Activity

The Activity module keeps track of the things people do on your site and provides mini-feeds of these activities in blocks, in a specialized table, and via RSS. The module is extensible so that any other module can integrate with it. The messages that are produced are customizable via the admin interface and are context sensitive. Some theoretical example messages include:

• You wrote a comment in response to "example comment title"
• Jim wants to be your friend. Approve this friendship here
• Nancy is Phil's latest fan

There is still quite a bit that can be done to contextualize the message, and working around irregularities in grammar is tricky, but clever admins will find ways to make meaningful generic messages.

The DRUPAL-5--3-0-BETA2 is the recommended version for new users of this module. There is not yet an upgrade path from previous versions, however, and your help with this is welcome. See http://drupal.org/node/218025#comment-726338 for the latest on this.

The buddylistactivity plug-in currently requires 5.x-1.1-beta.

This module has been sponsored by Sony BMG and Tree House Interactive Agency.
