I recently installed Activity onto my website as it seemed to be the easiest way to implement an activity feed onto my website. I have styled it and got it sitting in a block on my front page, my issue is, its not showing any activity of my created content types when i create new content.

For example...

I have created a content type that posts "news" on the "news" page, but will also spit it out onto another page in teaser form. I also have set up an events calender, and activity doesn't add a note to the Activity log that a new event has been created. The only thing that it puts in the activity log is when new blog posts are created.

I have gone to site configuration > activity and under Token types my "News" and "Events" are ticked.

Also all the textfields under "Messages visible to the "All" role." & "Messages visible to the "Author" role." role all have the strings in them, yet nothing shows up.

I'm still fairly new to drupal so maybe i am missing something. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Is this happening to all users? In my case, user 1 doesn't generate activity...

i read that it doesn't record user 1 activities.
but i got the same issue as clarky. i dont know if i'm using the module the right way or missed something. but i didn't get any activity in my /activity page.

i created content. commented it. add user as friends (UR module). posted a topic in a group. nothing.

any idea?

i can see now some activity. i think it's only for new users... all the users before the module install have no activity record. is it a bug?

Confused on what you mean by that #14. Activity when installed doesn't go through your entire site and build up activity records. But from the point Activity is installed, it will create activity streams.

yeah i know that. but it isn't creating any activity (new activities) for old members. only activities for new members. it creates activity for anonymous users and i dont want this.

Im betting that #6, you have hide activity permission for authenticated users. Hide activity means that any activity that the user does will NOT be recorded.

So I suggest checking hide activity for anonymous user role and un checking it for authenticated role.

OMG

Scott Reynolds, thanks for reading my mind. That was the problem. I thought "hide activity" would give the user the permission to hide their activities. I think it's not clear that it's to hide all of their activity right away. I think this had to be an option inside activity settings page.

thanks.

Yep we are aware of this confusion and that permission is out in Activity2.
