Activity
sirkitree - September 23, 2007 - 03:18
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.
Installation Notes
- 6.x-2.x
-
- INSTALL, README and DEVELOPER documentation is provided with the module.
- Please DO NOT try to upgrade from 6.x-1 to 6.x-2 as we have not written the upgrade path yet. #391670: Create an upgrade path. If you want to test out the 2.x-dev, make sure that you uninstall any previous versions when you check out a new -dev.
- 5.x and 6.x-1.x
-
- Download the package and throw it into [drupal-root]/sites/all/modules/ (or wherever you keep your modules these days ;)
- Go to [your-site]/admin/build/modules and enable the Activity module and any supporting plug-in modules listed with it.
- Go to [your-site]/admin/settings/activity to setup your tokens for your messages and Save. NOTE: even if you want to go with the default messages, you need to hit Save on this page for your activity messages to show up.
- Now you can see activity messages on [your-site]/activity or enable the block/s for activity that you'll see listed in [your-site]/admin/build/block

- Jan 2 2009:
- The new -dev snapshots have a number of changes. You must run update.php as the database schema for Activity has changed! It's also a good idea to reset the tokens in each activity contrib module to their defaults as many token names have changed.
