Tracking user activity by role

subscribe

yes and when there is an editor team...the editor teams is always on the top 5, then its worthless for the normal users.

Yes, this is exactly the problem we have!

is this a support request or more a bug?

its a support request.

It could also be a feature request. If you open a support request, then it's probable the current maintainer will simply reply to you question, and not change the code, if such feature is not present.

The code implemented by the module doesn't allow you to filter the users the module consider by role.

I'm using a theme function to filter out high level users, based on whether they have "administer nodes" permission:

function mytheme_user_activity_list($users, $title = NULL) {
  if (!empty($users)) {
    foreach ($users as $user) {
      $user_obj = user_load($user->uid);
      if(!user_access('administer nodes',$user_obj)) {
        $items[] = theme('username', $user) . theme('user_activity_o_meter_small', $user->user_activity_index);
      }
    }
  }
  return theme('item_list', $items, $title);
}

You could also limit it to a particular role:

function mytheme_user_activity_list($users, $title = NULL) {
  if (!empty($users)) {
    foreach ($users as $user) {
      $user_obj = user_load($user->uid);
      if (in_array('Subscriber',$user_obj->roles)) {
        $items[] = theme('username', $user) . theme('user_activity_o_meter_small', $user->user_activity_index);
      }
    }
  }
  return theme('item_list', $items, $title);
}

Not ideal, but it might help someone. Just paste it into your theme's template.php file and clear the theme registry.

Is there a way to exclude specific roles instead of showing the activity for a particular role?

I am closing this issue, which is for a not supported Drupal version.
