Question

I’ve recently discovered a new solution for activity feeds for rails. It is a Protocolist gem.
It is as simple as timeline_fu but supports some new useful features and hopefully will become much better in the future.

But currently I miss one of the timeline_fu features – it is an ‘secondary_target’ polymorphic assotiation.

For instance – there are Accounts in my app, each of which has many Notes

So, when Note is updated, Activity needs to be linked not only with note itself as a target, but also with an account it belongs to – it will be secondary_target.

Any suggestions how that can be done using Protocolist?

Answer 1

So, the only way to do this is to use fire method inside a model or controller action

fire :updated, secontary_target: owner

This solution needs according fields to be added to Activity model manually.
