apparently we never released this on the community so here you go ;) Have fun
thanks! has this been tested with river_addon or other plugins that update the river via ajax update?
Since we installed this last year the rate of Wire postings on our site has more than doubled. This is a really great tool, and most of its many features (especially access control and group wire) should be in the core.
The one thing that I can think of that would improve it still further would be integrated URL shortening - I see that's on the todo list. Is any work planned on that?
@Jon Dron. I think there is a plugin galli short url try it.....
Hi folks,
This is great additional functionality for Elgg, really simplfying posting etc, but I have a question...
I have been trying to use the Containers plugin to assign container (namely a group of which a user is a number) to ANY post including wire. The idea is that the user post from their activity page/main page by the status update etc and from there can choose what container/group to post BUT cannot post without choosing a container.
With the wire enabled in groups now this should be possible but I cannot seem to do it (I am really not that experienced in Elgg/Php but am getting there.)
I appreciate any help at all - thank you all for your great work and community!

Hi!, Is there a way to post with public access the group wire posts?
I need group wire posts be visible to logged out users.
Thanks!
@Javier
No, group posts are only for group members. There are no plans to change/support this.
i notice that when i change the length of wire messages from 160 to 300, although the character count does show 300 initially in the 'add wire message' box in my site - as soon as i begin to type the wire message, the count drops to 159 and the 300 limit is ignored. anyone know why? is this a bug with the 1.8 version?
@jeabakker posts aren't showing in the wire widget, but they do show in activity... it's weird, do you have any idea why this happens?
