bbguildwow's guild-activity sync (#10, shipped in bbguildwow 2.1.0/2.1.1) writes to bb_news via wow_api::sync_guild_activity(), deduplicated by news_source/news_source_key, and it's confirmed working end-to-end on the live site. But nothing in bbguild core actually reads bb_news back — there's no portal module for it. portal/modules/ currently only has motd.php, recruitment.php, roster.php, statistics.php. The feed is write-only right now: data goes in, nothing shows it to guild members.
Describe the solution you'd like
A new portal/modules/activity_feed.php implementing module_interface (see portal/modules/module_interface.php), following the existing motd.php pattern (simplest current module — single get_template_center() query + template assign):
get_template_center(int $module_id): SELECT news_headline, news_message, news_date, bbcode_uid, bbcode_bitfield, bbcode_options, news_source FROM bb_news WHERE guild_id = ? ORDER BY news_id DESC LIMIT N, rendered through generate_text_for_display() per row (same pattern motd.php already uses), assigned as a template loop (e.g. PORTAL_ACTIVITY_ITEMS).- New
activity_feed_center.html template, list-style (headline + relative/formatted date), reasonable default row limit with pagination or a "view more" link if the guild has a long history.
- Register in
module_registry.php alongside the other four, with allowed columns matching the intended placement (center/top, since bb_news rows are short status-style entries similar to motd).
- ACP settings (
get_template_acp()) at minimum for row limit; consider a source filter (all / manual only / api only) since news_source already distinguishes admin-posted news from Battle.net-synced activity.
- Should work generically off
bb_news — not WoW-specific — since news_source/news_source_key were added as core columns precisely so any game plugin can feed this table the same way.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Leaving it write-only isn't really viable long-term — the whole point of #10 was surfacing recent guild activity to members, and right now that data is invisible.
Additional context
Confirmed live 2026-09-22: after the #387/#54 news_source_key VARCHAR(64)→VARCHAR(191) fix (bbguildwow 2.1.1), a manual "Sync Now" cleanly synced 1 guild's roster + activity with no errors. The write path is solid; only the read/display side is missing.
