collective.portlet.recentactivity 1.0b5

Recent activity portlet for Plone.

Introduction

collective.portlet.recentactivity provides a Portlet and a Viewlet with Facebook like entries on recent user activities, e.g. “the user admin added ‘News Item 1’ to ‘News’ 10 minutes ago”.

By default, the Recent Activity Viewlet is not registered. If you want to register it, for example below your content, you have to add this code to your configure.zcml:

<browser:viewlet
name="collective.portlet.recentactivity.RecentActivityViewlet"
manager="plone.app.layout.viewlets.interfaces.IBelowContentBody"
class=".viewlet.RecentActivityViewlet"
permission="zope2.View"
/>

Buildout Installation

To install collective.portlet.recentactivity, add the following code to your buildout.cfg:

[instance]
...
eggs =
    ...
    collective.portlet.recentactivity

...

zcml =
    ...
    collective.portlet.recentactivity

Known Issues

The log entries only work for Archetype content types. Though, it should be fairly easy to replace the Archetype specific event handlers with ones that work for other types of content.
