Default Params about public_activity HOT 8 CLOSED

Yes you can => http://rubydoc.info/gems/public_activity/0.3.2/PublicActivity/Tracked/ClassMethods:tracked

def Model < ActiveRecord::Base
  tracked :params => {:account_id => 123}
end

In your case, account_id is probably dynamic so setting a default in the model might not be perfect. I now realize docs don't give a proper example in the link I provided, only an explanation in one sentence.

Hello.

Thanks for this useful gem.

I made a small addition which enables you to record the dynamic parameters of activity: https://github.com/eicca/public_activity/commit/a6ef4f0c560ea7e00d800517486dcca44b2130d6
For example:

def Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  tracked :calling_params => { :comment_id => "id", :post_name => "post.name"  }
  belongs_to :post
  ...
end

post.name # "Hello World"
comment = post.create_comment
comment.activities.last.parameters #=> {:id => "5", :post_name => "Hello World"}

This is useful if the entries are deleted in the future.
Can you tell what you think about this?

from public_activity.

Not a bad idea, actually! But I'd do it by adding this ability in :params option for simplicity (support for Proc's and symbols). I'll keep this in mind when working on a new version. This should also solve the issue with accessing current_user model when using Devise and similar gems.

Something like:

def Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  tracked :params => { :comment_id => :id, :post_name => {|trackable| trackable.post.name }
  belongs_to :post
  ...
end

Should be more future-proof.

Thanks for pointing this out :)

from public_activity.

Yes, your version is much more correct (by the way, I just do not know how to do it :) ).

Thank you for what you paid attention to it.

from public_activity.

I'll implement that as soon as time allows :)

Was this ever implemented?

@kevinelliott yes, you can now use Procs, :symbols or exact String/integer values in :parameters hash. Please read the docs: http://rubydoc.info/gems/public_activity/PublicActivity/Tracked/ClassMethods#tracked-instance_method

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
