Hi,

I am using drupal commons and FBSS module

On the dashboard page (which use Homebox module and display only blocks), I d like to add the block "recent status" and display it with the status form above.

What is the best and simplest way to do that ?

Regards,

Use the "Facebook-style Statuses" block, which displays the status update form, and edit its settings. There should be a setting called "Show a view on this block" where you should be able to set facebook_status_recent as the view being shown. Then the block will show the status update form with the facebook_status_recent view, and when you save a status the view will update automatically via AJAX.

Thanks, it works,

At least for me.

However, maybe I am wrong, but it seems not possible to have both this block displayed with "personnal status" view on user profils and with "all recent status" view on the dashboard.

It may be useful for people that want (like on facebook), their users to be able to update their status both from their dashboard/home page and from their profil. On twitter, a user can only update his status from his home page. This is the configuration I prefer personnaly. So that why it works for me. But maybe others prefer to have the form both displayed on profil and dashboard/home.

Anyway thanks for your quick answer.

Administrators can set their home page to /share-status if they want a page with the facebook_status_recent view (or any other view of their choice, based on the setting at admin/settings/facebook_status). Alternatively they can use Panels which has its own version of the block that can be given separate settings per instance.
