While looking at a way to insert attachment displays in a Views based Heartbeat activity stream, I saw on the demo and documentation site that one could use Display Suite and the “Heartbeat displays” that heartbeat.module provides to change the way Views outputs the stream.

So I went to Display Suite -> Heartbeat displays -> Fields -> Add new code field and clicked on the link in the help text to view “properties and preprocess variables for any object in a separate window.” Cool. The separate window opens and there is only one object to click on: “Heartbeatactivity.” I click on that and the message “No info found.” is displayed.

The URL in the browser at that point shows as: /admin/build/ds/hds/fields-examples?type=heartbeatactivity

I tried adding &id=xxx as the text on that window suggests to see a specific object and it didn’t make a difference in the result.

Display suite is 6.x-1.4.
