Description
imho, this module is paramount (along with buddylist) for implementation of a networking site of any kind on drupal6 - as much as users need OG or CCK or Views and so on - they also need buddylist and activity to keep track of site contacts and relationships...
at any rate, just wondering if *anybody* knows where buddylist and activity modules are headed for d6 and if there's any sort of timeline..not sure if activity module will follow buddylist for d6 (if and when it happens) or if they'll go out hand in hand...
any insights are appreciated. thanks
#1
Planning to port to D6 and looking for time ;) Sponsorship welcome.
I do not coordinate with buddylist very much though we're aware of eachother.
#2
um, what would sponsorship entail? will it include and resolve this patch - http://drupal.org/node/205746?
#3
I would help sponsor this module as well for Drupal 6 port! :)
The Buddylist module has not been updated in a while, and I'm not sure they're planning on porting to D6. Would Buddylist 2 be a viable option for the Activity module and Drupal 6?

@fayna - i think that the new "user relationships" should be the default model for this kind of thing, including hook into activity - it's much more robust in terms of features for users and other module devs...
#5
Hmmm... I wish they'd all combine forces and work on the ultimate buddy list module. :P Easier for us to pick these things!
#6
Buddylist2 relies on Views module which of course is not yet ported
to Drupal 6 so you have User relationships and Buddylist as candidates
for porting. User relationships is already ported but doesn't look like
Buddylist has much activity going on.
So if D6 is your target platform and you are looking for user relationship
type of modules I think User Relationships is your best bet at this
time not only for standalone use but also for integration with Activity.
#7
hmmm...any status on d6 progress for activity (and for use with user relationships module)? very eager to offer this resource to users, though not sure how far off a working version may be...
#8
I ported activity to D6 a week and a half ago or so but
ideally we would like to clean up the issue queue for D5
a bit more and make the D6 version better as a result.
If you have any thoughts on any of the issues in the
queue currently that you consider to be key for D6
please comment here or on those issues.

@jaydub - not sure, haven't been following closely enough...any chance you summarize a top 5 or top 10 for discussion?

Ha ! Just started porting to D6, this module not being ported is kind of a show-stopper for the moment.
I am hoping someone somewhere has the time to look into this module, as imho it is installed in just about every drupal 5 install I have seen.
I am able to offer support in the form of testing patches / submitting bug reports and maybe even fix a thing or 2, if need be, but I do not have the time to port the module itself, not in the near future anyways. Maybe in August, if no-one has picked up on the issue.

Any chance you could post what you have already to the D6 branch in CVS so we can start testing it and help move it along?

I wanted to try porting a module to Drupal 6 and I'm keen to see this one working, so... Attached is an initial patch (based on the DRUPAL-6--1 branch in CVS) to port activity module along with activitynode, activitycomment and activityhistory modules to Drupal 6. I have not attempted to port any of the other contrib modules at this point.
Known issues:
* duplicate activity rows are showing at times (observed with comment activity in particular)
* aid column is receiving inconsistent values, leading to clashes on row insert
#16
Another issue:
* activity feeds are not working
#17
Is it worth me putting more effort into porting this, or will there be a lot of changes made to the D5 branch still?
#18
Planning a lot of work to the D5 branch, but that should not stop us from porting. Features can be ported as we put them in D5.
#19
Attached is a port that now includes all of the contrib modules too. I'd appreciate if people could try this out and let me know any issues you come across.
#20
Updated patch attached, cleaning up some formatting and adding @file comments to each file to make coder module happy.
#21
Just a quick, probably simple, question! How do I apply this using cygwin? I know how to apply single patches against each other but not sure how to do this as the patches are all in one file. I tried the following command; patch -p0 < patchfile when in the root of the activity module but got a lot of errors saying "Hunk Failed at 1".
The answer is probably really simple, but I'm useless at understanding patching!
Thanks for any help.
#22
That same method should work I think. What version do you already have on your system that you are trying to patch against?
#23
I tried to patch against 5.x-3.0-beta2 but guess i might be using the wrong version?
Thanks for the quick reply.
#24
It looks like the version I patched against was a copy of the latest code from the DRUPAL-5--3 branch about 3 and a half months ago. It will probably need to be re-rolled against the beta.
