Spy settings

Is there a way to control what Spy actually spies on? I mean it reports on bloody everything. I wouldn't be surprised if it reported me scratching my arse even. There seems to be no settings control in the module section.

No setting on that but you can do the following.  Go into your menu builder and take out the spy all tab and leave in spy friend.  This makes it to where the user can only see the spy items of their friends and not everyone on the site.

Nice one. Thank you!

Does anyone know how to show real names on the spy. When you post or reply or activity, instead of showing the nickname, I would like to show the real name. Alot of people don't know there friends by there nicknames. Can anyone help, are there any setting or code changing?

in : modules\boonex\spy\classes\BxSpyProfilesActivity.php

find these strings :

$sNickName      = getNickName($iRecipientId);

and replace :

$aProfileInfo = getProfileInfo($iRecipientId);
$sNickName      = $aProfileInfo['YouNeddedField'];

SashaE,

I tried this, but did not worked for me..

Did you replace this  $aProfileInfo['YouNeddedField']; ? :)

SashaE,

Yes, I replaced $aProfileInfo['YouNeddedField']  To $aProfileInfo['FirstName'];

but did not worked for me..

is there a way, that a user can decide, if his activities are shown or not shown on spy wall?

great tip mauricecano very much appreciated

You can also set in admin viewable to no one then hit save.

Yes it works ok on 7.03 to some point.  Sender ID and Recipient ID are not changed to reflect first name instead of nickname.

Once you edit the above code only new postings will change. I added first and last name with these lines;

$aProfileInfo = getProfileInfo($iRecipientId);
$sNickName      = $aProfileInfo['FirstName'].' '.$aProfileInfo['LastName'];

Any info on the rest of activities?

SashaE , what about sender`s nickname?

Could you help us with that?

Hello make the same changes like this:

find this code line -            $sSenderNickName = getNickName($iSenderId);

and replace with:

$aSenderInfo = $iSenderId ? getProfileInfo($iSenderId) : array();
$sSenderNickName = $aSenderInfo ? $aSenderInfo['FirstName'] . ' ' . $aSenderInfo['LastName'] : '';

Thank you SashaE , this is getting better and better.
