Thanks Matt for the plugin. Good idea. I first set the number of items to be displayed to 5 and then reduced the number to 1. But it kept displaying more than one. Could there be a issue there? Also how often is the view refreshed (every time you manually refresh the page or)? regs.

this is very helpful as there are object types that  don't have widgets that work, for example, with widget manager. and this one does.. so i can display content that didn't have a widget..

one issue i am seeing is that when i use this widget for groups, the objects that are displayed are not specifically for that group. 

an additional 'nice to have' is footer links - for 'view more' or 'add more' that are relative to the object type that is chosen for the widget - which could perhaps be done by adding a field to store an 'add path' to the widget.. 
this could be an omni-widget maybe? i don't know why this is not already in the core.

thumbs up :)
 

Thanks Matt, Your Plugins are great and on the pointl! Also a big thx to the Athabasca University for their opensource mind.

Thanks everyone.

@iso - You are correct, there is a bug if you select to display only 1 item.  Thanks for the report, it will be fixed.

@ura - the widget isn't intended to be group-specific.  The intent is to provide a window of surreptitious discovery of content from throughout the site.  Users tend to bubble themselves to specific feeds and friends, this is to promote other areas of exploration.

i see ok.. cyberspace is open for an omniwidget for groups. :)

Sounds good plugin, but no screen shots or demo that's why I just don't understand what is this all about?

Which content this plugin shows? Where on the site etc?

Would appreciate if get more info or a demo, then after that I would like to see if that is useful for me or not :)

Kindest Regards
