documentation needed

I will get to you about all of that, i am writing a blog post, but it takes time as you can imagine. It is usable for me, because i added it to a big site, but i fully understand lots of documentation is needed here.
The magic is done by a combination of the way messages are reformed and rebuild but especially the rules module.
Rules itself is easy to do, but it took me some time to understand all. for instance the events, conditions and actions a webmaster sees in his site can be produced by every contribute, including heartbeat. It just takes some time to figure it all out. I say this because a couple of questions you ask me, are in fact thing that the rules module does.
heartbeat is based on rules by implementing a dumb a logger as action, triggered on events that involve user activity (comes from core and other contributes, such as og and friendlist)

Documentation will come ... be patient and thanks for the overview. It is good for me to see what others make of it.

Thanks a lot for this new tool.
Though I have not tested yet on actual server, it will be nice if you include in documentation ( when you have time, this is a low priority request ) two things :

- how it can be integrated with APK http://drupal.org/project/advanced_profile
- how it differs featurewise or resource-consumptionwise from 'Activity' http://drupal.org/project/activity

Hey,

@Igorik : http://drupalsix.onegana.be/page/faqs is for you for the moment. I will make this nicer later.
the things I did not mention seem to be bugs and i will look into that.

@minesota: the first module i don't know yet, and will look into that as well. The latter module, you will hae to try out yourself. Imo they work completely different and as you might guess, there is a reason why i built a module that already exists. I needed it and wanted to build it. It just is not the same thing.

Hi,

I will answer this all at the faq page http://drupalsix.onegana.be/page/faqs.
I close this ticket because there are two things here. A support request which I am working on, and a feature request for integration with other contribs where i am working on as well.

friendly regards

this is too outdated and links are not correct anymore. However documentation is till coming

Can you close this when the "documentation" link on the project page is working? Right now it's a "page not found".

My Question: I enabled the "Heartbeat activity" module, but I'm not getting anything saved into my heartbeat_activity table when I create or edit nodes. Do I need to write my own integration to get this module to work with core? Or should Rules be a required dependency?

Thanks!

i changed the link for documentation.

What you said is correct. Heartbeat is an API and you have to write your own loggings based on events. However it's possible with the rules module to define your events and trigger heartbeat logging your self. So this is certainly not a dependency for heartbeat, but with the submodule heartbeat_rules. Enabling that one with rules will give you what you want. It's very customizable both ways.

When you want to code it yourself, you can take some code from heartbeat_example submodule , which logs page additions in the example of the nodeapi.
