You have two options:

1. Download this package for free (or go to github, grab the source, fork it, etc). Please note that support on the free package is very limited, especially for new features.
2. You can purchase a of the premium version which:
1. Comes with included commercial-level support, including features on request
2. Is released several months in advance of github or this package being updated

Concrete Wall provides an activity feed block for concrete5. This block can be configured to show two types of feeds:

1. Activity Feed. This type of feed can be placed anywhere on your site and lists the most recent activities of all site users. There are two pages you might consider adding this block to:
   1. Home page. All users (including anonymous users) can view this block. By placing it in a prominent position on your home page, and limiting the number of activities to a small number (e.g. 3 most recent activities), it demonstrates that your site is active, other users are doing things, and also provides a quick overview of fresh content.
   2. Login landing page. You might set up a special page to send users to after they've logged in (via the Login & Registration admin page). This page would include the same activity feed, but with a higher number of recent activities. This is similar in concept to The Facebook's feed when you log in.
      The main difference from Facebook is that activities from all users will be shown (not only from friends). When user accounts are used, concrete5 sites tend to be smaller, more community-oriented, and less likely to have the "friends" concept used.
2. Wall. This type of feed, when placed on a user's profile page, will show only that user's most recent activities.

All activities are generated when the user does something (e.g. create a blog entry); there is no facility for the user to post an update, image, or the like into their feed, though this might be added in the future and the feed would be a good place for it.

How it Works

A feed of the activities that users can do with this package wouldn't be very exciting.

This package provides a framework that other packages (or the core) can use to register types of postings (e.g. 'creating a blog entry') and add activities within those types (e.g. the instance of 'john posted Hello World yesterday'). It also provides a way for administrators to manage those posting types (enabling and disabling as described above) and a block to be added to pages that display the activities.

But there's a chicken and egg problem. Before this package can be compelling for users, it must be supported by developers of other add-ons such as blogs, forums, etc. That's why this developer preview has been released -- hopefully enough interest can be generated to provide value to the end-users. This package is essentially complete (with planned changes to the design and documentation) but an end-user would probably be disappointed in downloading this. See the Documentation page for more details.
