It's pretty easy actually. Firstly, you can override any model and change
when or how it tracks activity. So, for logged_in, for example, you can
override User's update_last_login method:
def update_last_login
# don't track logins in the activity feed
# self.track_activity(:logged_in) if self.last_login_at.nil? ||
(self.last_login_at && self.last_login_at < Time.now.beginning_of_day)
self.update_attribute(:last_login_at, Time.now)
end
To add things to the activity feed, just make them acts_as_activity. For
example, check out the RSVP model, which eksatx just added:
class Rsvp < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_activity :user
...
end
That will create an activity whenever an RSVP is created (the :user part
tells the activity tracker which association on Rsvp is the owner). Then you
can override the _activity.html.haml, or override _unhandled_item.html.haml
to deal with your new activity type.
Good luck,
Bruno
