Is it possible to customize an activity stream dashlet?

Mathew Keene

I am facing the challenge of customizing an account record activity stream dashlet. Ideally, I would like to see the dashlet populated not only with modifications to an individual account record but also with changes made to any contacts that are associated with said account. I've kicked this around for a while and am not sure how to achieve this. Will I need to make a custom controller that overwrites the activity stream logic and somehow query for contact data as well? I am unable to find anything in the Sugar documentation that points me in the right direction. 

Thanks,

Mathew

    Hi Mathew,

    I am not exactly sure how to customize it for that purpose at the code level, but do have a suggestion for an alternative path to accomplish that. There is a dashlet solution called Timeline Viewer where you can show specific events that are of interest to you without needing to code, such as when a contact record changes:

    TimeLine Viewer | Activity Stream With Custom Events 

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the suggestion Jason Eggers, I think we are trying to stay away from plugins at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind. TimeLine Viewer looks like it does almost exactly what I want. I'll keep working towards a solution via code for now.

    Best,

    Mathew
