Extension:RecentActivity

The RecentActivity extension allows the generation of lists of recently created articles or recent edits either by anyone, or by a specific user. By default it will give five results ordered by most recent first in a bullet list format. Here's some example usage:

Installation
(Make sure there's a semicolon at the end of that line)
 * 1) Grab the piece of code shown below and save it in a text editor as RecentActivity.php
 * 2) Upload the RecentActivity.php file in your extensions directory using your ftp client.
 * 3) Place the following text in your LocalSettings.php file: require_once("extensions/RecentActivity.php");

Usage

 * Show the last five articles that have been edited


 * Show the last five articles that have been created


 * Show the last five articles that have been created by user Foo


 * Show the last ten articles that have been edited


 * Show the last five articles that have been edited, each preceded by two asterisks (useful for putting in treeviews)

Exclusions
Articles that are members of the Excluded from RecentActivity category will not be shown in the list. The category used to exclude articles can be set in the $wgRecentActivityExclusionsCat configuration variable.
