ActivityStreamPlugin

ActivityStream Plugin

Features

The activity stream plugin offers to store events in dedicated database tables, in order both to avoid heavy XWiki documents run-time processing (while for example retrieving recent page edits), and to allow new custom types of events, beyond the ones related to the documents life-cycle. The plugin API offers methods to record events in the database, either based on a document or custom events ; as well as methods to retrieve those events. Events can be filtered by the wiki space they concern, the name of the stream they have been recorded to, the user that has triggered its record, and other parameters. They can also be grouped by priority in order to display only the most relevant ones when the stream is very active.
