Is it possible to add support for 'dodge' activity in the form that it shows the dodge updates of buddies?

Also does the contrib buddylistactivity currently support 'buddylist2' or does that require a seperate contrib? If so, will that be supported in the future as many of us are moving to buddylist 2.

Thanks and a great job and developing this module...

I'm not familiar with 'dodge'. Please enlighten me.

Buddylist 2 is not currently supported and would require a new contrib. Patches welcome.

Hi sirkitree, I'm definitly hoping we can get a patch for buddylist2. I'm no expert, but I would think it wouldn't be hard to reconfigure the current buddylist contrib. I've requested a look over the code at the author of buddylist2.

Dodge is a twitter like module for drupal. It allows micro blogging and is great for simple status updates you see at myspace/facebook kinda sites. It already has blocks available for 'popular dodges/recent dodges/my dodges' and the like, but having it feed through activity would make so much more sense, since I really see activity as a summary of all user activity and has the potential to be very powerful if many contrib would be available at its disposal.

Personally I don't know how popular dodge is, I'm quite new at drupal. I guess if you haven't even heard of it chances are small it will be realized. Still I'm already happy at what Activity is currently supporting. Time will tell.

Keep up the good work.

Cool, I'll look into dodge. I've a request to get twitters in here too, so this sounds similar. I need to write up a tutorial on how to write these activity contrib modules I guess.

Just to note, I'm not looking to update buddylistactivity to work with buddylist2, this would have to be a whole new activity contrib, something like buddylist2activity.module. There are quite a few people who don't want to use buddylist 2 because of more required dependencies.

I took it upon myself to study some of the contrib code. It seemed altering the buddylistactivity.module was much easier than expected. I'm currently testing it and will post a patch here if everything works good.

I'm attaching the patch here...I've done some updating and most things seem to work. What doesn't work is when users become friends it doesn't show this in the block for "My buddies' activity". Now on my test site it also doesn't seem to work the regular buddylistactivity.module, so maybe I'm doing something wrong elsewhere. Can somebody please test this contrib module for BL2 and post result here? I think everything is in order, but I'm not getting why I don't see 'userX added userY' in the block for "My buddies' activity".

Kind regards,

Marius

If you are willing to try out the new 5.4 branch of activity - from a fresh install
as there is no upgrade path written, you can try out integration
with buddylist2.

I have not been able to test extensively as buddylist2 uses the usernode
module for the buddylist2 ui module and I haven't used usernode at all.

The 6.x version of the buddylist2 module is not far enough along to be used at
this point.
