Hi All,
I searched around the forums to see if this was possible and couldnt find anything on it. So basically what Im getting at is I would like to see/know how to make it only ever have one feed node. So if you imagine this running on a page with hundreds of users then youll have thousands of extra nodes. Would it be possible that each time a new update comes through it replaces the previous one (or 5 or whatever the pre determined amount were) that way each user only has 1 or so nodes of feed data. Thanks in advanced... look forward to all your thoughts.

Cheers

Replacing existing nodes with different content isn't something I'd recommend. Search indexes, inbound links, and the like will all end up pointing to content that's different from what it's supposed to be.

What's the reason you're trying to limit the number of nodes? You're importing content into your site -- it's got to go somewhere.

The reason for this is that Im going to remove the link to the actual node anyway i.e. Clint is testing ActivityStream. 5:40am# will be replaced with Clint is testing ActivityStream. 5:40am. On a social page I want it to simply give one entry as to what there doing if you look at there profile page. I dont want to be able to search these details go to a sperate page etc etc. Adding all these extra nodes for this is just adding extra fat to this page. Hope that made some sense.
Cheers

This probably isn't the module for you then. The goal of the module is to build a lifestream of everything you're doing around the web and bring it into Drupal. Sort of like the Facebook minifeed or Friend Feed.

What you want to do is simply show the most recent tweet from Twitter or photo from Flickr. While Activity Stream *can* do that, it also does all the other stuff that you don't want. Changing this behavior would make Activity Stream a whole different animal.

FYI, if you simply don't want the nodes appearing in search, you can use the search block module to prevent search from indexing certain items, including blocking all items of a given content type. It works quite well.
