Jreviews => CB Activity Stream

Hello,

I hired a freelancer to write a Jreviews-CB-Activity-Stream plugin.

At the moment the titles are working: test30.simple-quality.de/

At the moment we are fighting to get more information in the content. Any hints how to get it?

I have looked in the database and there are a field "message" for that. But how did I get a message box (<div class="activityItemContentTitle"><h5>) like the kunena plugin?

Greetings, Roland

That's just the message variable. Kunena has custom message output though that's done through API. I'm not sure how you're developer is implemented jReviews support, but it all should be done through CB triggers. Please see the below.

Trigger: activity_addActivity
Purpose: Adds new activity to the database
Variables: $userId, $type, $user, $subtype, $item, $from, $to, $title, $message, $icon, $class, $date

Trigger: activity_onBeforeAccess or activity_onAfterAccess
Purpose: Allows custom access permission checking for your custom activity (you unset its row if it fails)
Variables: &$rows, $plugin

Trigger: activity_onBeforeMessageDisplay or activity_onAfterMessageDisplay
Purpose: Allows custom message output for custom activity (as seen with GJ, Kunena, etc.. message display)
Variables: &$return, $row, &$cache, $user, $plugin

Using the above 3 triggers is all you should need to add new activity, determine if the current user can access it, and control its message display.

Hello,

as written before I hired a freelancer who should make a plugin that brings the Jreviews-news into the CB Activity Stream.

From Jreviews direction everything is working fine... But the freelancer always place the complete text including picture and so one in the header of the activity.
He wasn't willing to use CB Api or something else... After paying I don't get any help from him to move it in the right direction...

Could anyone help to finish the plugin.

Attached the actual state...

Here a answer from Alejandro (Developer of JReviews) after asking him which way is the best:

I don't know what's better, but either way it should be implemented in a way that provides the same result as if you were using the CB API. I see this code was used to insert the activities:

$title=addslashes($act->title);
$db= &JFactory::getDBO();
$sql="INSERT INTO #__comprofiler_plugin_activity (`user_id`, user, `type`, `subtype`, `item`, `from`, `to`, `title`, `icon`,`date`) VALUES ('{$actor}','{$target}','jreviews','{$subtype}',NULL,NULL,NULL,'{$title}','pencil',now())";
$db->setQuery($sql);
$db->query();

I don't know if there's a 'content' column in the CB activities table and it wasn't included if the 'item' column represents the content of the activity. Maybe it was easier to do this than figure out how to run the CB API triggers, but again whichever way is used if the CB API has an option to post the content separately then that's how it should be done if you also want this result.

API method is best, but direct database inserts will work perfectly fine. You won't have access control or message display control without using the triggers provided in my previous reply though. Message display can at least be hardcoded without the trigger by altering the template files, but access can't unless you edit core files.

Hello together,

attached the Jreviews-Plugin for CB Activity Stream.

Just unpack and copy to the correct folder.

Where could be an issue with the time... Just check it.

Some example how it looks like:
