. I for one never use widgets and hard code and stle accordingly. Is it poss to have a non widget version.
Cheers. It is exactly what I am looking for :-)
