The Network macro displays a list of Network activity for users in your Confluence site, on a Confluence page or blog post.

The Network macro allows you to specify the user whose network activity you wish to show. These interactions include the users that the specified user is following or users who are following the specified user. The Network macro shows each listed user by their profile picture. It also provides a choice of two themes and the ability to limit the number of users in the list.

    any plans to add an "order" parameter ?

    e.g.
    order=latest_update = display follower/followees who have had the most recent activities
    order=add = order by date of follower/followe selection
    order=alpha = alpabetic order

    Hello,

    I'm trying to get the list of the users I'm following within confluence ... I would like to show the recently-updated macro with the correct author list in a personal page ... This functionality is available when I'm viewing my profile ... but I would make it available on some regular pages.

    any way to do this ? I didn't find any supplier for that to use it in a reporting macro. I don't even understand where this information is stored within confluence.

    Thanks

    Charles
