Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Love the module. How difficult would it be to allow activity streams for nodes of a node type? The nodes would would have view, edit, clone (if installed), and Activity Stream tabs when viewing or editing?
Thoughts?

akalsey commentedI don't understand what you're looking for. Could you explain a little further?

keesee commentedSure. Thanks for the response. currently the module works by attaching or associating activity nodes to users. User creates an account and the has the activity stream tab available when editing the user profile. I'd like to be able to attach activities to nodes. The example that comes to mind is a business directory where businesses are nodes. each node would have an activity stream tab where activities are associated with a node rather than a user. Musicians, or artists can be another example if they are maintained by the website and not by registering users. When you edit the node you are given the ability to added activity stream information for a new node that you create.
Thus activity stream would take advantage of the node api aswell as the user api like it does now.
Thoughts?

akalsey commentedI like the idea. Here's how I was thinking I'd implement it.
Add a setting to Activity Stream that allowed you to select a list of content types. The same subtab that appears on user/edit would appear on nodes of that content type, too.
One wrinkle is that to help prevent abandoned user accounts from sucking resources, user streams stop updating if a user stops logging in. I'm not sure how that would work with nodes. Would that feature not be implemented for nodes?

akalsey commentedI think this is a feature for the next major release.

bverc commentedI know this issue is a year old, but I too am really interested in this feature.
By next major release did you mean the 2.x version or a 3.x version?
I was planning on attempting to develop this feature myself before I found this issue. If I have any luck, will share what I have. I do not want to reinvent the wheel if this is already in the development pipeline however.

bverc commentedI made some progress with this, and it's about 50% done. I've included it a patch as I'm unlikely to continue working on it. So if someone else wants to finish it they may.

talatnat commentedI was looking for this functionality and came across this thread. It would make a great addition to AS. +1, subscribing.
