JSON

I ran the patch and got this:

patching file activity.module
Hunk #1 succeeded at 60 (offset 9 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 81.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 569 (offset 51 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file activity.module.rej

I installed the most recent and tried the above code and couldn't get it to work, maybe I did it wrong. I'll try again. Is it possible to get views to run spy.js?

I have 5.x-3.x-dev dated 3-20-08. This is what I did and it shows the activities but it doesn't seem to do the jquery spy fade in thing:

1. put the php function in template.php
2. created a new folder in garland theme called js
3. created a file in js folder called spy.js with the above txt file.

Do you have a working example? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I also don't know what /activity/all/json is pointing to...

Thanks!

This is really cool, can't wait to get this implemented on my site. I suggest expanding on this to add a more a more visually pleasing interface, such as:

Their use of action icons, avatars, and thumnbails ties things together well

In case this might help someone else:

I am using the following function in template.php:

function phptemplate_activity_page($activities, $table) {
  if (drupal_get_normal_path($_GET['q']) == 'activity/all') {
    drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'YOURTHEMEDIR') .'/js/spy.js', 'theme');
    drupal_add_js("
      $(document).ready(function() {
        $('table tbody').spy({
          'ajax': '/activity/all/json',
          'push': custom_push,
          'method': 'json',
          'limit': 1,
          'timeout': 5000,
	  'fadeLast': 3,
	  'fadeInSpeed': '1400'
          });
      });
      function custom_push(response) {
        eval(\"var json = \" + response); // convert to JSON
        var html = '<tr class=\"even\"><td>' + json.date + '</td><td>' + json.message + '</td></tr>';
        $('table tbody').prepend(html);
      }",
    'inline');
  }
    return $table;
  
}

This checks that the path equals /activity/all before it includes the JS for JSON real-time updates to the activity table. I ran into problems with the when using Activity on my user profile pages too - the old function would try to update all activity tables site-wide. This new function allows you to have 'my activity' on the profile pages, and the 'all activity' page refresh via JSON updates.

.

Any idea why this wont work on Drupal6? The source shows that the spy.js and the script itself are correctly being added to the activity/all (not a template.php issue), but nothing is updating.

I too am having problems with D6 and spy.js... Has anyone managed to get this working?

The spy.js script displays the same action twice if a new action has not been performed. Is there a way to prevent updates unless its a new entry?
